Using Left Over Christmas Kit For Christmas Cards #christmascraftoff23

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀


I had lots of the RachandBella Cristmas kit left over after making 2 mini journals for my collaboration video so I decided to put them to good use and make Christmas cards.  I wanted to make them in a junk journal style. I am really pleased with how they turned out.  I hope you like them. 

The blue background paper is from RachandBella Crafts new winter kit. It is so lovely and not actually Christmas but I thought the paper went really well with the snow globes I had left over.

Vintage Christmas Tags Using Tracie Fox Freebies

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I have been having fun making Christmas tags for presents that Ed has wrapped.  I saw some lovely Freebies offered by Tracie Fox,  and thought these would make good gift tags as well as using in a journal. Some of the freebies are on her Ko-Fi and some on her website. I just loved the little penguins.

Postal Themed Clusters

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am making a postal themed journal and needed some clusters to decorate pages, pockets & tags.  I strted to make them then decided to turn on my camera and bring you alone for the ride. I am using postage themed stamps from various sets as well as postal stamps from my collection as well as elements from Tracie Fox, Love Junk Journals kit, Dispatch Despatch. I have had this kit since it came out, it has been tea stained and cut up ready to use and just waiting for me to find the time to make my journal. Well that time is now!

Trash To Treasure Ephemera Holder

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

DO you have lots of fussy cuts? I have them all over my craft room in different containers and I really wanted to have them all in one place. So after trying several different things I was just about to give up hope of finding a solution. Then I bought a stamp album from a charity shop. It is amazing and has all these pockets made from see through paper. I did look to buy another new but they were £20+ so I decided to make one! I have used a cook book I got from the charity shop (it was one we already owned so trash to us! I collected lots of cereal liners and got my huge supply of brown paper packaging. A bit of time and a bit of sewing and voila I have what I had been looking for. I love it.

Here is the flip through of the Autumn/Fall altered book I have been working on for the past few weeks. This was using the lovely Autumn kits by Rach & Bella Crafts and was my October Design Team Project. I really enjoyed making this and loved how it turned out. I am also delighted that it has gone to a good home where it is going to be loved.
