Custom Drink Coasters And Napkins
Yesterday I created a bottle wrap to dress up a Christmas table. Of course if there's drinks, there's glasses and they need coasters. So today's simple Sunday project is just that, a couple of drink coasters. CUSTOMISED DRINK COASTERS This project really is super simple.

Then I ironed the napkin on the hottest ... VIEW POST

Holly Border Tag
One of my favourite stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue is Peaceful Poinsettia. I simply love the line-art images and the large clean font used for the sentiments.

FIRST THINGS FIRST To start I needed to create the basic shape for this large gift tag from Thick Very Vanilla ... VIEW POST
