See how my Many Merry Stars Kit is coming along..........

Hi Today's post is coming to you a little earlier than normal, but I am off out tonight to a party near Worcester. This will be their third party and I ran my Xmas Stamp a stack for them during half term. I have made one of the box's this week and given it a swing opening, so that you can pop a little gift inside. The red star in the centre was cut from a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, and the centre star was cut from the original top piece of the pre-cut cardstock in the kit. I just carefully folded the corners of the star when I ran it through the bigshot. I used the Stars framelets which co-ordinate beautifully with this seasons Christmas Stamp sets and this Kit. There are also great to use with birthday and congratulations cards.

I then had a go at one of the smallest stars. Stampin'Up! have given some feedback on putting these together, but I definately endorse the fact that you need to make the larger box's first, as the small ones are fiddly, I have made mine into a Xmas tree decoration and added a bit of bakers twine so that it will hang from the tree.

So here is a picture of my full collection of stars so far...........

A little Christmas share today.....matching box and card

Hi, I am hoping todays post will be much quicker than yesterday now that I have everything all organised and photographs taken. I enjoyed my reward of crafting last night, the little stars box is lovely. I have made a plan to make one box a night and will share them with you on Fridays post each week. So todays project is from our monthly training get together a couple of months ago. Its the same box I showed you yesterday only I didn't make it as tall. The matching card is sparkly and full of stars. I used Blackberry Bliss and Crushed Curry Cardstock which is a combo I really like. The Endless Wishes and Bright and Beautiful stamp set and Framelits were used for the card. I hope you enjoy these two projects. As always all the products used can be brought from me via my on-line shop on the right hand side or by contacting me direct. First we have the box

and the card
