Hello and welcome to Crafting with JaneA.

#11 Christmas crafting on a budget and it is a technique. Partial Die cutting without a die cutting machine or trimmer or craft knife. All you need is a pencil, scissors and a ruler and the stamp set of your choice.
I have used Playful Penguins as the images are simple to stamp in black with no need for colouring and they are a simple shape to cut out.
Grid paper is very useful for this technique as it allow you to line up easily and your ruler will be guided for straight lines.
We have 4 different styles of grid paper including some fun Christmas so take a look HERE
It is easier to explain this technique visually, so here is a step by step video

We are still using the one stamp set Beauty & Joy a 13 piece set for just £15 so very budget friendly. Today we have used heat embossing and some silver embossing powder and then added some pearls which I have coloured using a red alcohol marker. This is a very budget friendly way to make any coloured pearl embellishment without the expense of buying separate colours. Just use an alcohol marker to colour. I used the dark cherry cobbler blends.

Welcome to number 3 of my series on Christmas Crafting on a budget. Beauty & Joy is the stamp set we are using. 13 stamps for just £15 and this is the third of five projects using this one stamp set. When you purchase a stamp set you want it to be used for multiple projects and card ideas to get your money's worth. This is where I come in with some ideas and inspiration to make the most out of the products you buy.
I have a very large list of family and friends to make for at Christmas, from stocking filler ideas to bits that I can add to hampers and Christmas boxes and then of course there are the cards to make. So being frugal and budget conscious is very important to me. This is where the idea of this series came from as I know I am not the only one.
So todays project is tags. Now this year with everyone becoming more planet friendly and trying not to use s much glittered fancy wrapping paper, brown paper is becoming very popular. Like the song brown paper packages tied up in string.
So these tags are made using Crumb Cake and Soft Suede cardstock oh and some Very Vanilla with a fun way to give added texture to the main image using the Beauty &Joy stamp set.
There is quite a list of punches that I used. Punches are easy to use and last forever,so fall into my budget friendly.
Welcome to day 2 of my Christmas Crafting on a budget series making Christmas easy and affordable. The stamp set we are using this week is Beauty & Joy a 13 piece set for just £15
