Christmas Gleaming Tree Ornaments


I had a wee play with the Christmas Gleaming stamp set again
only this time I made some little Christmas ornaments for my kitchen
I used real red ink and stamped 6 baubles for each ornament.
If you have the punch you can easily stamp and punch in no time.
I just had cut mine, very quick and easy.
They were scored down the middle then glued together to form the bauble.
I tied them with white bakers twine and added a red bow.
Had to hang on my garden fairy lights to get a descent photo lol.

Christmas gleaming tag



Christmas Gleaming stamp set is getting a right outing this week!
I am slightly addicted to the bold  colours of this dsp too.
This is another tag for my collection and it matches
the card I made last week.
Great to use your left overs from cardmaking for your tags!

Christmas Gleaming gift box for mints

The Holly and the Ivy Christmas Challenge



My Tuesday Tutorial is perfect for those who do craft fairs.
It's a re-sized version of my tictac box which suits the home brand
mints which are similar but just slightly smaller.
You can get these ones in Lidl or most likely Aldi.
If you want to use the brand name scroll down to bottom of my videos
and you will find the large version measurement.

You can watch my video here


Measurements needed to follow along
DSP - 8" x 1 3/4"
After punching score long side
1", 1 3/8", 3 5/8" 
TURN and repeat on opposite end.

On To Adventure colour challenge


Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
We are still dealing with our broken car and feeling a bit housebound!!
Fingers crossed we will find a solution this week.

So as it's Monday I have my Colour Challenge
and these are the colours I put together this time.


I followed the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.
They always help me find my inspiration for these challenges.
I felt the colours suited a male card so that's what I went with.
