Christmas blog hop

Tonight along with some the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team we have some stunning Christmas projects to inspire you with the theme, It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We have a variety of cards, boxes, tags and more fun projects to create this holiday season.

I like to make a handmade tree decoration for my collection of trees every year. (Previous trees have been blogged here, here and here).
My 2016 tree features a box base made with the gift bag punch board (as seen here) and perfect pines framelits. I die cut 6 of the medium sized trees, scored them in the middle and glued them together using Tombo Multipurpose Adhesive to create a 3D tree for my box. 
Don't forget to stop by Kathryn Ruddick's blog next to see more inspirational creations.

Try It Thursday #9

I am forever losing my stampin' dimensionals when creating, so when I saw Angie Kennedy Juda's halloween post it note holder I knew it would be a great spot for my dimensionals. 
I kept the main measurements the same but used wider cardstock (6 3/4")
Now I am no longer mumbling "where did I put them!!!" and I have somewhere to store my half used dimensional sheets.

OnStage 2016

I'm currently in Brisbane at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live event which is why my blog is on the quiet side of things. My business Facebook page and Instagram pages however, are not quiet.
