POINSETTIA DAY AND FIVE CARDS

 Hello everyone,

Poinsettia day, what a fun and happy day that was, then five cards over next two days for an order which I can show here, just not anywhere else yet..

Day of die cutting and squeezing petals, inking and gluing began..

These did not take too long at all....about 2 hours maybe, or less.

pretty..

layering them all and die cut a few gold leaves, but not a fan, the wrong gold for me, too brassy.

centers going in, with gold Nuvo drops..

three at a time or they melt into each other and that is just annoying.

Ready for white paint spattering.

done..beautiful..now for five cards..

Sheets of music papers is another favourite paper of mine

and love making these little loops for leaves I suppose, 

but just makes them pretty and dimensional.

Gold, lots of gold..

Stars too here and there..

The candle holders all layered up and inked and I 

love my pine needle dies from Honey Bee Stamps, 

they cut perfectly every time.

all the picture were from papers in my stash..

so there we go, another session over with..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I think there are a few more and will definitely have

more to share just after Christmas..

Well, I could share here really, my family never come on here, so pretty safe..we'll see..

See you tomorrow..

BIGGEST PROJECT YET FOR CHRISTMAS..

 Hello everyone,

Still going, and this one is my biggest project for Christmas yet and the theme for this is Animals.and vintage couples and cottages....I was just using up what what I had left and really wanted to make an album

It is a hinged Christmas album and I did make this post condensed then they looked so tiny, so I went with individual pictures and now the post is enormous, so sorry..I'll write really fast and talk out loud even faster and it may make it all go quicker...lets go.

My hinges

all my envelopes and papers, vellum pockets, and kraft envelopes, ready for hinging.

all my animals are waiting and so eager to come and play..

lots of edge inking..

and gluing down.

so far so good..

you just have to remember to get your hinging right or it wont work properly

and not to glue each one shut...how do I know this you ask !!!!!!

Vellum pockets with tags..

Getting thicker..

this is the back with final spine covering the paper hinges.

and here we go...

and back to the front..

So there you go, that was exhausting..

Hope your Christmas preps are going well..

Ill be back tomorrow, with something not sure what but it will be Christmas..

So thankyou so much for stopping by again..

luv CHRISSYxx
