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.

Hi everyone, we are all very excited at Craft Consortium to be launching a stunning new collection by the super talented Helz Cuppleditch called It's Snome Time. You will be able to see this collection on Create and Craft TV on Wednesday 21st August at 4pm UK time and also catch up on this programme on Create and Craft's website if you miss it. As for stockist you can purchase from Create and Craft, Craft Consortium and most leading craft  shops. 

This colourful collection comes with a 12x12 paper pad, stamps, 3D Decoupage, metal charms and gorgeous colourful pearls and all compliment each other so well when creating.

Here is my 8 x 8 card I have made using a selection of the 3D Decoupage characters to create my scene, aren’t they so cute.

Enjoy the photos. 

My matching Gift Card Box was made using the scraps of paper left from my card and the Topper from my Decoupage sheets. I made this on my Scorpal Board so it fitted my card perfectly.

My crackers have been made with the beautiful selection of papers in the pad and the help of my Tonic Studios Cracker Die.

I have had so much fun creating cards, 3D projects and home decor with this pad and look forward to sharing them all with you.

Home Decor Tropical Hangings

Hi everyone. today for my Design Team post at Craft Consortium I have been playing with the new Tropical Paradise Paper Pad from the Essentials Collection. It’s full of fun images of Tropical Birds and pretty flowers and foliage.

The parrots I thought would look great sitting on a twine hoop. Using my circle die I cut out with cereal packet approximately 4 inch circles and wrapped my twine around them.

Fussy cutting my birds adding some diecut foliage and flowers. They now look great hanging on my craft tree in my craftroom.

Please do check out Craft Consortium and have a look at all their other fabulous products. You can also follow them on Facebook and Instagram for regular inspiration and giveaways.

Tonic Studios - Concertina Dies

Hi everyone, I can finally share some amazing news with you all. I was recently contacted by Tonic Studios asking if I would like to share some inspiration using their newly launched Concertina dies, so of course I said YES.

These will be released on Create and Craft  today (Monday the 24th) at 10am and 3pm or alternatively at Create and Craft's website on catch up TV. I had so much fun with these Dies and can see a lot of potential in 3D designs with them.

This is the first of my makes which also uses Tonic Craft Perfect paper.

My second project I have made a small memory box, ideal for filing photographs or ephemera in.

My third project is a letter/memo rack using Craft Consortiums Herbarium and Wood Effects Papers. I remember my gran having a letter rack made of wood similar to this in design which gave me the idea to making this using the Concertina die.

Please do check out Tonic Studios on Facebook and Instagram to see all the inspiration from the team using these Dies.
