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 ๐ŸŒธ

Ho Ho Ho

Blogmas day 2: Beauty advent calenderย 

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 ยฃ40. I did feel a bit bad as it is now reduced to ยฃ25! 

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? ๐ŸŒŸ

Ho Ho Ho

Blogmas 2016: Day one ๐ŸŽ„

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 all๐ŸŽ„

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 ๐ŸŽ 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 ๐ŸŒŸ

Until next time,

Roseanne ๐Ÿ™‚
