Snowman Snowglobe

Hello, and welcome!

This blog is a bit late, for which I apologise.  My day job asked me to attend a meeting in London at very short notice and the journey back was a bit of a nightmare...I arrived home four hours later than I expected.  I hope you'll understand that I was too tired to blog as planned.  I'm still feeling the after-effects today!

Today's shaker card was originally going to be a bauble to hang on the Christmas tree, but I changed my mind.  And not everything turned out as I hoped!  See the tutorial here- 

There are a couple of things I'll do differently when I remake this card - but that's how one learns, I suppose!

Anyway, I'm off for an early night!  Thank you for visiting and

Keep crafting!

The future is bright...

Hello, and welcome!

It's October, and I am already excited for Halloween.  It's my favourite celebration of the year so I have to make at least one project to honour the occasion, am I right?

Here's how I made this card using the snow globe dome as a crystal ball-

I struggled a bit with lining up the stamped background.  I'm sure there must be an easy way but if so, I don't know what it is!  (Heads off to do research...)

See you soon,

Keep crafting,

Penguin Shaker Snow globe

Hello bloggists, and welcome.  Thank you for visiting!

Have you seen the Thoughtful Branches bundle yet?  It’s available for the month of August only.  

One of the advantages of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the chance to get hold of new items before they go on sale to customers and I’ve had this set for a few weeks now...I’m loving it and I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ve been making with it very soon.  (Hint – join me for my next live stream on 10 August, 7.30 pm!)

  If you’ve got some Bonus Days coupons waiting to be used, you might want to apply them to help cover the cost of this bundle...just sayin’!

Meanwhile, we’re now on the downhill slope towards the holiday season (Eeek!) so here’s my first winter-y card of the year – and it’s a snowglobe shaker card. 

Shaker cards are always popular and the thick foam tape makes it easy to put them together I couldn’t bring myself to add a Christmas sentiment but you could, quite easily.  The penguin is made using the Owl Builder punch.  This is a really versatile bit of kit because that owl can be turned into all sorts of creatures.  

Here’s the video tutorial –

I do hope you enjoyed this project - come and visit again soon!

Crafty Hugs,
