I have made a Christmas card using a sweet gingerbread character from the

I absolutely love this cd, so many gorgeous, scrummy images to use and lots of lush backing papers and digis too!

 

I wanted to give my card a distressed feel so I tore the edges and inked with Distress Inks....

My project for this is a Christmas Card. I have made an easel card and printed off the gorgeous papers from the Picknix Collection 2 - Gingerbread Twist. I wanted to show off how beautiful these Poinsetta papers are, they are just too lovely to cover up. I just had to add lace and pins, I love these!

 

 

I think these colours go well together, just a twist on the Christmas Card!

 

Have fun and happy crafting,

Smashing Christmas ........

Hello lovelies, it's me again lol with something that I have been so excited to show you all! I have used the new Studio 12 Gingerbread Twist CD Picknix Collection for my project. This project was my post on the Studio 12 at Polkadoodles Blog from Tuesday.

I decided to make something different, now as you probably already know Smash books are popular at the moment. I wanted to create my own version from scratch and make it a Christmas Theme using lots of the elements from the cd and also adding my own twists like punched Christmas trees, netting, sewing and various other elements I have added which you will see as you scroll through my pictures. I got my sewing machine out again to add some stitching to the back and front covers, this is becoming a regular occurance with my machine!

What have I used for my Smash book you might ask...10 C5 envelopes, sealed them, then guillotined a piece off each edge,covered them with decorative paper and stuck them together with double sided tape, the open edges created the pockets for my lists that I have added. I bound the pages together like a book using my Bind It Machine.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to a..........................

SMASHING CHRISTMAS.............

 

 

I loved making this and I think this shows just how creative you can be with a few envelopes too!

 

Thank you for taking the time to follow my projects and for all your lovely comments too,

 

have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love
