Lanterns
Every year I use some of the new dies we have in to produce lanterns. The bauble and star background worked well on a 5x7 face and the leaf used for autumn was used in the normal cube box that I do. This can also be done as a tissue box. I used an assortment of decorations for each face this time so that individuals can choose what type of box they want - everyday or Christmas.

Boxed and Book cards
Although we have done similar cards before this time I used a frame from the John Next Door collection.
This die come with layered dies to form scenes - these are the smaller images. I also looked at using the frame with strip dies from previous years.
The scenes can be built up in a concertina box or leave one side loose so you get a book effect.

Stamped baubles and mittens
Here I have stamped onto die cut bauble shapes, used a bauble stencil and also used a bauble media plate to create the bauble in which I stamped.
I then looked at using woodware new stamps - cosy birds and mittens
and for a closer look at mittens

Embossing Folders
These 3D embossing folders are from creative expressions again. With the bells I used the stencils that go with the folder for colouring - again trying out different products but the others were coloured from embossed image. I have coloured the folder first in some instances. In other cases I used inked card and then sanded the colour off after embossing.
Spot the differences on the 2 pictures - 3 have been varied from original although the white embossed image doesn't show up well here.

Pop Up Cards
For these I have been making my own templates so that I can get a variety of steps. You will have seen one with the boy and girl on my last post but here are some others.
Two of them feature creative expressions die sets but the middle one was just using anything I had already cut in my stash.
