Ginger Girl Candy Bar Wrapper

I made this Ginger Girl from my Gingerbread face that I posted earlier on and I like the way she looks. :-)
This wrapper fits the large 6.8 oz Hershey Bars. If anyone likes this and would like to use it, feel free to do so. Just click on the preview and it will go to the full size wrapper where you can right click and save a copy to your computer. Print it out and wrap it around a Hershey Bar for nice little Christmas gift.

Edited: Original wrapper removed and replaced with two different wrappers.

Easy Christmas Coasters

Coasters cannot be much easier than this to make. I used some Christmas plaid print and felt.
The plaid actually has a little gold thread running through but it shows in the photo as a tan color.

To make these, decide what size you want to make them and use something round, such as another coaster to draw your circle pattern on card stock. Cut it out and you have your pattern. I used a thin line felt marker and cut the circle just inside the marker line with pinking shears.

For each coaster, cut one circle from the Christmas fabric and one circle from felt. Use co-ordinating or matching thread and hand stitch them together. I added a small button but you could leave them plain or add any other little festive decoration you like. Just add it where your stitch ends and close enough to the edge so it will not interfere with sitting your cup or glass on the coaster. Click on photos to enlarge.

Another Altered Vintage Christmas Graphic

I've decided I like doing this. I like a challenge and this definitely is challenging.  Here is the before and after my editing of this copyright free vintage Christmas art.

Vintage Christmas Card

I love all vintage graphics. I have a collection of copyright free vintage graphics and many are Christmas themed. I decided to see just how good I could clean some of them up and make some vintage cards and maybe some other paper crafts from them. Here I'm showing 3 stages of this pretty card. I believe it to be from a post card but I'm not positive.

I use Microsoft's Digital Image Suite 2006 graphic software for my graphic editing.

As always, Click on the pictures to enlarge and get a better view.

The first picture is the original stage, before any changes.



This second one is cleaned up down to the columns in the background.



I decided to go a little further and remove the columns, cleaned it up a bit more. After all that, I decided to cut the graphic away from the background, and add another background using a filter for texture. I chose the burlap filter. I also added a thin border filling it in with a gold gradient color. I added new text and the result is a beautiful card front!
Feel free to grab a copy if you can use it.
