Christmas Gift Cards

This year I gave my teenage niece and nephew gift cards for Christmas.  I have discovered this allows them to get something they want which is usually quite different to what I think they might like.

I made each of them a gift card in the form of a waterfall card using the stamp set Holiday Lineup.  I just love the characters in this stamp set and although it requires a bit of colouring the final product is well worth it.

The first card used the Christmas Elves with each one saying a short message.  This meant I only had to colour the elf that was speaking on each section of the card.  As you pulled down the card the full message was revealed.

The second card used the Snowmen and worked in the same way. 

The gifts were well received and everyone was happy.

Desk Organiser

My apologies for the lack of new material on this blog over the past couple of months.  Life became quite hectic in November when my Dad as diagnosed with cancer. He is now undergoing treatment and although not "fixed" he is much better.

I now have some time to post a range of projects which I have completed over the past 3 months for you to have a look at.  The first is a Desk Organiser which is a Kaiser Craft product.

 My sister and I spent some time putting these together using the Designer Series Paper, Paisley Petals. All the paper is from the same set but combined to make 2 very different colour schemes.


This was another "off the page" project which I learnt about while I was down in Bright in October. I am looking forward to trying some more.
