About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Twas the Night Before Christmas.......

Afternoon, me lovelies……..hope your doing well :o) 

As promised I am back with a card…..but not my usual image, I must say!  I was having a dig about in my stamp boxes and I found some old Clarity Stamps……..Twas the night before Christmas, ………there are 4 stamps in total, but you buy them separately……..I have had them years and years.

The style of card is a criss cross card, so the middle pulls out for you to write your message on. 

The papers are from my local crafts shop….there is no name on them, but I would love to know who makes them….they are double sided, and have a linen texture to them……so nice….I have a feeling them are from a pack of papers, hence no name on them…..but the women in the shop didn’t know :o(….so if anyone does I would be so grateful to know :o)

The gorgeous sparkly glitter ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft, the red berries are from Hobbycraft.  The white pearl spray was from my local craft shop.  The border punch is by Martha Stewart and the hinge die cut…is actually one of the arms off the vintage clock die by Tim Holtz…..I used it too for the little pull things at the top, just folded it in half :o)


The stamp in the inside is by Clarity Stamps too, and can be found HERE……..I thought it worked perfectly with the image on the front :o)

Well that is all from me today, thanks to everyone for your orders for the Lip Balm Cosies from yesterdays post HERE ………much appreciated :o)

Anyway have a great day….we actually have some sunshine today :o)

Hugs Tab xxx
