Christmas Is On The Way

My 84 year old mother has recently moved into a care home. She has been making her own greeting cards for many years, but can't manage them anymore. When she moved she told me to take her card making supplies home.

I think I am going to have to reorganise my craftroom to accommodate it all. There is absolutely loads of stuff. A lot of it brand new in unopened packets.

Every crafter knows to get ahead of the game you need to be making for Christmas now. Every year I aim to be ready in time and always end up making my family and friends cards at the last minute.



This is one of the unopened kits I found at my mother's house. I think it came from the works. It's a very nice little kit.

There is enough to make 12 cards. There are 12 sheets in the pad and each sheet has all the die cut elements to make one card. They are very easy to put together and are very pretty.



As you can see they are lovely little cards. I think I am likely to use them to give to work colleagues this year.

I said there is enough to make 12 cards, actually there is a lot more. There are quite a few embellishments left over, along with some lovely little toppers. When I have made up the full kit I will do another post on how I used up all of the left over "bits"

Happy Crafting.

Christmas Wreath Decoration.

I made this Wreath using files from a Carnation crafts Christmas usb. It was really easy to make. It comes with all of the mats and layers you need as well as all of the decoupage. There are 3 mat layers. I cut two base layers in black, a middle layer in gold and the top layer in black. I cut two base layers because I have put a ribbon loop at the top so you can hang the finished Wreath up. I simply held the ribbon in place with a piece of tape and then sandwiched it between the two black base layers. Then I added the gold layer and finally the black top layer. Next was the decoupage. I printed the decoupage onto 128gsm Navigator paper. This is my go to paper. The print quality is exellent. I get mine in bulk from amazon but if you have a Wilko nearby they sell it as well. I glued the base layer in place flat. Then I added the decoupage pieces using silicone glue. I shaped the pieces to give a better effect by just gently moulding the pieces with my fingers. The sentiment was cut from ...
