Sparkly and Bright

Wow I haven't posted since the 8th - how bad is that! Anyway here is another make for you, this is a die cut from Lotv and I love it!

I also love these fabby papers, who knew turquoise and dark red went together so well!!

I put this lovely ric rac ribbon on  and added gems to the tops of the baubles for more bling!

This is one I didn't really want to give away but I kindly let oh send it to one of his relly's. I hope you all like it as much as I do!

Hope you have finished all your shopping and not feeling stressed as the big day approaches!

Paddy the Polar Bear

Isn't he a cutie! He is another delightful die cut that came with my craftworks cards goody bag. I have used promarkers (ice grey 1- 3) to colour him.

I used a nestie to cut out the snowflakes from kraft card. I had stamped onto the card and the ink was too pale so it went into the  'recycle' box.

The card candy is plain cardboard so you can colour it any way you want. I covered mine with antique linen distress ink.

Punch is MS, sentiment is craftwork cards and papers are My Mind's Eye 'Wild Asparagus'. Glamour dust has been added to the stars.

Smiling Snowman

Dashing through the snow.......

Picture heavy :)

I found this lovely wrapping paper and knew I had the perfect stamp to make my own tags!! I distressed the tags with antique linen and used Stampin Up's Dasher and a Merry Christmas stamp but I can't remember whose it is.

I used heat it up sparkle embossing powder and a Debbie Moore swirl stamp to decorate the edges. I attached jute and recycled some ribbon and bells from last years crackers.

I am really pleased with how they turned out and now have lovely matching tags and papers for the adults :)
