Christmas Robin

A lovely robin picture always makes a beautiful Christmas card.

This image is from the Walk in the Countryside CD-Rom from Creative Crafting World.  As the picture is so detailed I didn't really have to do much.  I used a gold mirricard mat and a greeting cut from the Tattered Lace Christmas Sentiments.

More gift boxes

I've made some more gift boxes from the same CD-Roms used in my previous blog.  This time they are more a packet/pouch type.  I've added a ribbon cord to secure the packet and the gift tag is cut from a corresponding backing paper.

After making these I decided that a smaller size would be good, but how do I do it?  I played with my printer settings and found that if I put multiple items on a page (in this case 2) I could print them at half size.

These are so cute.

Octagonal gift boxes

I've been busy making gift boxes for Christmas.

These octagonal boxes were printed from two CD-Roms, A Walk in the Countryside and A Winter Walk in the Countryside, from Creative Crafting World.  The images are by an artist called Betty Davis and are absolutely stunning.

All I had to do was print them, cut them out, glue the pieces together and finish with a bow and handmade poinsettia (from Britannia die).
