Last Minute Christmas cards

Hi everyone... Jenny here :0)

I know we are so close to the big day now and most of you are done with Christmas cards 

but I have a few designs to share with you today that I made for my sons

classmates at school..... I haven't had chance to think of anything beyond Christmas this week!!!

I decided to go done the simple route although cutting the reindeer took a while!!

They are 4" square cards, perfect for school friends, here are each design..

I embellished each image with a gem, pom pom or glossy accents and the sentiment was 

easy to shape on the acrylic block to fit the design. The pom pom on the snowmans hat was white to start but easily changed with a promarker to match the hat colour :0)

Here are the sets I used..

All You'll Need, Freezy Fellas, Critters in the Snow

and Ornate Ornaments

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy, and hopefully dry, Christmas :0)

I'll be back next week with something other than a Christmas card!!

Thanks for looking

Holiday Cheer!!

Hello, Jenny here :0)....

I apologise for my current snowy theme here on a Saturday morning

but the latest Paper Smooches Christmas stamps are such fun to play with and of 

course they mix perfectly with older sets too.

I love all the funny snowmen in the sets so I thought 

these two guys would like to have some fun on a card....

... not sure they're evenly matched size wise but hey ho :0)

I've used one of the germs from 'Healthy Vibes' because without the face it looks 

like a splatted snowball and sits perfectly overthe snowmans face...... 

I added googly eyes instead and the fact that 

one of them has stuck in the up position just adds to the dazed look!!

Here are the sets I've used: Freezy Fellas, Healthy Vibes, 

I've also used Swanky Snowdudes and Christmas Sampler

both of which are currently out of stock but more are on their way :0)

Thanks for looking

A Chilly Milk Carton

Morning everyone... Jenny here :0)

At Christmas time I like to make fun packaging for sweet treats so my son 

can give them out at the end of term to his classmates and teachers.

In my quest to find a suitable design and shape I decided to use the 

Paper Smooches Chilly Chums stamp set to decorate a milk carton

to contain Frosty Snowballs... or sugar coated chocolate balls to you and I :0)

I cut the milk carton on my cricut expression using Tags, Bags, Boxes and more 2

and then stamped the snowy sky using Lawn Fawn's Let it Snow whilst the box was still flat.

The Chilly Chums are stamped and coloured with Promarkers before cutting them out 

and sitting them in the snowy landscape... the trees are from Warm Hearts

and the sentiment from Freezy Fellas :0)

To close the box I punched two holes and then tied a ribbon through so it 

didn't haveto be torn open.

I think the chilly chums look rather cute and lend themselves quite well to

fun packaging....especially at Christmas time :0)

Thanks for looking and hope you have some crafty time this weekend.
