Christmas Crafting

It is that time of year again when I absolutely love to get my craft on and do all things christmassy! I decided to make my own christmas cards again this year and took my inspiration from Pinterest (my absolute favourite website at the moment!!) 

This year I decided to go with a 3D Christmas Tree design using twigs and ribbon and a gold glittery deer head design. I knew I was going to need a lot of ribbon and a lot of glitter but I didn't want to spend a fortune so I was advised to head to The Range, somewhere I had never thought to shop before, and it was crafting heaven. I did end up spending quite a bit but I got so much stuff so it was worth it. Plus I have really enjoyed spending my evenings chilling out and making my cards. 

I feel really proud of my cards this year and I hope the people I am sending them too enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them!

DIY Christmas Cards

I saw this idea for Christmas cards on pinterest and I thought they were so cute I had to make them! You could also do this for present gift tags as it might be a little late to send out Christmas cards now. 

Here is what you will need:

 

Card

Envelopes

Super glue

A Pen

Buttons

Ribbon

To make the wreath card, I first set out the buttons into the shape and design I wanted.

I then glued down the buttons in place with super glue.

 

 Next I tied a bow out of some ribbon

 Finally I stuck the bow to the button at the top of the wreath, and that is it. It is so easy and looks so effective! 

You do exactly the same for the baubles card except after you have stuck the buttons down you use the pen to draw strings from the top of the card to the button. You can then write whatever message you want on the cards, I opted for Merry Christmas on this one.
