Last Minute Christmas Gift Packaging

With only 2 sleeps till Christmas, it is time to get serious about wrapping all those gifts and so I present to you my last minute Christmas gift packaging video 🙂

I feel so far behind on all my preparations and so I’m still wrapping gifts for my family.

Today I created 2 sets of boxes and decorated two bags that I had in my stash. The two sets of boxes were originally from Pootles.co.uk. Really simple boxes to make so you can create them with papers you already have at home.

It is also a fabulous way to use up all your designer series paper that you have been hoarding. Get it out and chop it up. In last weeks Facebook Live I showed you how to create some gift card holders and I used up some more Designer Series Paper. You can check that out here.

Sweet Candy Cane

Today was my usual Facebook live at 10am and today I showcased the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set and coordinating dies.

I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to create and if you’ve been watching me in the last few weeks you would have known that I am needing A LOT of gift card holders for family. Well today was no exception and I created another one 🙂

Forever Fern

Today I decided to create some more Christmas cards with the Forever Fern and the Christmas to Remember stamp sets. I wanted to show you how you can create lots of cards in a short amount of time. With Christmas only 44 days, we need to get our cards made and sent out.

So I return to the 4 Square technique creating 4 cards quickly and simply. I also created a set of 5 cards.

Trees for sale

The Trees for Sale stamp set is in the July to December Mini Catalogue and is a lovely versatile set to create with. I used it in a recent facebook live and had so much fun creating projects with it. Unfortunately the audio wasn’t good on my facebook live but I did create a quick video where I have sped up the video for you. I was inspired by a few other designs including ideas inspired by CindyB Designs; Selene Kempton & Stampingala.

You can check out the video below and purchase any of the products I used in the links under Products. One of these cards was the inspiration for our recent Blog Hop Colour Challenge.

October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #47

Welcome to our October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #47. You may have joined me from Melissa’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month.

This months Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. I enjoyed this challenge. I designed a card on my facebook live and then recreated the card using these colours. The 3 colours lends themselves very well to a Christmas card. I used the Trees for Sale Stamp set.

The Trees for Sale stamp set is a fabulous stamp set for Christmas and you really can create so many designs with this set. If it isn’t already on your wishlist or on your shelf then it really should be.

Its a great time to get ready to send out all your christmas cards as November is getting ever closer.
