Heart baskets

Hello everyone, and welcome!

Can you believe it? This time next week Christmas 2017 will be over. It always seems to come and go so quickly, unlike when I was small when it seemed like a lifetime from Christmas to Easter! This is my last-but-one blog post before The Day and today I’m sharing a very traditional project.

These baskets could hang on the Christmas tree with little gifts inside, or be placed on guests’ plates at a festive meal. They are easy enough for children to make – with a bit of help with the cutting if need be – and might be a useful way of keeping your small ones occupied on Christmas Eve. They use the minimum of supplies - just paper, a bit of glue, and something to cut with.

I did have fun making these and I hope you do too.

Crafty Hugs,

Keren

Hello, and welcome!

There aren’t many weeks left before the Autumn/Winter Catalogue is retired, and while some items are carrying over, many lovely things will be retiring and only available while stocks last (but will make space for the gorgeous things to come in the Spring/Summer Catalogue!) But fear not, there are Christmas-themed items in the Annual catalogue and I’ve made use of them for today’s card.

Spinner cards are fun to make and have the wow! factor, especially for children’s cards. I’ve made a few of them over the years. I don’t like the images to be upside down when they spin so I’ve previously arranged the spinner to revolve around the vertical (top to bottom) line. This time, though, it spins top to bottom.

Here’s how I made it-
