Santa's on his way...

I designed a few bits for Papercraft Inspiration's Issue 159 Christmas special magazine.

First up there were a set of Santa printables which can be found here. Included in this are separate pieces of Santa which can be put together or along a washing line. There are some great ideas in the mag for how to use them including a great gift bag!

Also included in the mag are some bonus papers I designed on a traditional Christmas theme. They are also available digitally here.

Lastly, the mag comes with a free set of 'Forest Magic' stamps I designed with all the main woodland animals and a winter tree scene.

Papercraft Christmas cards

Papercraft Inspirations featured two of my projects in their Issues 119 and 120 with a Christmas theme. The first was character based, modern and cute, while the second was more sophisticated, traditional and floral! If you are still in the Christmas spirit and fancy starting super early for next year, there are still free downloadable papers here on their website, and lots of great ideas in the mags!

Love Santa stamp set!

Cardmaking and Papercraft December Issue 112 is out now complete with downloadable papers I designed and a 14 piece acrylic stamp set to match! You can download and print as many copies of the papers as you like by using the code you receive in the mag. Here is a snippet of the papers below...

Last bits of Christmas...

Well another year over- hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Just thought I'd post some bits I didn't have time to post before the holidays...

These were all designed for Cross Stitch Crazy Magazine last year for their Christmas Issues which I'm afraid have been and gone already, but you can purchase back copies here or you can subscribe to the mag here.

First were a large set of Christmas characters and animals, some of which I have shown as original illustrations below. These were converted into cross stitch makes for a covergift with Issue 143. Leonie at Fireflies & Cats in the Garden was kind enough to blog about this set, and had a go at making up one of the cats- and I think she did a brill job!

Each set of characters came with a matching card making paper, tag, border and several greetings to stitch.

I also designed a 'Christmas pudding' pattern, card and stitch greeting for a card making kit which came free with the mag...
