It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Hello lovely people,

It's not long to go and I still don't have all the Christmas cards I need, so guess what my Dies to Die For DT card is today?!

I definitely didn't need any more Christmas stamps but somehow a set from Neat & Tangled came home with me when I was on the DtDF stand at the last Motorcycle Museum show!

This little snowman and the sentiment are from that set and there are a whole heap of other cute images in there too.

I did basically the same design with the penguin from the set, but he was feeling camera shy and I don't have a photo of him!

I hope you have all been enjoying some Christmas crafting!

Elves with treats

Hello lovely people,

I'm ashamed to say I have quite a few lovely Stamping Bella Christmas images that haven't been inked up yet, so I'm using one of them today for my Dies to Die For DT card.

I absolutely love these little elves...just look at their adorable little pointy ears and those little legs...sooooo cute!

I'm not sure if they're packaging treats for all those good children (and adults!) or just stuffing their faces!

It's another super simple layout from me but I did find the perfect little candy cane die to use as a co-ordinating detail. 

The sentiment is from a lovely Stamping Bella Christmas sentiment set and I've used a new tag shape to cut it out.

Festive bottle tags

Hello lovely people,

I'm afraid I'm back to being busy behind the scenes with not much happening on my blog!

But since it's Friday I have a Dies to Die For DT project to share :-)

"I love wrapping bottles" said pretty much nobody ever, so these bottle gift tags are the perfect answer!

...and yes, you could still wrap the bottle if you were so inclined - lol!

I've used a brilliant die from MFT to make it super easy to cut the base shape and then used some fab festive dies to decorate them.

I LOVE these snowflakes :-)

I liked the linked chain circle dies but wasn't sure I would use them...then they just somehow came home with me after I was helping out on the DtDF stand at the Motorcycle Museum...and they were perfect for this project...hurrah!

I love a story with a happy ending :-)
