Papercraft Artistry: Global Stamping Friends

It's hard to believe that it is the start of November. I do wonder where the year goes sometimes and goodness before you know it, Christmas will be here.

So welcome to the 3rd bloghop of Global Stamping Friends- this hop will focus on Festive Projects, it may be Christmas or it may be another Festive occasion.

I hope that you have time to hop through all the blogs, so grab a cup of coffee or wine, depending where you are, and enjoy all the wonderful projects that you will see.

My project uses the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and matching bundle- an absolutely amazingly festive set. I do apologise for the photo quality as our camera has gone on the blink and my phone doesn't like night time photos- but hope you get the gist!

When I first saw this set I thought it would make great cards, but then I saw a fellow demo had made a 3D project with it and I fell in love again. Thanks Tracy!

Imagine this at your Christmas day place settings, either filled with a few sweeties or even notes of thanks/kind wishes, wouldn't it look fantastic? A note of warning however if you are using sweeties, they need to be not too heavy as the sleigh runners are delicate, or use a heavier card, such as Stampin'Up! kraft card to make sure it withholds the weight. I also thought it would make a great way to present a special piece of jewellery to someone - I'm sure few engagements happen over the festive season!

The set includes lots of decorative pieces and I love this little wreath and bow.

Adds a little bit extra to Santa's sleigh I think.

Hope you like this little 3D festive project and if you'd like to know how I made it just like my Facebook page and I'll post the directions soon!
