Christmas, glue and sparkle





Hello!
 December is as ever a busy month!
I finally managed to find a little time to make my christmas cards. This year a bit of a cheat. I planned to carve a snowflake linoprint, however found this snowflake decoration made of wood and foam type material. It was the right size to print using white printing ink. Then added some ribbon, buttons and  liquid pearl accents, super quick and easy. I know many of you out there take months making beautiful cards, I would love to have had more time, but I am quite pleased with my improvised cards.


 Earlier in the month I hosted Drift gallery's Christmas party night.






lots of glue, paper and Christmas sparkle mixed with some tasty festive food. An opportunity to make wooden or slate gift-tags or tree decorations, and perhaps use some new materials. The object of the night was very much, forget 'less is more'.. just go for more!



I have also been working on several new pieces. Here is a sneak WIP peek.



At last Christmas tree is finally up....


So I'll take this opportunity, to wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas.

  2. What a lovely card - that's a great stamp you found, and I love the perfect little button in the middle! The wip is looking fab, the black background is really making the colours pop and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Merry Christmas to you.

  9. This is really a great idea how you have created your christmas cards. I think I have some of these wooden snowflakes as well somewhere and will try it as soon as I found them. The pictures of the christmas party are lovely and I love the little ornaments :)

  10. This is truly amazing Christmas card. All other Christmas creativities are also fabulous. I like every single detail of your DIY Christmas party. Last year I hired a planner for my Christmas bash at New York venues but this year I would love to host DIY party at home.
