With love at Christmas

Hi guys, just popping by with a card I've made, and oohh not a copic or distress ink in sight, lol

I love this  the Reindeer die so much, I cut him out of some kraft cardstock then added some Maja Design paper on the top to give him some depth, added some distresss ink on the edges, oopppss so much for saying no distress inks, lol

especially as the background is done with them too, he he

I added some liquid pearl for the dots and some Snow Tex and Gesso on the rest of the card,

The papers are again by Maja Design and too finish it off I added some paper rolled roses, brown hemp twine, rusty jingle bells and cheesecloth all from The Ribbon Girl,

Are you set for Christmas yet, I've some parcels to wrap, been meaning to wrap them for days yet life keeps getting in the way, you know the way things do, lol

I will be back with another couple of posts before the big day, make that three,  so I will see you then too,

Happy Crafting!!

A little bling

Hi guys, for this weeks theme over at Tando Creative I have chosen to alter some plastic baubles from my stash making using some of the gorgeous Tando Creative mini's,

The baubles split in half around the middle, so I took one half and of each bauble and painted the insides with white Gesso, let this dry,

When they had dried I then stippled some Snow Tex on the top of the Gesso for a textured finish,

While this was drying i took some of the mini reindeer and painted them with silver fluid paint and a then layered them up to make a scene in the bauble using some die cut trees, which have some clear gems on and yet more Snow Tex,

I also made a couple using some of the mini Snowflakes, these i again painted with the silver fluid paint and added some of the gems on, I fixed them into the bauble with strips of acetate,

I finished off my baubles with some silver twine, crystal bead string and silver coloured jingle bells all from the Ribbon Girl

Remember if you would like to join us in any of the months theme's just click on the link at the top of the blog page,
Happy Crafting!!

Fun Fun Fun

Hi guys, I'm back today with a project to show you I got asked to make for a teenager, it was to alter a box for some little gifts, the criteria being, no fuss as he will only tear it to bits anyway!!! lol

So hence it fit in perfectly with our challenge this time at Paper Take Weekly which is

Fun Fun Fun,

up to you how you interpret it too,

we are being sponsored by the Hobby House,

This is the box lid which I covered with some wrapping paper then added this cute stamped image which i coloured with my distress markers, I thought the sentiment was fab for a teenage boy too, 

I used some snow tex for the snow and liquid applique for the snow flakes,

the cones were in my stash,

Come and join us in the Fun!!! lol

I got a plain wreath from The Range and decorated it with silver ribbon and Burlap cloth cut down into strips and tied into bows, 

I made some flowers using Doo Hickeys and glittered them up with some glitter by Pin Flair which is quite chunky, i took some Styrofoam balls and painted them with white gesso then added some glitter and embossing powder on to them,

The deer are a  Tim Holtz  deer die and i cut them out of kraft card stock and then some Maja design paper, I edged them with walnut stain distress ink too,

To finish it off i used some pine cones, feathers, cinnamon sticks, hemp twine, vax cord, A Metal rusty star and a couple of different leaf die cuts,
