Enchanted Gingerbread Dwelling :D

I just had to see if I could make a little 2D house using all the house elements from the Enchanted Dwellings Double A4 die set from Tonic :D The die set is designed to make 3 Enchanted House Gift Boxes, but all the little doors and windows are perfect for creating toppers for your cards too :D So I just had to make a Gingerbread house for Mum's Christmas Card :D

Tonic Craft Kit #87 :D

I had a lot of fun with this month's Craft Kit, I love pattern dies like the hearts in this set, the perfect dies for using scraps, or for just having a play when you're not in the mood for proper crafting :D I also enjoyed playing with the Large Glue Pen and the foil too! :D xxx

HTVRONT Puff Vinyl Holly :D

In today's video I was having a play with some Puff Heat Transfer Vinyl from HTVRONT, you can definitely cut it using your LOKLiK Cutting Machine and I will in the future, but I wanted a fun whimsical handmade look for these card, so I just cut the holly and berries by hand :D I also wanted to add a bit of stitching as I loved it so much on my Sewn Shaker Card, but I must admit the sewing machine was not the biggest fan of sewing through the puff vinyl and card stock, but I was determined to get it to work :D The result probably isn't for everyone, but I was enjoying having a play and I like how they turned out :D Christine xxx

A Filmstrip Christmas :D

I said this in my of my Patreon videos over Cyber Week, and I just had to use the little filmstrip die from the Tonic Memory Dex die set to make a background for my siblings Christmas card! And I adore the Trim a Tree die from Tim Holtz and it was the perfect focal point for this card :D

Have a Crackin' Christmas :D

I love Francoise's Gnome stamps, and I never got around to using this stunning Nutcracker Gnome when it came out (I think it was last year, but I couldn't find it to link too, so think it was a popular one!) And I just had to use it to make a crackin Christmas card for my lovely Patreon Vicki from Pumpkin :D
