O Christmas Tree

Hey There!

I have a Christmas Tree Cut File for you today complete with pot and star, I also have a Christmas Tree ‘double z’ fold card cut file which comes with matting layers for the front 2 panels and the middle panel on the inside. For those of you without a digital cutting machine I have a Christmas Tree digi stamp today too.

To make my double z card I cut the card base in white card then cut a tree to the same height as the card base in green textured card (and a tiny one to decorate the inside). I cut my front panels in burgundy card and some damask style papers to resemble wallpaper and cut my inside panel in the same burgundy card and white paper to write my message on. I cut the green tree into 2 pieces straight down the middle lengthwise and attached to the front of the outer panels and embellished with gems. The final touch was to add some little squares of card and ribbon to resemble gifts below the tree.

Coffin Box

Hello There!

Brrrrrrr, it’s cold here! We had a very weird heat wave last week but now we’ve been well and truly thrown into an Autumnal chill so it feels right that I’m in the middle of Halloween projects now and starting my Christmas ones too. I took my first tentative steps on my sparkly new sewing machine today, I tried out straight and zig-zag stitches. It went really well but I think I need some practice with feeding the paper through straight and to be less heavy footed on the peddle so the paper stops running away from me, the sewing machine is completely awesome I just need to fine tune the person using it, lol.

I have a little coffin treat box for you today, I made one a couple of Halloweens ago but I’ve given this one more depth so it will hold bigger sweets. I have a cut file for those of you with digital cutters and a template version for those of you without as I think it’s a simple enough shape to attack with scissors or a craft knife. The top and bottom parts are included, I cut both parts from one piece of A4 but for a larger one you can cut each part on a separate piece of card. I hope the little trick or treaters in your life will like it :)

Framed Scenery – First Posted: Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Hiyah!

I hope you are having a good day today. Life’s good here in the birdhouse, I got back on my exercise bike today after taking a week off due to a sore knee so I feel all accomplished and I’m very much looking forward to the second episode of Luther tonight, it’s the little things! lol. Now all I need is to figure out what to have for tea tonight, maybe roasted Mediterranean veg with something hmm, aaanyway…

I’ve been planning some little digi scenes framed by circles or squares so that whatever your chosen cutting systems are they should be quick and easy to cut out and add to your project. Not everyone has Spellbinders but most of us have some kind of paper trimmer and circle cutting system so for these at least I’ll stick to these 2 shapes. You may see a new section has popped up for these in the digi stamp section so you know you can expect a few of these. I have a hot air balloon scene for you today, I hope you like it.

I followed a sketch by Card Patterns for my card today, Stamp Somethings challenge was to use pretty papers and Craft your passion has a paper piecing challenge this week which was too tempting to ignore, I don’t often think to paper piece but I always love the results.
