Countdown to Christmas - share your Christmas ideas here!

Yes, thanks Sue, it’s been nice sharing Christmas chat here.
I’ve got an Envelope punch board, hadn’t had a play yet .

Anyone else get crafty goodies for Christmas ?

[g61]

No craft goodies here, but I did get an e-Voucher for a craft shop. I've also started making things out of this year's Christmas crackers

The only thing I got remotely to do with craft was a pink Distressed Oxide ink pad, which was what I wanted, as I'm trying to collect all the colours they do.

Already ! How organised. What are you making ?
I’m making up a dedicated box with all my Christmassy bits and pieces ready for when I make Christmas cards, tags and gift wrap. Picked up a couple of bits in town today, might as well make use of the sales


Sheila, look forward to seeing what you do with your inks

I'm turning them into gift tags (and the cracker ribbons are attached too), and snowflakes (for cards, probably, or LOs). The crackers were a good quality shiny card. Will try to post a pic in due course.

Thanks for a lovely thread. It was nice to be able to contribute without having to make much too.
I used the Christmas quiz yesterday..it went down very well.
I've saved bits off the cracker my in laws bought but I just know I won't make anything with them until nearer next Christmas now.
I've have an envelope board for a year or more now..think I've used it once..I think? Lol

Thank you Sue and ladies for all the lovely inspirational ideas, I will be making some Tags with saved bits and definably joining the BTCR in January.

I plan to do similar with my cards when I take them down.

Beautiful. You’re well sorted for next Christmas
Love the snowflakes, is that a punch or a die you’ve used ?

[g61]

It's a punch. The tags are hand-cut, based on a template from Craftwork Cards. I modified it for the wider ones, to get the whole tree in!

LOVE your snowflakes! And perfect for this week's Friday 5 challenge

I made this using Alison’s sketch.

[alison 2]

Lovely LO, it has a wonderful traditional feel, but I can’t take the credit, Sue found that sketch
I tried to comment in the gallery but iPad is not cooperating today !

Sue, how come the BTCR thread isn't in the Card challenges? or am I just missing it.... LOL ... the only link seems to be through this thread.
