Christmas with Belle & Boo


The popular and so adorable characters Belle and Boo are making a return in Trimcraft's 2015 Christmas collection. And I could not resist to have a good play with the new products, which I combined with some of the brand-new Dovecraft Christmas Basics products, while watching today's rugby matches.

For the first card that features Belle and a reindeer I have created a faux embossed effect with the fabulous Dovecraft Christmas Basics snowflake dies. I love especially the corner die from this set. And I think I need to organise more of the Dovecraft Christmas Basics A4 cardstock that I used for this project. The card in this multipack comes in kraft, white, red, green and a dark burgundy tone and is so nice and smooth and lovely for die-cutting and embossing.


Christmas cards do not always need to be relatively large and time-consuming. Making a Belle & Boo mini card with the new Dovecraft Christmas Basics A7 cards and envelopes was fun, effortless and so quick. And that is just brilliant for those of us, who need to make a significant number of Christmas cards.



The final card for today is again based on a 6" x 6" card blank, which I used as tent-fold card. Most elements on this card are coming from the Belle & Boo decoupage pad.

I have again prepared product lists and step-by-step instructions for all three cards. Just click onto the titles below the images and you will be taken through straight to the relevant pages in my Trimcraft gallery.

Dovecraft Serendipity


In this blog post I would like to share three cards wih you that I created with the new Dovecraft Serendipity collection by Trimcraft. The products are great for brightening up the now much cooler, wetter and duller days (although it was still getting pretty warm when I cut the grass today).


The Rugby World Cup was a good excuse for some quality crafting time at home. The creative juices were flowing while I was watching some of the games, but I found it impossible to drag myself away from the TV to write up the instructions ...

If you like my creations, you can find product lists and step-by-step instructions in my Trimcraft gallery.

First Edition Paper Flowers


Today I would like to share a card with you that I created around the beuatiful papers from the First Edition Paper Flowers pads. Dies and stamps from Trimcraft's Santoro collections in combination with First Edition markers seemed to be a good addition.

A product list and step-by-step instructions for this card are - as usual - in my Trimcraft gallery.
