When I bring things home to do, they get changed. This christmas cracker was a triangle shape originally and had more ribbon and a different sentiment and a different embossing folder and edge punch! Well lets say I did use the shimmer paper! and somewhat adapted pattern. The embossing folder & edge punch are from the new December mini. I love my bird punch and couldn't resist puting a bird and flowers on it.

Top note die album Tauranga Extravaganza

As a demonstrator at the Tauranga Extravaganza I got to take home the projects that were made to do at home. This means I put my own slant on them. I noticed the top note die album when opened, the points hit each other so I added a spine which is the cherry cobler with white dots from the Jolly Holly DSP. I edged the sentiment with the heart edge punch which is coming in the new mini catalogue on Dec 1st. I inked the edge with early expresso, and made an owl to go on the front as its an album for my grandaughter as I am a night owl. You will see I have embossed the front of the owl with a starburst and put the heart in the middle as my heart bursts with love for my wee grandaughter. you can see in the last pic that I spritzed it with gold spritz again new in the Dec mini.

Envelope Card/Pouch

This is a lovely way to wrap up a gift card or something similar. It ios made by using a long envelope although you can use an envelope of any size. The Punchs used are the butterfly punch and the eyelet border punch and the stamp set is Every Moment. The sentiment is on a sizzlet cut out.
