Beautiful Friendship

I love the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. Most of the cards you see made with it are understandably in pastel colours, so I felt inspired when I saw the colour combo of Cherry Cobber, Shaded Spruce and Early Espresso over at Global Design Project

This seemed perfect to send as a thank you card for friends who had us over before Christmas, as it still seems quite festive. I added some polka dot tulle ribbon to brighten it up a bit!

Happy crafting! April xx

Lip Balm Gift Set

Merry Christmas! I hope you are enjoying this festive time of year.

This is my snippety make for Pixie's Snippets Playground where the lovely Di very kindly does a massive Christmas event with beautiful, inspirational cards and an amazing prize draw.

This gift set was made to maximise a rather lovely couple of 6 x 6 pieces of paper. I also stamped on the lid of the lip balm that I made. The dinky milk bottle carton tutorial that I used can be found here. The little fold-flat box tutorial can be found here. Both were lots of fun to make!

I hope you manage to get some crafting squeezed in between the celebrations!

Piggy Tag

How is it December already? Every year I think I'm ahead of the game and then suddenly it's all upon us and the time races away.

Here is a piggy wrapped up warmly with his woolly hat on. He is a very cute Hero Arts stamp and is going on a present for my friend's daughter. She is very fond of pigs indeed. The tag is folded so that it has its own integrated chocolate coin :-)

My winter pig was inspired by Day 26 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019. There were lots of lovely reindeer, penguins, foxes, bears and mice all wearing their hats and scarves! I loved all the tags, but I was particularly inspired by these tags by Eloise Blue!

I'm also sending festive hugs to Di, Dudley and Parsnip over at Pixie's Snippets Playground. Tags are super snippety aren't they? Particularly when they involve chocolate coins...

Happy crafting! April x
