Last Minute Candy Wrappers

Hiya,

Hope you are all prepared for Christmas. Here are some last minute gifts that I made for neighbours. I used the candy wrapper die and put little chocolate eclairs inside them. I just decorated the outside with patterned paper. You could add some ribbon as well if you wanted to.


I think these are great as little treats to give away in kids party bags. You could also you them as place name holders at the dinner table as well as double as pudding.

Well that just leaves me to wish you all a great Christmas.

Take care

Christmas Card Share

Hello,

Sorry it has been so long since I last updated. I have been quite busy making all my Christmas Cards and presents.I manged to get all my cards out to South Africa on time and they have arrived safely so I am pleased.

Here is the card I made for my work colleagues. I used whisper white card stock as the base and then Not Quite Navy as the background colour. The stamp set is Christmas Deer - 128144. I used Bashful Blue to ink around the stamp.


 
 
I have done a recent order with Stampin' Up! and am doing a You Tube video which I will be posting in the  next couple of days.
 
Hope all your preparations for Christmas are going well.

Card Share

Hiya,

Sorry it has been so long since I have been on. I have been busy making Christmas cards to send to my family back in South Africa. Unfortunately due to the cost of postage I had to keep the cards very plain and simple as too much paper adds so much to the cost. Already each card cost me £1.28 to post!! That is more than the card cost to make.

This is a card we made recently in card club.  It is very simple, just layering coloured cardstock with whisper white. The stamp is Just Believe. It is a wonderful nature orientated stamp set that can be used for both Spring and Autumn cards.


I am starting to make all my Christmas cards for work and the UK. I will show you some samples soon. I promise!!!

Take care
