simple paper christmas decorations

i recently made some REALLY simple christmas decorations from card

cut out 16 strips of card 20cm x 1cm and then 16 strips of card 5cm x 1cm

each lot in different colours

i stamped on mine but when it is finished you can't really tell unless you do it in a really bold ink

glue the ends of the longer ones and stick together to make a tear drop

next bit involves a hot glue gun and the way cool adhesive sheet from su.

blob a circle of glue in the middle

then stick all 16 tear drops down-i did it in a star pattern.

after that stick the other strips in the middle of the tear drops

stick another big blob of hot glue down and attach a scallop circle

flip it over and do the same

you can just stick circles down in different colours to finish off

or you can make it a bit fancier like i did and place an ornament punch on the front a la 3-d

then add glitter

because...well...you know...

GLITTER ROCKS!!!!

ornament card

quite like the new ornament punch

and the stamp set that goes with it

for a different coloured themed christmas card try blue/silver/white this year

here i have used some pool party and silver embossing powder with the stamps as well as using the marker to stamp technique on another

simple easy cards

cheers ears

ps i am doing these as a stamp-a-stack in october. contact me clare@crafty-cow.com for class times, prices and dates if interested.

christmas ornament punch number one

you may have noticed i have quite an addiction to punches

lololololol

just a small one

i also like to see what else my punch will do for me before buying it because quite frankly having a one-use punch is a waste of money imho

a good punch has to ahve a multitude of uses

you should see my cupcake punch...i don't think i have ever actually used it as a cupcake lol...those dots on it are waay too useful for eyes and the top is an awesome cloud and...oh wait...i am writing about the new christmas ornament punch from stampin up now......back on track........

anyways the ornament punch

pretty ugly really

and the matching stamp set is ok

easy christmas card theme for you

but it is the punch that is truely fantabulous!

can't actually show it to you until september cos dems da rulz ok?

but i cna show you what you can make with it so you can order it straight away
