13th Advent Window - Winter scene

 Having the luxury of a slow Sunday allows me the time to play. I'd picked up a copy of 100 days of Christmas Crafts magazine last month which provided lots of inspiration, with a beautiful illuminated papercut scene by Corinne Bradd - so here is my much simpler version.

I've used plain vellum, then Evening Evergreen Shimmer and Gold Shimmer vellum for the Trees and Reindeer. So this simple Christmas Dome with LED candle light, flickers gently in the evening.

Keep your Christmas Crafting simple,

10th Advent Window - it's a wrap!

 Somehow this year is more chaotic, so I'm trying to wrap as I go . . . 

I am the biggest fan of brown paper, but adding festive print lifts the final result. This is the background stamp Festive Foliage stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink with Fine Art 1cm Ribbon (gold thread running through the buff weave). To finish off I cut 2" tags from printed Kraft paper and used a Tag Topper Punch for the ribbon slot.

2 done ;-)

Keep on Christmas crafting,

even if it's when you're wrapping,
