Golden Christmas

I have started on my home made Christmas gifts , this is one of four jars I plan to make..So I cross my fingers I get to the 4th one in a month from now...As I will not mass produce them each one will be unique and I plan to make them as part of my Whiff of Joy dt projects..

Here I have used the Christmas Tree NESTED Die-Lights and Halfpearls - Snowwhite

 On the lid I used the Elegant Doily Die-Light, Swirly Leaves Die-lights  

and  the Pearl Brads - White Basics

And i also made a bow with the Grosgrain Ribbon (16mm wide) - White around the jar 

I will post more of these next month..

Bling Bling

So I needed a really girly tag for a Christmas gift I'm getting shipped next week and this is what I came up with..

I decorated with Crystals - Candy Pink and Crystals - Baby Blue around the edge I used extra glue as I dotted them around the edges so the gift tag would still look like this at Christmas when my niece get's her gift.. 

The die cuts are Christmas Baubles Die-Lights - and Swirly Leaves Die-lights

and I also used one of the beautiful Pearl Brads - White Basics

Hope this gave you an idea how to make a super easy girly girl gift tag♥♥♥

The tree it self is cut from Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock and decorated with Crystals - clear iridescent  , Halfpearls - Snowwhite and Pearl Brads - White Basics up in the corner I have used stamps from the French Vintage Postmarks stamp set and added a Norwegian stamp that says Merry Christmas .

Final piece for the advent callendar ♥

This will be one for under neath the tree, the last one was for my friends birthday. And I have started wrapping up the gifts and sent my friend a sneak by mail.. 

You might say oh how organized you are so early with these things.. 

but actually no.. we, my bestie and I live so far apart that sometimes most often meet once or twice a year.. so when we get the chance to meet up I want to be sure it's all in place so I don't have to just throw the stuff together.. Because this just can't be shipped in the mail..

Whiff of Joy products used are:

Christmas Baubles Die-Lights 

Snowflakes Trio

Maya & Kitty sledging - Simply Maya

Halfpearls - Snowwhite

Winter card ♥

All though it's far from winter here (barely autumn some days) I still got in the mood to play with my gorgeous new stamps. These are from last Christmas collection at Whiff of Joy but so cute and pretty.
And I needed a couple of cards to go with the Calendar tags from the last two posts...To make the snow I used glitter + liquid pearl easy as can be but you need to be patient and give it the drying time it needs..

The Key 2 being loved ♥ Simply Maya

I was surfing the web a few days ago and I don't remember where but I shortly scrolled by a image with a purple background. So that was all that was needed that day to boost my inspiration.. 

I found this image and thought it would be perfect for the purple background

Kind of Sepia, kind of Vintage

So I wanted to try colouring a kind of sepia looking image and this I believe is a first time I've done one so I pulled out all my browns and this is what I came up with, I'm sure you've seen way better ones but everyone's got to start somewhere..

The papers I found at a craft store where they sell a bit of scrapbook too and kind of the only purchase I've done this year other than some Whiff of Joy stuff (ok and a ezmount but that don't count..I needed that to use my stamps) And along with a stamp which has not been used yet...

Let's see if i get around to it this year.. I think the pas was by Sorento..

Well you want a list of products used so here it is :)

I will take care of you - Simply Maya

Crystals - Candy Pink

"Staying in Touch" Die-Lights
