Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Thi, and the DT have made :-)




Cross Stitch used to be a hobby of mine so it was lovely to pick up a needle and Embroidery Floss again and make these tags!! I have to say, I love them and will definitely be making more of these! 


I used the partial die cut technique, ie, hang the lower edge of the die over the edges of the cutting plates and then moved it down a bit to elongate the tags. 

I actually bought several lip balms, there are 10 pouches in the pack so I fully intented to use them all. However, I now know that not all lip balms fit into these pouches! I have a bag full of Nivea to prove it ;-) My advice would be to take a pouch with you to the store and check to see if they will fit,  these are Blisteeze and they are a perfect fit. To make them look a little more festive I wrapped them in scraps of Christmas paper  ;-) 

I am going to make up 'Pamper Hampers' with lotions and potions and used these to decorate the baskets for my family and friends, I am so excited!!! I am sure they will love them!! 



So now it's YOUR turn to get out your crafty supplies and join in!!

I was sent a few samples to play with and I just LOVE this super cute  Big Picture Book Jack Russel Die Set 


Look at that face! Lets call her Lucy today, she has just smelled the birthday cake and has popped her head up over the top of the table!! haha

I coloured with Ciopic markers and added some white gel pen for highlights
