Christmas Gift & Card Ideas

Canvas

This is a 16"x16" canvas that we have painted with Jo Sonja paint. Then mat your photos and glue onto canvas. We have covered Making Memories chipboard letters in the same paper we matted with. Cover chipboard hearts in the same way and for extra embellishment we wrapped some gold wire around the larger heart. Glue letters and hearts into place. This would make a very special Christmas present.

Christmas Tin

Cover your tin with patterned paper, a Making Memories metal "Merry Christmas" and a Christmas holly embellishment. Then fill with lollies, shortbread, chocolate, jewellery or any other little goodies you have! If you have been trying to come up with ideas for presents for your children's teachers this is something different.

Cards

This is a very cute set of card and mini handbag. The card is designed to fit inside the bag.

This card "It's Your Day" was made with the Cricut. We cut the diamonds and the "It's Your Day" with the Cricut.

We have lots of gift ideas in store so drop in for some inspiration.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

New Range from Petaloo

Check out these new funky boxes and flowers from Petaloo. Don't you just love the polka dots! These boxes are very cute and would look beautiful decorated. The flowers come in a range of colours and also without the polka dots.

Cricut Layouts

The Cricut machine is just amazing and we have only had time to play with it a little bit!

The title in this layout is from the Base Camp cartridge. The circles are cut from the George cartridge that comes with the machine. The ribbon slider comes from the Mini Monograms cartridge.

The word Smile and the purple flower in the bottom right corner are from the Mini Monograms cartridge. The other purple flowers and the flower tag are from the All Mixed Up cartridge.

This layout was created by one of our fabulous customers Glennis Knight. She has used the Mini Monograms and All Mixed Up cartridges. The paper is from the new K-ology range.

This layout was created with the George cartridge (title and flowers)

The title Family was made with the George cartridge.

The Xmas word and the stars were all cut with the George cartridge.

Our first shipment of Cricut machines should arrive early next week and we only have 1 machine available for sale from this shipment (the rest have been snapped up by some very eager customers!). We have another shipment of machines on the way and the cartridges are also on the way. If you would like to place a pre-order for any of these please drop in and see us ASAP.

(This quote is from the book Quote Unquote Volume 2, available for sale. They are excellent resources for scrapbooking and card making. We have also had a lady buy one for her coffee table!)

Have a fantastic day and we promise it won't be so long in between posts next time!
