Gift boxes

Here are some gift boxes I made from Kaisercraft patterned paper. I also  made the bows . They are fun to make.

Santas

 Santa in Australia. I think he will be hot here as we have a hot summer and Christmas .

This shows some of my Santas. 

I painted the welcome Santa. 

A close up of my welcome Santa I painted in 1998 circa. I always think of my mother when I look at it as she was in hospital suffering a mini stroke and my way of dealing with this was to paint this Santa. She survived the stroke but died in 2002 from cancer.

Christmas tree

 My first Christmas in my new home and this is my Christmas tree up and waiting for presents. I have lots of hand made decorations on it.

Christmas Bow

This Christmas bow is made from Kaisercraft paper with a gem in the middle. I have backed it with chipboard to make it sturdy to hang on the tree or sit on the table without blowing away.

Christmas trees

These 2 Christmas trees were made from cardstock and patterned paper. I used the sizzix machine to cut the stars and I have punched shapes and used Kaisercraft bling. The stars are held in place using a long wooden skewer poked down the centre. A double star hides the wood. Kindly Glitz adds sparkle to the trees.

Merry Christmas Banner

I made this bunting using Basic Grey patterned paper, Kaisercraft cardstock, SALT chipboard letters, Kaisercraft bling, handmade paper bows and ric rac. I designed the triangles myself. The tops have punched borders. The glue I used was Gel Medium.

Desk Calendar

This desk calendar was made using chipboard and patterned paper. I love the new Kaisercraft Christmas stamps. The verse on the back is one of the stamps from the Kaisercraft range.
