Today, I'm sharing with you some sweet treat bags and boxes I created with scraps from the Kaisercraft Glisten Collection, but again you could use any paper. At Christmas I do like to give sweet treats to friends and colleagues who have helped and supported me or my family over the year.

Hi There, It's such a busy time of year - but I finally got chance to play with Kaisercraft Glisten Collection; so elegant and lovely to use for all sorts of Christmas crafts. But you could create these 3D cards using any paper you have in your stash.

Hi all! Teresa here with a cute little matching bag and tag set using KaiserCraft's Merry and Bright range.

Hiya! Teresa here showing you a fun little decoration you can make with your Spellbinders dies.  I have used the star dies here, but just about any shape could be used.


I chose a couple of fabrics with small patterns on them and some denim for the backing.  I cut the patterned fabrics into little squares which I then roughly patchworked (don't look too closely Miss Betsy!).  I then used the largest star die to cut a star from the patchwork and one from the denim.  Obviously fabric is thicker than paper, so I ran the sandwich through the Cuttlebug back and forth a few times to make sure it cut. There were still a few areas that just wouldn't cut through, so I used my scissors to get a straight edge.


Once the shapes were cut, I sewed all the way around leaving a small gap to be able to stuff it with some hobby fill. When the stars were puffy enough, I squeezed the opening back under the sewing machine and stitched it shut.

To finish them off, I threaded some beads onto a couple of pearl head pins and glued a little white flower in place.

Hiya! Teresa here with a cute little Christmas organiser that's so easy to whip up, you could make several to give away to a group of friends.

It's essentially a little concertina book, with pockets added to hold lists and receipts. The one I made ends up being just slightly larger than a playing card, so it can fit easily inside a handbag. I used one sheet of Mint Twist jingle paper, and a couple of sheets of white A4 cardstock.

Here's the front of it, all tied up with a couple of different ribbons:

Hi there!

Hope you're enjoying the first week of our Christmas Countdown. I have a set of cards to share with you today using KaiserCraft's Just Believe range of papers. I wanted to bring you some ideas that can easily be mass-produced. I have used Spellbinder dies for the shapes and borders, but you could use punches or whatever other dies you can get your hands on.

This card shows the nested bauble dies being used to make a frame. The frame is then filled with circles that have been folded in half and glued together to make a 3-D embellishment. This embellishment folds flat for posting. The ribbon at the top is seam binding, and the button has been coloured with Copic markers to match the papers.


We'd love for you to join in the fun - why not participate in our weekly challenges? Great prizes to be won - you can read all the details here.
