Pink Christmas

Hi guys, back again with my project for inspiration Friday over at La-la-land crafts, which this time is pink Christmas, this is my last creation as GDT,

thank you girls so much,

I've made this for Tegan and I just couldn't resist using Santa Marci for it, 

I made the bed frame from an old tablets packet which I covered with plain copy paper which I had inked with spun sugar distress ink, the cover and pillow where made using the ornate snowflake die which i cut out a few times again in copy paper, fixed on randomly using a removable glue then stippled over the top of the snowflakes first in spun sugar then Victorian Velvet ink, the Headboard is made using the gorgeous Heart doily border which I fixed to the top and made a couple of bed side units out of card stock,

The lamp on top I made using a bear charm which I glued onto an altered Tim Holtz Gem clip,

the other side is using a clock charm from my crafty heart,

The walls of the bedroom have a LLLC flag banner die on with a fab Noor alphabet die on to say her name all links below, below that is a petite resin fram again from My Crafty heart, the paper picture was from the Winter wonderland pad,

the window was made using a  die which I added a little bronze wax too to give an aged look and behind it added a pice of vellum onto which i stamped a Father Christmas sleigh stamp I've had for years,

The tree is made sing a LLLC Christmas tree die cut lots of times in copy paper then I added distress inks to the edges, stuck them together to form a £D tree and faffed with a few of the branches to look more shabby chic,

to fish it off I added a doily for a mat and a fab LLLC filigree corner die too,

I hope she likes it lol,

A stitch in time

Hi guys, I'm here today with a card I've done using some gorgeous Joy crafts producta and some fabulous Doobadoo products too,

I've tried something a little different in style to the ones I've been making lately, to be honest more me as I love to embellish but I've been so busy moving my craft stuff I just had to make do lol,

I coloured my Tilda with distress re-inkers and fussy cut her out, after shaping her with my shaping tool I fixed her inside the gorgeous Joy crafts oval die 6002/0258,

The gorgeous birdcage die is another new joy crafts die and I love it 6003/0034 this is on top of the fabulous Dutch Doobadoo Honeycomb soft board which I left in it's original colour but I just used vintage photo distress ink on the edges, this is great as you just trim to what ever size you want, as seen on  bottom right edge too,

The flowers are from stash and I've layered them with some of the gorgeous Doobadoo leaves which I have again edged with vintage photo distress ink,

Winter village scene

Hi guys, just popping on with a Christmas decoration I managed to make before my craft stash move lol,

I have made this for a table decoration and the base is a Go Kreate die,

the houses are made using a fab Dees Distinctively winter cottage die which i have cut out of a couple of times withdifferent coloured card stock so the roofs and windows etc show up, these have then been covered with lots of snow tex for texture,

Tilda with tree is coloured with my copics then fussy cut out and layered onto acetate to make her stand up then stuck down with pin flair glue,

the Magnolia  fence stamp, (sorry i can't find what it's called) I stamped out, coloured it then fussy cut out the shapes with my craft knife, bent the bottom section forward with the cobble stones to make a path for her then layered the back with acetate to again make it stand up, to finish if off I added some glitter glue,

the snow at her feet is large chunky glitter flakes which i bought last year but it has no name on!

To make this a village scene I also used  a Doo Hickey spruce tree die a few times and a sissix tree die too and again these have been given the snow tex treatment,

I've also used some fabby Doobadoo  paper art lamp posts which i have added a little frantage too, this helps to support them too, I have also used a Noor Joy crafts grass die in front and behind my fence,

For my village scene at night I've used the fab memory box night sky border which again I have used acetate to hold up on either end and added a tea light behind one of the houses for a winter warm glow and to look like some one is home, ( cooking the turkey maybe lol )

Magnolia berries and other flowers finish it off,

something old something new

Hi guys, the lovely Chantal over at Time for Magnolia challenge asked me if I wanted to GDT for challenge #35, of course I said yes!! anyway the challenge is to use a Magnolia stamp that is at least 12 months old and a new one too,

As you can see I used a few more lol, the house is a birdhouse that I have painted with white acrylic paint first,

I then used a Magnolia Doo Hickey lace die for the roof edges at the front, the circle window at the top I filled round with a McGill pine branch punch and I layered them and added a mini Holding Tilda from an older collection,

All my images where coloured with my distress re-inkers,

at the front of the house below the following images were used,

The day before Christmas Edwin - Winter Wonderland collection (new)

In the snow ski Tilda - Winter Wonderland collection (new)

Show the way Rudolf - Winter Wonderland collection ( new)

Older collections

Joyful Tilda

I also used some of the Doobadoo paper art trees 472.948.012and the Joy crafts grass die 6002/0137 to finish the scene off,

The snowballs are made using liquid applique again!!!! lol

the poinsettia is a Magnolia  Doo Hickey die,

At one side of the house I used Pixie Tilda from an older collection too, I cut out A Doo Hickey spruce tree three times and layered them onto each other to give the tree depth,

The roof I made using another Doo Hickey die and paper from the MME vintage Christmas paper pad, you can just see the last strip in the picture,

This is the other side where I used a die cut sleigh, added some twine threaded with a couple of jingle bells and two more Doo Hickey trees leaving these flat to look more like they are in the background!

Front view again lol,
