Hi Everyone, today I have a bauble, box and a card I made for the youngest member of our family, Iris. It's her first Christmas. I have made one for each of her siblings in the past, mostly to remind them that they have part Welsh blood, their Grandmother, my niece, is Welsh, the children's parents are English and Scots.
I added the reindeer and the sentiment to the front shape for the card, then print and cut the shape. The gold mirror card was also cut into the same shape and layered under the reindeer layer. I had some bows in a little box, that had been cut a long time ago. I decided to add them to match the bow on the reindeer antler. The box was cut. Then paper was cut to size and added.
this shows the shape added, holding the bauble in place
How very pretty this is Faith and so nice that the little ones have all had one.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant baubles in a beautiful box, Faith and a sweet card. I love reindeer.

What a beautiful gift and so wonderful to have a reminder of her heritage. I make a Christmas tree decoration for my grandchildren every year and put their name and year on it. Sometimes I wish I hadn't started it because as the years go by it is becoming more of a chore! xx
