Well Christmas came early to my house today along with the first of my monthly Xmas club! The challenge to make at least 3 cards and a gift bag/box/carrier each month till December so we are well on our way ready for the festive season :0)
To make the kits go further we opted for basic Kraft card base cards and envelopes and it was amazing how much we had left...certainly could of made many more cards ( and will do another day ) but just ran out of time!!
Basics of the kit included Whisper white card, jolly holidays DS papers, old olive, real red and cherry cobbler cardstock, Perfect Punches and Contempo Christmas stamp sets.
I embossed some of the backgrounds with my new square lattice embossing folder that only arrived yesterday and i love it sooo much...makes your papers look like fabric without even trying :-)
We also made a gorgeous milk carton gift box from a single sheet of A4 card and very simpple to make but so effective...i would love to receive this as a gift let alone with something inside it, but then am i the only one who gets excited playing with paper...surely not!!??!
Last but by no means the least i had a go at this gorgeous mini handbag as featured on my fellow Jem Sarah Jane's blog, such a talented lady and i love the way it turned out, sooo very cute
well thats all from me today, such a busy day am going to chill and put my feet up for a little while.
Take care
