Upcoming papercraft classes...

 I have three special papercraft classes left this year so if you haven't got your Christmas cards sorted, or want to put the finishing touches to your gift packaging, why not get yourself booked onto one of them?  All my classes are fun, friendly and you will always go away having learnt a new technique and a finished set of projects!

Vintage Leaves meets Mini Treat Bag

One of my favourite dies from our catalogue is the Mini Treat Bag die, it's so versatile as it can be used for gifting as well as cards.  Check our the embossing folder too, it's featured in the Autumn/Winter catalogue and I've just sponged over the trees with Early Expresso.

The card inside the 'bag' is so simple to produce, just ink up an acrylic block and press it onto your card, then ink up one of the Vintage Leaves stamps in memento black and stamp over the block shape.  Thanks for stopping by...see you again soon.

Vintage holly leaves...

I was checking out my stamp sets the other day and got to wondering how many of them I could use to make Christmas cards.  It really got me looking at my stamps in a different way, looking at the individual elements and their possibilities.  The first card I made was using the Vintage Leaves stamp set and taking what I imagine are oak leaves and turning them into holly leaves with the help of some berries simply punched out from real red card and embellished with some dazzling details.

I'll will post some more of my makes later in the week, thanks for checking in...
