John Next Door Christmas Release One

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We had a nice time. On Saturday it was my husband's birthday and with our son-in-law's he picked up our new car. This also meant that I got to spend some time with our daughter like we used to do. We even watched some trashy wedding themed telly together. When we were all back together we shared a nice meal and some birthday cake. On Sunday we had a quieter day though we did pop out to a garden centre. We just need to get our old car taken away. 

At the weekend John Lockwood aka John Next Door released part one of his Christmas selection. Here are the samples I made with the dies and stamps. 

Aren't those dies just stunning. When you use the small poinsettia die you get so many flowers. 

I do like making slimline cards. The sentiment was foiled with my Kaleido. 

The dies work well on a gift bag. 

I love these snowflakes I should have used them more. 

That mandala is so pretty and there are so many ways to cut it and arrange it. 

Here I put two of the Baroque frames together. They are ideal for ribbon. I love those corners. 

Another one with the Baroque frame. 

I think I used most things on this card. 

This is a picture heavy post. I did have fun with these dies and stamps. Foiling with the Kaleido works very well especially now I have learnt to leave the ink to dry for a long time. I have also changed my stamping platform. 

Have a great week. 

Happy crafting
