1st Christmas Tree Decoration

 

I have covered a MDF heart with gingham card. I added small cotton wool balls on the edge of the heart. I die cut the gingerbread girl in kraft card with a Cheery Lynn die and added tiny pieces of card behind the buttons and eyes of the gingerbread girl. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with an oval die from a Presscut nesting set and used the next size in the nesting set to cut a red oval to mount the sentiment before attaching it to the heart. I added the gingerbread girl and then completed my decoration with organza and satin ribbon.

Sleigh exploding box

 

I have made the sleigh using 300gsm white card then added red and gold mirror card to decorate.

I adapted my exploding box dimensions so the box would house the sleigh. I printed personalised sentiments and die cut sentiments using Sue Wilson dies. I cut the shapes for the sentiments with dies from a Spellbinders nesting set. I added chocolates to the sleigh.

I added another Sue Wilson sentiment onto the lid of the box. Inside the lid I have created a pocket to hold a tag so a handwritten message can be added.

Wrapping presents

 

I have decided to wrap my gifts with brown paper and decorate them with the embellishments I often use on my cards. They look pretty to give to the recipient but in the mean time they match my colour scheme

.  

I added lace and ribbon around the side of the wrapped gift. I die cut the tag using a Tonic die using cream card and the brown paper. I added the sentiment to my gift tag, this is also cut with a Tonic die. I die cut the poinsettia in gold card using a Marianne die. I added some embellishments with the flower. I inked the edges of all the die cut elements.

Snowman Christmas Exploding Box

 

A gentleman ordered this exploding box. He wanted the snowman inside so I had to make the box bigger than I usually do. The snowman lights up so I die cut a small circle into the base of the box to enable the recipient to access the switch.

I used a score board to make the box.  I matt and layered all the panels with red and green card. I printed the personalised sentiments and die cut them.  I have used the following dies to decorate the box.

 Nesting scalloped circle - Xcut
