Wow how cold are you? Here in Lincolnshire it's well below zero and the odd bit of sunshine is failing to melt the ice and frost! In fact in our old victorian house we have ice on the inside of the windows!!! At least the curtains are doing their job during the night and stopping the warmth from our stoves going out of the windows. I hope everyone is safe and well in this cold.
To take your mind off the cold why not do a little crafting. It's a fab pastime for losing your troubles of feeling cold. I've done exactly that and started on some Christmas cards. Here's a simple but elegant design. Score your base card at half centimetre intervals on the reverse to get the texture that you can see here. The brights designer series paper stack is fab for backing papers and not only that it is excellent value with each sheet costing less than 40p per 12x12" sheet. Curly Cute stamp set is great for sentiments with
Thank you
Congratulations
Happy Birthday
Thinking of you
and
Season's Greetings that I've used here. A very usable, all year stamp set.
Contempo Christmas set provides the ornament and of course, the punch makes this an easy option. You can also cut it out especially as the punch is temporarily unavailable. Rhinestones and taffeta ribbon just add to the glitz and a little more texturing provided by the spiral punch and paper piercer.
Look out very soon for my 'GIFTS TO GO!' packages that I will be offering with free gift wrapping and bonus items with each package including one with the paper piercer.
Keep warm and be safe
