Here is a video to show you how they are put together.
But don’t just think of them as stars sitting on the shelf. There are so many other beautiful ways to create them. Check out this gorgeous display.
Here is a video to show you how to use this kit in other different ways.

We have another project in our 12 Weeks of Christmas series today. This project is brought to you by Narelle. Check this project out for your Christmas entertaining. This is a lovely Table Setting.
This table setting consists of a cutlery bag, a bonbon and a name place card. I think these would really dress up your Christmas table and make it something special.
Here are some photos of the individual items and also some videos showing how to make the key components. For full instructions and a complete list of supplies, please email me for a detailed pdf.
CUTLERY BAG
I just love this Cutlery Bag. I know you could just put the cutlery on the table next to the plates, but that would be boring, right ? Making this bag gives you a reason to create and show off a little to your guests. I am sure they will be appreciative of the effort you went to and the table will look so festive and special.
Here are a couple of videos showing you how to make the rosettes.
BON BON
Bon Bons are a fun thing to have at Christmas time aren’t they?? The cute hat and funny jokes and the little novelty inside. But once they are pulled apart they are thrown away. With these Bon Bons not only are they a lot of fun but they will look pretty having them on the table. The bonus of these is that you can fill them with wrapped chocolates or something as an extra treat, and the guests get to keep them as a memento of a wonderful gathering with family and friends.
Here is a video how you can make them.
NAME PLACE CARD
Can you see this on your Christmas Table this year?? It would make all your guests feel pretty special.
The full materials you need for these projects are in the PDF that I can send you but here is some special products put together for the Bundle this week.

Yesterday we went to a wedding for a work colleague of Glenn’s. It’s always interesting when you don’t even know the bride and groom!! It was a lovely wedding though. The wedding invitation was in a Crumb Cake colour with black swirls. I knew for the wedding card I wanted to replicate this. The stamp set ‘Everything Eleanor’ was dusted off. I have hardly used this set but it was one I loved when it first came out. Here is the card.
It is hard to tell in the photo but I Heat Embossed the swirl, the flower and the greeting so it had a nice shine to it. The greeting is from ‘Petite Pairs’ and punched with the large oval punch. I used the Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon (retired) and some pearls to finish it off. I thought it would be a bit heavy to have a Black card base so I matted the stamped piece in black cardstock and layered it on a crumb cake base.
I think the Bride and Groom will like it???
Have a good week this week. I hope it is a creative week for you. 🙂
It’s Thursday and today I bring you the second week of our “12 Weeks of Christmas”.Today it is Virginia’s turn to bring you the project that I am sharing. Check this out!
It is a cute little Christmas Village scene in a Card in a Box. How sweet is it??? These are great too as they fold flat to fit in a standard size envelope.
Virginia has used Basic Black and Very Vanilla A4 cardstock. The Designer Series Paper used is the ‘Typeset’ pack from the Annual Catalogue. The cute houses are from the set ‘Holiday Home’ from the Holiday Catalogue. They have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Blendabilities. The gold stars have been punched from Gold Glimmer Paper and some have been ‘suspended’ by gluing them to strips of the Window Sheet. The Christmas trees are from the same Holiday Home stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow while the brown trees were double stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and Crumb Cake inks. Virginia added some accents on the trees by dabbing on Versamark ink and sprinkling Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat setting with a heat gun. Here is a close-up so you can see them.
You can create any scene in these little “Card in a Box” type cards.

I made this card a few weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shown you. I think I shared it on my Facebook page but forgot here. SO, here it is! This is one of the first cards I made using the Snowflake Thinlets from the Holiday Catalogue.
These cards are a bit hard to photograph but I hope you get the idea. I extended the card so it has a little fold out flap. On this flap I adhered some Gold Vellum and a strip of the Gold Foil Sheet. I cut the snowflakes and the joy word out from Gold Foil sheet also and adhered them on the card. I stamped the snowflakes from the set ‘Cheerful Tags’ over the Blackberry Bliss card. I think they co-ordinate so well with this Thinlet. I finished it off with a Gold Twine bow on the front snowflake. Hope you like???

Yesterday I showed you the projects I made for the Stamp-A-Latte Blog Hop using the Snowflake Thinlets. If you missed it just head back to the post before. I didn’t have time in that post to show you how I made the Tag Box so I thought I would show you that today.
Here is the cute box to show you again.
Here is inside the box showing the tags I made too. The green strip of DSP from the Nordic Noel DSP is not a Belly Band. I just added it to the top of the acetate and adhered the ends inside the lid.
You can decorate this however you want to. The finished size is 9cm x 9cm x 2cm (3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3/4″). But how did I make it?? Here is the Tutorial for you.
TAG BOX
For the Base
NB: If you intend to stamp your box then do so before you assemble the box!!
Cut your card to 13cm x 13cm ( 5 1/8″ x 5 1/8″). Score on each side at 2cm (3/4″).
Fold on all score lines and cut up the 2 tabs on one side and again on the opposite side.
Place adhesive on the small tabs and assemble the box.
For the Lid
Cut your Acetate to 13.4cm x 13.4cm (5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″) and score at 2.2cm (7/8″).
Fold on all the score lines. You may want to use the Bone Folder to burnish (press down) the score lines more.
Cut up on the 2 tabs on one side and then again on the opposite side. Place adhesive on the tabs and adhere together. I used Fast Fuse or you could use Sticky Strip.
This lid is a little snug. You just need to jiggle it in but it works fine.
Decorate your box as you like. I lined the base of this box. The paper size I used was 8.5cm x 8.5cm (3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″).
These fit the tags in just nicely. The tags are punched with the 1 3/4″ circle punch.
Don’t just think of them for tags though. Why not add some chocolates???
