Card Holder Gift

You may remember me waffling about a couple of Secret Santas I took part in?  Well, one was a hand made swap - everything you sent including the stocking had to be hand made.  I decided to make a batch of cards and package them in a holder... I measured a pile of cards to get the depth I would need and fiddled around with scrap paper until I had worked out a template.  It is just the sort of challenge I find irresistible and I really enjoyed making it. The paper is from a like for ever kit last year (possibly August's?)  The doily and the cork butterflies are from SpiegelMomScraps , the lace from Crafty Ribbons and the ribbon is an old American Crafts roll from deep in my stash! Over the next couple of months I will share the cards I made too.  Rather than bombard you with a load of cards all at once I will spread them out with more recent makes and layouts. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Hanger

It's beginning to look a little like Christmas... and you might start receiving cards in the post.  I like to peg mine to my ribbon card holder. To make this I have used hanging baubles from Crafty Ribbons feature range Christmas Charm .  I've added a few bells , some 3mm grosgrain and some mini pegs. It will be hung on my door ready for cards, and every time someone walks past quickly and creates a little breeze, or brushes their arm against it is they walk past, I'll hear a little jingle - it'll make me smile every time!!
