Bird Banter Matchbook

Hello! I love the Bird Banter stamp set. This toucan seemed perfect for making a matchbook to hold a tropical green tea bag. The matchbook was made using Mary Fish's measurements here. It's the perfect size for a teabag sachet!

 

 I think he's definitely a cute little guy! It's a fairly small project so quite snippety. For that very reason this toucan is flapping off towards Di and Parsnip at Pixie's Snippets Playground. Ironically my sand eraser came in VERY useful for this card as I stuck lots of things in the wrong place and made a complete mess, so THANK YOU Di!! I'd also like to enter my card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Crafting with Friends. April x

Year of Cheer

Hello! Although I make Christmas cards all year round for the Christmas Card Throwdown challenge blog, there comes a time when I start making my real Christmas cards if that makes sense. Generally it seems to happen when those big stripy spiders weave massive webs in the garden, just waiting for you to walk into them!

The leaves above are thankfully spider-free and a combo of copper and champagne foil with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. The lovely Designer Series Paper is Year of Cheer and it combines no less than four metallic tones - copper, gold, silver and champagne. Although it appears in the Christmas catalogue it would be great for weddings too, I think. The sentiment from Merry Patterns has been embossed in copper and I have used the new Leaf Punch too. I hope you like it!

I would like to enter my Christmas card into the following challenges -

Christmas Cards All Year Round - September challenge is 'Use Leaves'.
