Altered vintage Christmas gift bag

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a recreation of a vintage Christmas altered gift bag that I have designed. I loved making this first time round, so I sat down at my desk and created another one! I have to say it is one of my favourite creations!

A list of ingredients will be at the bottom of this page!

There is a brand new challenge over at Sparkles Christmas challenge and the theme is 'use a sleigh' so I thought this would be perfect as my DT creation.

Products that I have used to create this are:

Maja design 'A gift for you' paper collection

Die'sire classiques Christmas Santas sleigh metal die

Xcut lace holly mini die

M and C Boutique natural theme die

Heritage Christmas reindeer wooden embellishment

Mulberry roses in cream and wine red tones

Christmas red berry embellishments.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, see you on the next post!

I'm dreaming of a PINK Christmas!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some shabby chic Christmas cards that I have recently made. Pink seems to be my favourite go-to colour at the moment.. and well, who doesn't love a pink Christmas! I found these delightful Santa images on Ebay so of course, I had to have them! I have also purchased these wonderful pink Chrysanthemum's from another seller on Ebay and they match perfectly!

I have used blank kraft card stock, which I scored myself and have also used pink stripe and star vintage paper, vintage music sheets and bingo cards to create a shabby chic look. The little banners under the main image are cut from pink glitter wallpaper along with a small banner die.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post! Hugs, Zowie xx

You better not cry! - Artsystamper Challenge

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today a new challenge starts over at Artsystamper and the winner will receive a wonderful prize from their Etsy store!

We are also collaborating with Double Trouble Challenges.

I am also sharing my DT creation, made using Beverly's beautiful digital Poinsettia stamps and paper collection, which you can find HERE and if you purchase this, you also get the wonderful Seaside Holiday set free (offer available through December 24th)

Here I have used the Poinsettia paper from the collection, some wood texture paper and a strip of corrugated card from my own stash. I adhered all layers of paper on to a piece of kraft card stock.

Here I have layered two of the Poinsettia stamps from the kit using pop-dots.

Before I adhered the Poinsettia, I layered a few Holiday Greens die, cut also from Kraft card stock.
Each has been distressed using Walnut stain distress ink. To finish my card, I have printed out the quote 'you better not cry' as I thought it fitted this darling vintage photo perfectly!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit! Hugs, Zowie xx
