Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my Design Team post for Craft Consortium using their latest release launching today 17th February on Create and Craft TV at 6pm UK time. Please don’t worry if you have missed the programme and had hoped to see as you can always catch up with it on the Create and Craft website. The products will also be available direct from Craft Consortium and craft shops.

This collection is steeped in nostalgic images drawn by artist Clare Therese Gray and as you can see has an amazing assortment of stamps, papers and embellishments in the collection with the usual outstanding quality from Craft Consortium.

Here are a few of my projects using this beautiful collection to share with you. I’m sure you will agree this is a very versatile collection that suits lots of occasions.

Beastie Box

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by my blog today. For my DT post at Craft Consortium I have been creating with the stunning eclectic 12x12 papers and stamps from The Emporium collection to make my Beastie Box. 

The stamps as you can see stamped beautifully and I heat embossed the images adding extra layers for dimension and some glossy accents for a life like feel. I added a little cotton ribbon onto the top of them to make it easy to be lifted out my box.

Please do check out Craft Consortium and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for regular inspiration and giveaways.

Introducing The Emporium

Hi everyone, today for my Design Team post with Craft Consortium I am sharing my first project using The Emporium Collection which has just been launched. As you can see from the photo below this is a stunning collection which includes stamps and ephemera. The papers are exquisite in design and are a joy to create with.

I decided to make a stationery gift box containing cards/notelets with matching 4x4 envelopes.

My card designs I kept to a minimum to show the beauty of these papers adding on some sentiments using the stamps from the collection.

My bug I added some glossy accents on top of the body to give a domed effect.

Here are another couple of pics for you to enjoy.

This collection is available HERE and at most leading craft retailers.

More Snome Time

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing some more of my makes using one of Craft Consortium's latest collections by Helz Cuppleditch - It’s Snome Time. I had a lot of fun making some Christmas decor using this collection.

I made this small chest of drawers which could contain sweeties or a gift or could even be further extended into an Advent Calendar using Tonic Studios - A Little Something Gift Box.

My drawer handles and feet are all made from small wooden beads, covered in Gilding Wax and secured in place with a little twine threaded through the bead and papers, gluing in place.

Using the 3D Decoupage sheets I added my Easel card onto the top of my chest. Glass Glitter, Extra fine Glitter, Faux Snow and Nuvo Crystal Drops were all added for an extra chilly feel.

The sides of my box had some toppers added onto the papers.

My baubles have also been made using the 3D Decoupage sheets and papers. You will notice I have also added extra snow and glitter to these with a sprinkling of Frantage in the background for snow falling.

I made some gift boxes with my scoreboard to compliment them. Adding a stamped sentiment and diecut snowflake.

A small snowflake charm added onto my ribbon for an extra touch of luxury and detail.

Why not join us over at Craft Consortium Network on Facebook and share your crafty makes with us or get inspired at all the inspiration using Craft Consortium Products. You will also find us at #ccmakes and #craftconsortium on Instagram where you can share your makes with us.
