Julie :: Cosmo Cricket Christmas cards

Hello again.

Today's project is something a little bit festive: a set of cards featuring papers from the Cosmo Cricket 'Dear Mr. Claus' 6x6 pad along with a pack of the Mixed Christmas Colour Carnation Flowers, both of which are available in the shop now:

The cards I used were only 3x3 inches, and I had an idea to select out a central image from the paper designs and give them the  feel of a festive - retro - postage stamp:

I covered the front of the cards with one of the less patterned designs, stitched around the square, wrapped seam binding / raffia / lace around them and then layered a perforated stamp die-cut on top:

Finally a stamped greeting and a single paper carantion took up the last bit of decorative space on these tiny cards:

That's my last post here before Christmas - so Season's Greetings to you!

Julie :-)

A Matchbox Card ...

Hello, this is Andrea and I'm here to sahre my Matchbox creation. I've loved seeing what the other girls have made and how different they have all been from the same starting point. I thought about this little matchbox for a long time and dithered about what to do with it but then I had a brainwave and it all came together quite quickly one morning

So, this is the outside, I used the Cosmo Cricket Delovely papers and a 7Gypsies handle

Inside is a concertina mini book with each 'page' spelling out the word Birthday

I thought it would make a lovely alternative to a birthday card and there is still room even with the book closed up to tuck a few trinkets and birthday memories inside

I used:

7 Gypsies ATC matchbox kit

Cosmo Cricket Delovely papers

Purple Onion butterfly and sentiment stamps

Nestabilities scalloped rectangle die

Stampin Up alphabet dies

Papertrey ink

and ribbons from The Ribbon Girl
