Beary Merry Christmas Day Two

Hello again,

Easter Gift Bag #2

Hello again,

Well, I finished my Easter gift bag for Dad late last night and left it to dry… I used buttons from my stash as embellishments and they have all dried slightly askew, I must have used too much cotton. I have used my much loved MFT dies, stitched rectangle dies which I finally found across the country in WA with the lovely Bec from Bizzy Bec's. 

Here’s my gift bag:

and the two together you can see the first one here

What I used:-

AC Wave card stock

Strip of designer paper maker unknown

Whimsie Doodle image Egg Scape 

Faber-Castell Pencils

MFT Stitched Rectangle Die 

Buttons from stash

Diamond glaze adhesive

Foam and double-sided tape

A Vintage Christmas

Hello again…

Well, I thought I had until tomorrow to get it done and posted. I decided to give myself a challenge to use some of my ‘vintage’ Christmas products of which I have many, some were gifts, others from magazines. I bought my first pack of doilies, after starting my card as I thought it could do with a bit of something, I was glad that I found a packet of small ones as I had been looking around for some for the last few months and could only find 15cm+ sized ones.

Here’s my card and Wine bottle label...

What I used-

KaiserCraft ‘Yuletide’ paper

KaiserCraft ‘Christmas’ Paper pad

KaiserCraft ‘Christmas Collections’ paper

Kraft cardstock

Square card blank 14.5cm (Paper Mill)

Paper doily

Scrap Silver paper from stash

Lace from stash

Kraft gift tags

Adhesive rhinestones

MFT Fancy Flourish

Circle Dies (for bottle tag)

Stanley Knife and Metal Ruler

Staples/Stapler

Ranger Liquid Pearls ‘Silver Pearl’

Old Date Stamp (covers from 1991-2002)

Black ink pad

Adhesives-Glue stick, double sided tape, foam squares, P.V.A. glue

Score board

Digital Sentiment- Pink Gem Designs
