Hear the Sleigh Bells Ring?

Santa's Sleigh with his cutie pie reindeers on a great Z fold Card.
Using the same measurements from my previous Z fold card here this card came together beautifully.



The Santa's Sleigh Bundle has been very popular in my home and with my crafting buddies but I have just realised I didn't share it with the world. You will love this set - I've made some great teacher gifts with it as well.




 
 
 
Want to see more great project with this bundle or just some variety of colour check out Olga's Blog - she is in Texas whilst I'm all the way around the globe in Australia. Our Christmas weather is poles apart but our Christmas craft is similar.


So grab the measurements from HERE but tweak the colours and you will end up with these pieces. You will need that extra pieces of soft sky to fit the trees and sleigh and the extra of glimmer card and silver foil for the trees that the birthday card didn't have.
 

Then these are the score measurements the rest us placement of your bits and these can be wherever you like especially for the loaded sleigh.
 



What you will need to complete this card.

Designer Tin Of Cards - the perfect gift

With Christmas fast approaching my gift list still needs a heap of work how about yours?

What do you give someone that has all they need, asks for nothing and is always very kind and generous with your family?


I have racked my brains over this gift and now I think I'm sorted. I have purchased 30 stamps, made up the Designer Tin Of Cards Kit and added extra cards to give my friend so she can share the love a little easier in the new year.

The kit alone makes it very easy and is a lovely gift. With 16 beautiful cards and the envelopes included its also great value. The tin can be refilled over and over keeping all your cards neat and tidy till your ready to send them.

 








Don't forget to include a nice pen - my friend is getting one engraved with her name in this tin.

A little bit of Happy



#imbringingbackbirthdays is back in this house with my Stamp Club.

It was a classic case of 2 birds one stone with this card as Miss 17 needed a card for her friends birthday and I needed a Stamp Club project with the brief  'No Christmas Please'.

Searching online for Z-Fold cards and Double Z-Fold cards and there were some that were amazing and this one captured my eye. Sabine Beck from Germany created a balloon party card that I really liked, her blog is in German and she has some great ideas and designs. Another great sample can be found with one of my favourites Dawn and she even has a quick Video.





This Card really needs that all round view doesn't it?
Here's some more photos - My dear daughter needed to add a cash holder as that's what her friend was collecting this birthday.





so the process of adding the cash holder started with the Big Shot and the Gift Card Envelope and Trims Thinlits. Using the card as inspiration this came together very quickly.






So thanks for stopping by, hope you have liked this card as much as I did making it. My Stamp Club loved it and one of the ladies was very new.

Dawns post that's tagged above has some measurements but these were mine for the basic structure of the card. The gift card or in this case cash holder used half a sheet of Whisper White, ink and a couple of extra Baloons.
