12 Days of Christmas

I've made another set of small gifts for the 12 Days of Christmas for a friend who needs a little cheering up.

I think this Ellen Hutson set is so delightful. I keep it simple by adding patterned paper and a simple colour palette. This year I went with kraft and red, with touches of white.

Here's a closeup of 3 of the tags ...

Here they are more in order of numbers.

Have you ever read or listened to the wonderfully humorous book "The Twelve Days of Christmas" by John Julius Norwich. You can go and listen HERE.

Festive Branch

It's the last challenge at CASology for 2019. How this year has flown by! The cue word is BRANCH.

I started with the Alexandra Renke Branch with Leaves die.  I used some of my patterned paper stash and added white enamel to highlight the berries. Added a button - more stash reduction!

Come and be inspired by a visit to check on the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Floral Threesome

I had stamped a few flowers on a scrap of cardstock to play with the Altenew Alcohol inks.

Took my panel of flowers and turned them into a tag. Gave some texture and depth by masking and stamping the Mixed Typo.

Leaping Reindeer

It's time for a new CASology challenge. This weeks cue word is LEAP.

A great way to keep a card CAS is to focus on the negative of the die cut. The paper I used behind has a slight gold shimmer which is difficult to capture.

Come take a leap and see the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Gift Box of Cards

A Christmas wrapped box of cards ... a gift for friends who love getting cards.

I made a pizza style box. Simple, but elegant.

This card stock has a wonderful metallic shimmer, and it's quite thick and sturdy.

Hero Arts Tags 4

The last in the series of Hero Arts tags mixing up the new with the old, and different stamp companies too.

Hero Arts Tags 3

My third in the series of Hero Arts tags from the November 2017 Monthly Kit.

This one is paired with "golden oldie" stamp. Anyone recognise the little bird?
It's from the HA Christmas Tags set.

As much as I tried, I could not get a good shot of the shimmer and sparkle of the Diamond Stickles.
