Woodland Deer

Hello sharing a card and a tag today using the lovely Woodland Deer die

which can be found here. 

I went for a vintage look using papers from my stash, distress inks,

Sentiments 2 and the Ivy die.

Couldn't resist making a tag!!

Enjoy your Saturday back tomorrow with an Elliott's Angels project. 

Take care xx

Mannequin

Hello this weekend I took the opportunity to craft and to sort through a chest which I use to keep some of my crafty bits and pieces. Whilst looking through the chest I found a mannequin I had bought sometime ago with the idea of having a go at Decopatch. As you can see from the picture I changed my mind!!  

I decided instead to cover the mannequin in some yarns I found in my ribbon collection. I carefully wound the threads around the mannequin sticking them in place with Cosmic Shimmer Glue (which can be found here). This glue dries clear and quickly so was ideal for this project.

The mannequin is now sitting on a table in my bedroom it looks very much at home!!

Take care - back soon xx

Edwardian Door

Hello a card to share today - the story The Secret Garden inspired me to make this card, having seen a copy recently with a lovely picture on the front cover. Using the Edwardian Door die I created a "forgotten door" covered in pretty foliage. Hope it doesn't look too messy!!

Ingredients used:

Edwardian Door die, Flower from Homespun die set

Flourishes from Jewel Flowers & Flourishes die set

Distress inks, papers from stash, 3D foam pads

Yesterday I spent far too long playing with the new Woodland Deer die which you can find here will be sharing projects soon. It has overtaken the Poinsettia die in my list of favourites (I didn't think that was possible!!). All of the Woodland collection looks amazing I will have to add them to my Christmas list!

Having lunch with a friend today as it is half term a whole week off to enjoy. Back soon take care xx

Elliott's Angels Project

Hello today I am sharing another Elliott's Angels Project using the Joy Strip die. This time I have choosen to make a "shabby chic" Christmas card.

With the Joy Strip die I couldn't resist using the Poinsettia die it is well used at this time of year!!

Ingredients used:

Spellbinders Joy Strip die, Spellbinders Poinsettia die

Distress inks, lace, ric rac and papers from stash

Kraft card 13.5 x 13.5 cm

This is a quick and simple card so just right for batch card making and is good for using up all those bits from that stash of papers and ribbons - which we all have!! Hope you like it.

I am loving being an Elliott's Angel and sharing my simple ideas using Spellbinders. I must say a big thank you for all the lovely comments which have been left on Elliott's blog I really appreciate them.

Elliott's Angels Project

Hello today I am sharing another Elliott's Angels project this time using Spellbinders Joy Strip die. I have used the die to make a very simple decorative strip for a candle (flameless!).

Have a look at http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk for more details.

For this project I cut and embossed some cream card and inked through the die to give it some colour. It looks very effective when the candle is flickering - you can find this die here.

Ingredients used:

Joy Strip die

Cream card, Memento Ink (Rhubarb Stalk),

Adirondack Ink (Lettuce), double-sided tape

Will be back soon with more to share xx
