‘Tis the season! Here are a few Christmas cards I made for a market I attended today. I love the colour combinations.

Now, I just have to make some more for myself and send them this weekend!

Merry Christmas!

Please excuse the poor photography, I couldn’t avoid the ‘flash’ showing due to the cello bag

Christmas fun

by michelle on 07/12/2009

in Christmas ~ other

I thought I would have some fun this year with family and friends and have made these ever popular ‘gag’ gifts. These have been around for years and are reproduced all over the world at Christmas time.

I have used Stampin’ Up! cardstock, chocolate chip ink (my favourite!!), designer series paper, dazzling diamonds and ribbon. I have also used the scallop circle punch, brads and the reindeer stamp from the ‘A Holly, Jolly Christmas’ set…. Oh what fun!!

Reindeer Repair Kit

Reindeer Repair Kit

Poem:

Rudolph has a job to do on Christmas Eve ~ it’s true!

His nose will always light the way, for Santa and his sleigh

But, if his nose should ever go out, don’t cry, or whine, or yell or shout!

Take out this bag and use a bit from Rudolph’s red nose repair kit.

Reindeer Food

Reindeer Food

Poem:

Just sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright,

As Santa’s Reindeer fly and roam,

This treat will guide them to your home.

(you can’t see it in the photo’s but there is glitter in with the oats)

Reindeer Poop

Reindeer Poop

Poem:

Santa checked his list, not once, but twice

And found that you’ve been naughty

and not very nice.

Since coal is expensive, here’s the scoop

He’s filled your stocking with reindeer poop!

Merry Christmas!!

Happy Birthday little boy!

by michelle on 02/12/2009

in Birthday ~ kids

I can’t believe that my second will be two tomorrow!! He is certainly changing a lot and growing up to be a real little character…….. and what little boy doesn’t like rockets

So, here is his birthday card…. now I just have to go and make a rocket cake tonight!

Happy Birthday little man! xxox

zoom!

I think this has to be one of my favourite colour combinations yet! and it was so easy to do as it uses colours from the Stampin’ Up! set of ‘In Colours’. I used cardstock and coordinating ink to complete this card, along with some dazzling diamonds (fast becoming a favourite of myn) and the stamp set ‘Big Bold Birthday’. You will also see something new from the Summer Mini catalogue which is the ’sweet treat cup’ ~ absolutely FAB!

Note: If I was making this card for anyone other than my son, I would recommend placing the outer of the sweet cup underneath a layer. This would be achieved by using the 4.4cm circle punch that the sweet cup would ‘poke’ through. But….. since this was for my 2 year old and he would want to get to the lollies as quick as possible I just placed it on the top ~ I hope that makes sense!

Sweet treat

If the cake turns out well (fingers xx)… I may even post a piccie!

Added 7.12.09 – and here is the cake……
