I had been asked by the local Anglican Guild to host a Craft night with one of my close friends. She was decorating cakes, and I was helping the ladies to make the above card. This is the first time that I have done a demonstration, and it took a lot of preparation, especially as my ladies ranged in age from late sixties to one lovely lady who is 92!!
I decided to approach the task by making a card that could have everything pre-stamped and cut out, so that all they had to do was assemble it. Although I have to say this was easier said than done.

Having cut out all my paper for the cards, I was left with a lot of off-cuts. I thought it might be a nice idea to decorate the table where I was displaying my hand made cards.
I decided to have a go at making some crackers using my envelope board. These were filled with chocolates, and the tag from the Christmas Collectibles stamp set was attached.

With other off-cuts I made up some sets of gift tags, and bags to hold chocolate coins. My Bird and Owl punches came in very handy!
It was a fun night, with all the ladies enjoying both activities. Strangely enough the Gift Tags and Reindeer bags were an after thought, but these proved very popular.
