PaperLicious Team Swaps

Here's what I made for my team this year;  

He looks even cuter when the light is switched on but it wouldn't show up in the pic :(

 

The cute little snowman is a CASE from Becky Roberts.  That lady is one clever crafter.  And wouldn't you know it, months ago while in Costco I found a lot of these battery operated tea lights, so a big thank you to Becky for giving me a way to use them!!

As for the box, that's as easy as 1-2-3 with the Two Tags die for the Big Shot, a length of Cherry Cobbler seam binding and some snowflakes from the Snow Flurry Die - my new fave!  The centres are our Dahlia's in Raspberry Ripple & Gumball Green.

The DSP is the Festival of Prints.   I used a piece of Very Vanilla to make the centre part of the box - it measures 6 3/4" x 2 7/8" and is scored at 1/2 inch from each edge (portrait) and 2" from each edge (landscape).  If you attended any of the Heartfelt events this year you would have had something similar as a make n take.

Pop back tomorrow, when my 12 Days of Christmas projects begin!

Cheers

Who Cares What's in the Package.....

......when it looks this good?!

You can make one of these lovely gift cards at my market stall tomorrow. 

I'll be at North Sydney market next to Stanton library from 9am.    And the community centre is having their open day so you can check out all they have to offer.  Get some lovely food & coffee, and enjoy the festive atmosphere while you do your Chrissie shopping.

Bag a bargain!

Happy stamping.

Mojo Monday 165

I first started doing Mojo Monday way before I ever posted anything on my blog - confidence I think!  Anyway, I'm really pleased to say that the more I do, the easier I'm finding it and I can jump in and create a whole lot quicker.  I used to spend hours wondering about colours, stamps, occasions etc etc etc.   But this morning I knew exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw the sketch:


And here's my card:

Supplies used:
Stamp Set - Gifted
Card Stock - Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede & Real Read
Paper - DSP Christmas Cocoa Specialty - LIMITED TIME BUNDLE OFFER
Tools - 1 3/4" circle punch, Curly Label punch, Big Shot with Bigz Two Tags Die (sorry, bought while in the US.)
Rhinestone Brads (the big one), Jewels - Rhinestones & Mistletoe Ribbon (Gojus!)

The tag opens up so it's perfect to pop a little cash into for that gift for the person who has everything.  It's a little small for a gift card though, but you could also use it to stamp a message inside.
Thanks for looking!
