Tying Up The Loose ends of Christmas!

Hi all! It's New Years Eve! Have you got any plans?! We're off to a fancy dress party this evening at a friends house! So i thought it would be a good idea today to tie up all the loose ends of Christmas... i have a few crafty things to share with you from Christmas.

First a card that my good friend Lucy made for her boyfriend Tim for Christmas. She came around and used my craft stash to make it, but i was under strict instructions not to post her masterpiece on my blog until after Christmas. So here it is:

Lucy started with a 'Whisper White' Card base. She layered some 'Old Olive DSP' on the front of the card. She then ran some 'Whisper White' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Top Note Die'. She then stamped the cute little penguins and the Christmas Trees from the fab 'Polar Party' stampset ontot he 'Top Note' and coloured them in using 'Stampin' Write Markers' and various inks and 'Blender Pens'. She punched out a small heart from some 'Real Red' card to place inbetween the penguins and created some mistletoe using  'Old Olive' card and the bramch part from the 'Two-Step Bird Punch'. The berries were created using some 'Basic Pearls'! Isn't it a super cute card!!

I also have the other card totes that i made for our grandparents for Christmas gifts. They took me ages to make and here they are all finished:

'DSP' used for this project is from the 'Cheerful Treat' DSP set!

'DSP' used from the 'Brights Collection'

'DSP' used from the 'Holly Berry Bouquet DSP' collection

The card totes were very well recieved! Everyone was very happy with their gifts and i really hope they find them useful! Check back to my later posts to see how these totes were made!

Anyway, wishing you all a very happy 2012! Happy New Year!!
