More Elizabeth Shaw Mint Fripperies

What am I like? I thought I had done with making Elizabeth Shaw Mint fripperies for this year, and then I go and find another box tucked in amongst my other Christmas bits and pieces, so I apologise for posting the idea again, but you never know who might pop by my blog, who has never seen them before.

This time I decided to try and finally use up all the foam on card and plastic embellishment stickers I’ve been working my way through for the past couple of years bought from Flying Tiger and Lidl.

They are quite a bit bigger and thicker than the stickers I have tended to use in the past, but I think they still work, and the colours are so bright and cheerful along side the red and green punched plain and scalloped circles …..

…… and, I never fail to be amazed just how a little bit of faux stitching and a few dots using white gel pen can make an idea pop!

With twenty three mints in a box, I worked my way through forty six sides in just over an hour.

This set is destined to grace Marc and Rick’s festive table, it’s become quite a tradition now for me to send over a little parcel of these.  Marc had managed to save most of the front and backs from all the sets I have made him over the years, but last year there was an unfortunate accident with the dogs …….. so he needs to erm ….. start all over again!
