Grab A Cup of Coffee and Join the ESAD Blog Hop

I hope you’re ready for another ESAD Christmas Blog Hop!

You may have joined from Jane Norrish's blog - wasn't her advent calendar fantastic. If you've just started with me click on the link at the bottom of my creations to move around the hop until you get back to me.  Simple!

You'll have noticed on my blog that I'm really enjoying Christmas decorations at the moment.  For this ESAD Blog Hop I wanted to see how many different decorations I could make from 2 Sheets of Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper.

Here are the two sheets I started with: - 

And after adding a bit of cardstock, some ribbon, adhesive and punches and a couple of stamps this is what I got.  Afer making all the decorations.... 

... this is what I ended up with: -

 I've just found the tutorial for this snowflake - it's not as fiddly as it looks.

  

This Cracker is an old favourite of mine - the instructions can be found here.

  

Thank you Angie for the instructions for this Kit Kat, or in my case Freddo Frog, holder.

There are versions of this decoration all over the net.  My tutorial can be found here.

Any symetrical punch can be used to create this bauble. I've used the scallop circle punch.  This one also has a number of versions all over the net.  My tutorial is here.

Another Thank You to Angie for the instructions for this triangle box.  Another box or decoration that is deceptively simple once you know how.

If I can make all of these decorations from two sheets of 12x12 Designer Series Paper with some left over, imagine what you could do with a full pack or two.  Enough for a completely themed christmas tree.

Thanks so much for visiting my contribution to the ESAD blog hop.  The next blog on the hop belongs to the very talented Bev Watt.
