Poinsettia Pillow Box gifts, PTI Wreath and Spellbinders Sweet Birdie robin Christmas card

 


Hello everyone and welcome back to the August ABC Christmas Challenge.


We have three themes for you this time

P for Presents


I used a new Sizzix Pillow Box die to create the gift packs and decorated them with some ribbon and die-cut poinsettias. The little tag was stamped with a Papertrey Ink sentiment. These are a really good size for little gifts, table favours and a gift card also fits nicely inside.


Q for Quick



I've been having a clear-out in the craft room and came across these pre-coloured images and rub-ons, so they certainly made a very quick card. The label was missing but I think it was an old Craftwork Cards image.

R for Robin



I really enjoyed making this card! I stamped the Papertrey Ink Rustic Wreath on a scalloped panel of card and then die-cut it out before making another one and colouring them both in. I stamped the panel with a sentiment and then raised it on the base card which I had inked to create a sky background to show through the aperture. I fixed the first wreath in the aperture and the second one on the raised panel to give some depth and then added lots of dots around it. The robin was made from The Spellbinder Sweet Birdie die and I cut it out from white card and then watercoloured it.

The DT has lots of inspiration for you over on the ABC Christmas Challenges Blog and if you decide to join us, you can enter over there too.

I'd like to play along at
