Welcome back. Firstly leg me apologies and say that I am bringing Christmas Papercraft to this area of my blog but I'll be covering other paper craft items as well. It's nearly October and I wasn't really intending on buying another craft magazine as honestly I can't wait to get my hands on some of the big named Christmas magazine such as women and home, good housekeeping you know those thick glossy magazines half filled with advertising but I like to see what the big stores are offering us this year. So what happened? Well I saw the sentiment die and decided to go for it. So what you really want to know is are the dies any good? All of the dies are very intricate so they need good card stock and time to punch the pieces out. The tree was the hardest but the snow flakes lovely and I really don't think you can have enough snowflakes. On the above card the pink card is actually glitter card from create and craft. Keep a look out as sometimes it's half price. I made a simple topper with a doilie and a gold die cut shape. I think it's good to have a few toppers ready this time of year. The magazine Actually it's really good. Full of Christmas ideas and lots of cards that can be easily adapted to fit the supplies you already have. I particularly like a section of scandi Christmas cards. What I liked was the use of scandi papers and dies that actually aren't Christmasy just using a Christmas sentiment. I had to try this but I didn't really have any scandi papers!, anyway this my attempt. I know what your thinking the sentiment die is lost with the busy pattern!. Opps lesson learned. But on this card I used a tiny heart which came from a sizzix set. This got me thinking about using this die for a Christmas card. What do you think? I'm not sure, but I cut a few extra out of Christmas paper. I think the prints are a little busy. I'm going to store these for now.
But I guess my point is what dies do you have already and could they be used for Christmas?. Lots to think about. Thanks for reading enjoy your monday xxxx
