Magnetic Jigsaw Stocking Filler Idea

Hello!

Some of my family came to visit over the weekend and I went shopping with Mum, all of the shops had their Christmas stock in so we took the opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping. I totally feel ready to start my Christmas projects now and I’m going to start right now as today’s project would be a great idea for a home made stocking filler (stuffer). I saw some A4 printable magnetic sheets in my local pound shop, 2 sheets for £1, bargain huh? As soon as I saw them I knew that I wanted to make some magnetic jigsaws for my little nieces and nephews, personalised with their own photographs on, to play with on the fridge.

So today I have a Jigsaw pattern for you, it has quite large pieces so it’s ideal for younger children, it only has 9 pieces, I will be posting a different Jigsaw pattern with more pieces another day. I have the Jigsaw cut file for you and a printable template version too if you fancy being brave and cutting it out by hand.

I printed my photograph onto my magnetic sheet then cut a practice jigsaw and laid my image face down in the same spot for perfect placement. I cut the jigsaw shape 3 or 4 times (double cut) to ensure that the sheet had cut all of the way through as the magnetic sheets I have are a bit thicker than card stock. This is how it looks on my fridge (this is not my child which is why I covered her face):

I’m in Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine!

Hi Guys!

The lovely people at Cardmaking & Papercraft contacted me some time ago regarding some of my images being used in the November edition of their magazine. I’ve been so excited while I’ve waited for it to be released, I ordered a copy (Issue 110) and it arrived this morning. I am over the moon with it, there is a 2 page spread containing 4 cards made using some of my Christmas Digital Stamps.

If you would like the digis used and to see the original posts including my versions of these cards…

you can find the Stocking here,

you can find the Round Ornaments here,

you can find the Long Ornaments here

and you can find the Conical Tree here.

The magazine had an absolutely gorgeous stamp set free with it and also a book of patterned papers so I have even more reasons to be delighted with it :)

Coffin Invite

Hello!

I have a new set of Halloween images for you today, There’s a cut files set including a Skull and Crossbones, a Coffin, a Witch on her Broomstick and The Grim Reaper. Other cut files include a border I’ve made with the Skull, I’ve turned the Witch into a circle sentiment piece and popped The Grim Reaper into a frame, I love how sinister he looks. I’ve also added a couple of digi circles with sentiments for you to print off, one with the Skull and the other with the Witch image. I hope there will be something there that could come in handy for you :)

Today I made a coffin shaped invite, I’m not having a Halloween Party but if I was I would so send out invites like this. I cut the front panel in core’dinations card and embossed a line just inside the outer edge using my score board then sanded to reveal the colour under the black surface. I pierced some holes and popped in some brads to mimic nails then printed ‘You’re Invited’ on some grey card and used in place of a name plate. To make my card base I simply welded 2 of the coffin shapes together and sized it slightly larger than my front panel.
