Morning Crafters.....

We have been busy again making Cards and this week a Stepper Box as well with the delightful character Boofle and what a little Cutie he is.Again we have a Festive theme with both ,but what a wonderful idea to use the Stepper Box filled with little treats to give to your friends and loved ones.

  

 We gave our ladies a choice of Contempory and Traditional colourways ,but we agreed that they all looked wonderful and they had many other ideas for their Stepper Boxes.

 

The instructions for the Stepper Box by  Kirsteen Gill can be found by following the link

Hope you enjoyed seeing our creations this week ,more next week

Christmas Cards and Tags using Toppers and other Techniques.

Same look but different colour schemes make these cards and tags adorable.

Our ladies enjoyed the workshops .Some attending both days.

We created backgrounds using a Brayer and perfect medium stamp pad,The cardstock was embossed first with snowflakes and then with a Brayer loaded with Perfect Medium run it over the raised snowflakes,apply White embossing powder and heat emboss then using Distress ink pad and Cut n dry foam rub over the cardstock and the embossed snowflakes act as a resist.

The Holly layer has been created in a similar way but instead of embossing powder dust over with Cosmic Shimmer Mica Powders.

The Tags have been embossed using only selected parts of the Embossing Folders and then decorated with Toppers ,Die-cut Snowflakes and Ribbon.
