Laura Rumble - Crafter

I've pulled out my silhouette cameo again for this weeks SpiegelMom Scraps project.  We are still working with the theme of Use Your Tools - I do plan to use other tools too but I really love my Cameo! What better than a shaker candy cane packed with festive sequins?! Happy Happy Winter fills the majority on the shaker areas with two highlighting some handmade polymer clay candy canes by the fabulous Manxy Cat Crafts . The remainder of the layout features some splatters with Shimmerz Paints Vibez in Snow Storm and some grosgrain ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. This one was a lot of fun! Thanks for looking!

Can I share a whole bunch of wrapping ideas with you?  These are what I gave last year... Bundle two presents to the same person together with cord and add a candy cane to the knot. Pair simple gold tissue with ribbon with festive designs on them - I went with owls for my Mum. For a bottle tie a couple of ribbons around the neck of the bottle adding bells to the end of the ribbon for more festive fun! For a jar again I added bells but on a wide metallic ribbon. Here I matched the pattern on the paper to the motif on the ribbon .  This is especially apt as the ribbon says 'Have a yummy Christmas' and the present is chocolate. There is of course, the standard ribbon round and a bow - it never fails! Even a gift card in an envelope can be jazzed up with ribbon and a candy cane tucked in to the knot. Or how about going over board on tiny presents such as jewellery boxes.  Use a nice wide ribbon and tie a bow bigger than the box
