Christmas gifts

I have seen a few of these on blogs and thought I would give it a go. I added soft magic and liquid pearls to the cake then added flowers

Inside of box

I thne made a box and a swiss roll flannel cake, I am not happy with the lid as it jammed in so altered the size for the other one but have run out of time to redo this one

Birthday shaker card

I have made another shaker card for my Niece's birthday. You can't really tell from the photo but I coloured Tilda with distress inks then added glitter after sticking the frame together with foam pads. The letters are made from my new scrabble letters

This is the inside of the card

Socks reunited

I saw this idea on MSE a couple of years ago but I forget the link the original idea came from. I cut out some chipboard, painted it then added papers. The sock are made of wood and I cut around the paper and glued them onto the pegs. The words are stamped out on paper. I am going to make one for myself after I have gotten through my Christmas makes

Food Gifts

I have decided to have the majority of gifts I give this Christmas homemade, this is chilli jam curtesy of recipe from Nigella

This is mixed tomato chutney Nigel Slater recipe after I had a load of green tomatoes to use up

This is from bbc good food site, I saw something similar to this in one of those posh farm shops selling for £12.95!!

Apple box

I made this cute apple box tutorial here I made a strip from red card about an inch wide to which I am going to add some gingerbread men from M&S. I hand drew the apple then added card. The gingerbread men are some wooden cuts and I added liquid pearls to. The sentiment is Magnolia, I quite like how it turned out
