Diy Christmas cards: Blogmas day 5

Today I thought I would show you my diy christmas cards so a word of warning to family & Friends, if you’re reading this your card may be similar to the ones featured haha.

I’ve been making cards for about 6/7 years now but I’ve had a little hiatus since making all our wedding invites! I thought Christmas was the perfect time to get back into it and I’ve really been enjoying making them again.

I popped into hobbycraft to get myself some new bits & pieces to make these with. I had all the basics and a couple of bits but I wanted to get some new things for this year.

I chose both red & green cards to make some traditional style ones as well as white ones too in order to go for a cool icy theme on some.

I chose holly, christmas tree, reindeer & polar bear embellishments and gold & silver writing that says Happy/Merry Christmas. I also got stickers to personalise some for different family members.

I also got these cute little ‘Handmade with love’stickers to add to the back of my cards to add a nice finishing touch.

Here are a few of the designs I have finished so far…

I hope you like my cards & designs!

Has this inspired you to get making?

In my beauty advent calender today…

Today I got another lipstick! Perfect for me as I just love them. This is a gorgeous bright pink colour. This would be great with a pinky make up look or to add a pop of colour. I don’t have a lipstick in this shade so again this will be a great addition to my make up collection.

Here it is on! I can’t wait to wear this, I love this shade 🌸

Ho Ho Ho

Blogmas day 2: Beauty advent calenderΒ 

Day 2 is here! As I said yesterday this is all about my Beauty advent calender. 

This is my first year of having a beauty advent calender and I’m loving it so far.

My husband kindly bought me this from Superdrug & it cost Β£40. I did feel a bit bad as it is now reduced to Β£25! 

This one is really cool as it is 25 days and has full sized products in. 

So what’s behind window no 2?

…a foundation Brush. I haven’t used a Revolution make up brush before so I’m looking forward to trying it out. 

What beauty advent calenders have you guys got this year? 🌟

Ho Ho Ho

Blogmas 2016: Day one πŸŽ„

It’s here! Blogmas 2016. So much has happened since I was last doing this but I’m thrilled to be doing it again, this is my favourite time of year after allπŸŽ„

I thought I would ease into it with some festive pictures to get you in the Christmas spirit. These are of different things I have seen popping up in shops etc over November and being the Christmas lover that I am I couldn’t not take pictures!! 

It’s also important to make you aware that at the end of each post I will include a little bit about my Beauty advent calender. I’ve never had one before but my husband kindly bought me the Make up Revolution one and I can’t wait to open the windows and share with you what I get.

Festive pics coming up…

Ahh I love it!! Christmas is the BEST.

So what did I get in my first advent calender window…

I got this gorgeous nude lipstick! I’m not usually one for Nudes, more of a pink kinda gal! but this is really lovely, especially for this season! This will be a lovely addition to my collection, my first proper nude lipstick. 

Tomorrows blogmas post will be all about advent 🎁 I’ll go into more detail about my calender, price etc.

Ho Ho Ho,

I forgot to mention…

I’ve just realised that I have completely forgotten to mention that I will be doing Blogmas again this year, and it will of course be starting tommorrow! (Yay! advent calenders at the ready) 

I already have a few ideas for some posts and have some christmassy activities booked up that I would like to share with you, but if there is anything you’d like to you see in particular let me know! 

& if not I’ll see you tomorrow for the first installment of Blogmas 2016. Excited 🌟

Until next time,
