I’m back with another project using the Fluffiest Friends stamp and die bundle. I just love all the cute little critters in this set. Which is your favourite?

This beaver is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do love to colour, it’s so relaxing. I used both stamps and dies in this card. The die set comes with little leaves and branches to decorate the card. The beaver is so sweet sitting on his “nest” of leaves. You can ink the leaves well for extra interest.

I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.

Isn’t this bear cute? He looks so happy, gorging himself on honey. I love how the honey is dripping out of the pot. I used a mixture of stamped and die-cut elements to make this card.

The main image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they are so easy to colour with. I generally start with my darker colour and then blend with the lighter one. Just be careful not to over-saturate your image. If I want to add more colour, I will let the image dry and then come back and work on it again.

I love to read, do you? I know we have digital books but there is something special about real books. Nothing can beat it. I do admit I will buy fiction books digitally but never nonfiction. It’s just too hard to keep referencing back to previous pages digitally.

Making your own bookmarks is so easy and why not have something pretty to keep your page? This bookmark is a magnetic one. I bought the magnet pairs online a few years ago and still have tons left.

The inspiration for this project is the neighbourhood ginger cat. I don’t know where his home is but he loves to sunbath either in my drive or garden.

  • Orchid Oasis Cardstock – 6″ X 2 1/4″, scored at 3″.

Who doesn’t like a Christmas cracker? I’ve been making my own crackers for years. These mini crackers are perfect to use as a nameplate for Sunday lunch. They would look good as Christmas Decor items, possibly wired into some garlands across the mantle piece.

They are die-cut using the Cracker and Treabox dies. Last year I showed a couple of ways to make up these crackers and a box to store them in. You can find the links below.

Every year I make candy cane pouches. This is what I came up with this year. I keep these in the house around December to give to visitors. You could also add a ribbon and hang them on the Christmas Tree.

These are easy to make in bulk as they are just little pockets. I’ve used a punch to add decorative detail to the opening. Do you like candy canes? If so what is your favourite flavour? Let me know in the comments below.

measurements

  • Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 10″ X 4″ scored as follows:
    • 1/2″ on either side on the 4″ side.
