More crackers using the tonic cracker die with the snowman and snow dog dies from crafters companion, the background paper on the cracker is from the snowman and snow dog cd rom from crafters companion. I have used double sided tape on the edges and covered them in glitter

Made some crackers tonight using the tonic cracker die, have actually put gifts in them also.Made the box using the ultimate pro, insetting some acetate in the lid.

This is a card I have made which will be on its way to Australia soon, the main die is spell binders and the pocket watch die is Robert Adams it is lovely to use an I have used glass beads in abundance on this card.

This is Hunkydory window to the heart, heartfelt season could not resist this kit so lovely to make up the I could go mad with my embellishments 

Since taking this photo I have straightened the word topper lol, my sister Carolyn Mckay is a very talented lady with her knitting and crocheting (she takes after our mum) so she made the mittens I think they look lovely, the backing card is from an M.C.S cd rom and the teddy topper is tatty teddy

More from Hunkydory the pull out section has a verse on the other side, they also came with their own boxes I went mad again with the embellishment, just thinks it makes them more individual.

This is my sisters crocheting, we made them so the snowflake (or star) is removable and becomes a decoration I sprayed them with starch and added some pearls they are lovely.

sorry I have not blogged lately am busy doing Christmas crafts but I will post really soon to show what I have done

This is for the October card swap on the MCS forum, Autumn being the theme this month. The main card is from an MCS cd rom, I used a pre cut stepper card blank the lettering and background paper and ribbon are from my crafty stash, their origin being lost in the mists of time lol I have also used a craft glaze to highlight the web around the figure and on the leaves as dew but it doesn't show up well at all in the photo.

This I gave to my Sister yesterday for her Birthday, this is the new tonic verso dies with matching punch really nice to work with. The lettering I foiled with my letraset foiling machine works really well.

I used clear embossing powder to highlight the text

I added the text onto the insert background then printed it out on vellum

I used some cosmic shimmer glue to add the dots to his bow

another cosmic shimmer glue made the pink pearls on this card I also used double sided tape on the border then added glitter

This interior is actually printed onto the inside of the card

I added this picture to show how you can add your handmade stamp via the MCS programme
I made these two cards as samples for MCS 6th Anniversary 10cd set which was released today 11/10/13 lovely artwork never tire of using them
