How quickly out club meetings come around....last night we made these little paper mugs and stirring stick and added a sachet of hot Chocolate and marshmallows....these little mugs are great as you can also use them for birthdays etc not just Christmas.
Our second project was using both postitive and negative die cuts...inking behind where the die had been cut out and inking and stamping onto the die cut itself....the top layer of the card was popped onto sticky pads to raise it up which doesn't show very well on the photos ... .
The elephant and Giraffe dies came from a pack of dies by Penny Black called On Safari...a versitile little set...I've kept my samples simple but can do so much with these dies...
My Christmas card die is a Memory Box one called Leaping Deer....just used a word die on these little 'deers'.....
For this card I've used a Memory Box leaf die, after die cutting I popped the front in the SU Wall embossing folder, used a small plant punch to finish off my card...
Its coming up to half term week soon and we have two little visitors staying with us but will try and get another card made before they arrive!
Have a great weekend whatever you have planned...
For some reason some of your comments wont publish...but thank you anyway..
Thanks for passing by

I've had a couple of emails asking if I am ok as I haven't posted for a while... yes I am fine but life has been very busy over the past 3 or 4 weeks and I'm afraid crafting has had to take a back seat for a while but hopefully another couple of weeks and I should be back in the craft room.....
Thank you for caring...
Hope you've all been enjoying this beautiful sunshine we've been having...we've just spent a glorious week up in Co Durham and Newcastle, so much to see and do especially Beamish museum what a fantastic place that is took us two days to get round it and then we didn't see it all!
I will try and catch up on your blogs in the evenings to see what I've been missing...
Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
Anne
