Snow dome

Hello, and welcome!

I’ve been blogging regularly for a few years now – both here and on my earlier blog – and at this time of year, I get to thinking about how to use my craft supplies in festive decorations.

Usually it’s a bauble for the tree (and I had lots of ideas for this year, but I’m running out of time because there were so many other projects I wanted to show you first!). This time it’s a snow dome- well, sort of. Can you see what it’s made of? That’s right, it’s a disposable wine glass!

Here’s how I made it –

I didn’t include any loose “snow”, but it would have been easy to add a spoonful before I sealed the base.

Since making this, I’ve thought that one of these domes would look lovely with an artificial rose inside (inspired by Beauty and the Beast!) I have a ribbon rose that I made for another project but wound up not using and it would be perfect for this.

So that’s my project for today. I do hope you liked it and come back and see me again sometime soon!

O Christmas Tree

Hello, and welcome!

Oh my golly gosh! Someone in my workplace remarked that the office Christmas party will be happening in three weeks! Christmas is just over a month away, can you believe it? And I have been so inspired by the lovely things in the Stampin' Up! catalogue that it's going to be touch and go whether or not I'll have time to share them all...so keep your eyes open because I may throw in the odd extra project or two next month!

Anyway, here's today's project I made this a few weeks ago and I'm just hoping that everything I used is still in stock - because things are selling out FAST!

That's all for today!

Keep crafting,

Snow scene

Hello and welcome to my blog.
Today's project is a single layer card. This isn't something that I choose to make very often. In fact, because I am a bit of a rubbish stamper, I'm not usually brave enough to stamp directly onto my card background.

Today, though, I have been brave and this is the result!
See that lovely snowflake shape? I made a stencil using a die from a new set that will be available only in November 2018. They are totally gorgeous, so be on the lookout for them!
I had some help with the stamping. I used my Stamparatus, which gave me the confidence to add the sentiment and the fir tree after I'd done the colouring. I would never have been brave enough to attempt the stamping without the Stamparatus as I would have been certain to stamp in the wrong spot or to smudge my work. As I said, I'm a rubbish stamper

Here's how I made my card..

I'm very happy with the way it looks and I really hope you like it.

Keep crafting,

Keren

Beautiful Blizzard

Hello, and welcome!

I'm sharing the project that I made LIVE on Facebook.

It's a Twist & Pop card. I can't stop making these cards!

Have you seen the new catalogue yet? This bundle - Beautiful Blizzard - was right at the top of my shopping list. I love making winter themed cards - they aren't necessarily for Christmas, and I think you could this bundle for a winter birthday or just to send a special message.
