Happy Sunday everyone!

As I have already told you, I think it´s great fun to wrap packages and today I want to show an old tin can that I have saved and now altred up for a Christmas gift. I like to reuse things, if possible.

The nice paper around the can is from Dixi Craft and have a wonderful red color. I found the Santa image in my stash and placed it on the cap. Then I tied a ribbon/lace and twine with a clean and simple tag around the upper part.

That´s all for today. I hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Let It Snow

Hi there crafters!
Still workin on with the christmas cards, it´s hard to believe that it´s only two weeks away. Today I´m sharing a card made with LeCreaDesigns 3D-dies.

I wanted a wintry backdrop in contrast to the warm and inviting fireplace so I took out the "Winter Flurry Frame" stencil from Memory Box and swiped it in with Iced Spruce Distress ink. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz "Mini Holidays" stamp set and was gold heat embossed. All die-cut details are colored with different Distress inks and then adhered with foam pads. I could not resist to add a pair of love mittens from Poppy Stamps to dry by the side of the fire. Okay that´s all for me.
Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog today, I hope you all have a nice season of Advent!
Hugs, Birgit

Hi crafty friends!

It's not often I do something for Tim Holtz even if it happens that I´m stopping by his blog sometimes to see new products and get some inspiration.

But now it has happened ... although I have made my tag in a not so distinctly vintage style. I have also chosen some lighter colors so that it will better match the Christmas gift where it will be attached. Instead of burlap, I used a different rough fabric that worked very well with the spray paint. Maybe I would have made the wreath a little bigger, at least I think so now afterwards when I look at it. Too late to change that now or...maybe I stick in some more twigs;)

Okay that´s all for me...thanks for visiting my blog today!
Hugs, Birgit

Snow For Christmas

Hi everyone!
I´m back with another Christmas card. This time I used an image from Bo Bunny's "Sleigh Ride" paper and gave it a little different touch with the cute bunny made with a die from Marianne Design.

I added small black beads, as poo droppings:) The sentiment is made with a Mandys die and then inked with Distress Stain brushed pewter.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I appreciate it!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Gift - Handle With Care

Hi crafty friends!
Today I´m sharing a bag with a Christmas gift that I have made. If it looks a bit blurry in the photo, it´s because I wrote some names on the tag before I realized that I had not taken any photos, so I tried to blur a little.

First I folded a Graphic 45 paper that I found in my stash to a bag. Then I followed up with some other things that I thought matched the paper and closed the bag with a hefty clothespin.

I love to wrap Christmas gifts and make boxes and bags, so you'll probably get to see some more her on my blog before Christmas.

That´s all from me today. Have a great week!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Tag

Hello crafters!

Today I have a new tag made for Muse:ChrismasVisions. I think I've found most inspiration from Ardyths tag even if all the DT members had made fabulous tags. Unfortunately had The 25 Days of Christmas Tags losed when I would link up my entry there.

I used an old Christmas tree stamp from Reprint, resist technique and water colors to create this tag. A Mandy die was used to "God Jul".

Have a lovely day!

Hugs, Birgit
