Mrs Santa Card + new Digi/Template – First Posted: Thursday, December 17, 2009

My latest digi is a Bodice, I have made it plain so it can be used as a digi stamp or as a template as I have here.

I printed the image onto red card stock and cut a conical shape for the skirt and edged both with fluffy white fibers. I  punched a circle in my backing paper where I placed my ho ho ho sequins with foam pads. I added a scalloped border and some white ribbon to finish.

Pillow Boxes + Template – First Posted: Tuesday, December 15, 2009

I took apart a pillow box to make a template of it as I wanted to make some myself, I’ve posted the template below for you. Pillow boxes are a great package for small pressies like jewellery.

I printed the template on the reverse of my patterned card using a draft setting on my printer so it was pale and wouldn’t show through, I expanded it to fit widthways on my A4 (letter) paper in Word. I cut along the solid lines and scored along the dotted lines and added some sticky tape on the tab and stuck it on the outer under side. I punched a 1.5″ circle with some left over patterned card and cut a slightly larger one in plain cream card stock to form a tag and attached to my box with a length of 1/4″ cream ribbon. I found these gorgeous patterns in a free Christmas paper download at Mae.

All strung up – First Posted: Thursday, December 10, 2009

Todays card is a string of cards card.

I had great fun making this card, I used a card hanging set with mini pegs which I picked up at my local pound shop and made tiny cards using any small Christmas-y stamps I could find, I addad some gems and gold edged ribbon to add to the Christmasy feel.

Yes, I’m starting to feel festive, I even made it watching Christmas films!
