Christmas Gift...

                         The 12 days of Christmas Gift Kit
                                is now exclusively available from etsy.com/shop/inkshed

Create a charming gift for your family or
a special someone this Christmas...

Your kit contains speciality printed card templates

(printed on a shimmering pearlescent cream and a foil board)

and comes with illustrated instructions, baker's twine

and 12 x mini envelopes (pre-cut and scored)

Find a couple of twigs for a rustic finish and have a craft knife,

scissors and adhesive readily to hand...then the festive fun begins...

Add a message inside each mini envelope and fix to the back of each heart base.

(This could be an activity, a voucher, a day out, a promise...

or 12 reasons why you love that special someone!) 

Have fun with it and create a unique gift that keeps on giving

for the 12 days of Christmas...

...Colouring in areas with pastels gives a great effect to your card toppers
(and is a perfect alternate option to cutting out).

Mark around the edges of your design with pastel and blend
with a cotton bud to add subtle shading.

Add a finishing touch of sparkle with some shimmer chalk.

These customised individual card kits complete with
embellishments are available this Saturday:

...your doodles can be the smallest detail to add a splash
of colour. Simple bud shapes embellished with a tiny gem
give an effective and elegant finish.

It's also perfect for adding the centre to a paper flower.

{Add a dot of glitter glue for a dew-like shimmer}

Take inspiration from the colours and the patterns
on the topper design. Use dots, spots and lines to create cute
pompom embellishments along branches
or to add extra detail to the bunting.

{Why not add a glistening finish to the design with a dab of
glitter glue or a cotton soft touch with some flock powder}

...perfect card for a baby shower!

How to: {doodle}

{doodle 3}

Draw or paint simple shapes onto your topper to create
fresh little buds and leaves. Fill them in with your preferred
blendable medium to add shading to your doodles.

We've used watercolour brush markers here but pastels
give great results too - remember to set your finished piece
with some hair spray if using a chalky medium.

{Why not go all out and add some stitching too
either by hand or machine}
