Decoupage Pillow Boxes

Hi Everyone, today for my DT post for Craft Consortium I am showcasing a couple of their Festive Decoupage Papers from their amazing collection. I like to make pillow boxes to place small gifts in at Christmas time.

I started by gluing my Decoupage Papers on to cardstock and once dry I used my pillow box die and cut them out. The Decoupage Papers work far better in this die than normal cardstock as the don't crack along the seam.

Next the fun part of embossing my die cuts with different powders to compliments each pillow box.

My Snowflake was finished in the centre with this elegant Pearl and Diamanté embellishment.

My Poinsettia was finished with a Diamanté buckle which I added micro beads into the centre.

Please checkout Craft Consortium to see their vast range of stunning embellishments, paper pads and Decoupage papers on Facebook for inspiration and regular giveaways, you will also find them on Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram.

Tree Shaker Card

Hi everyone, today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Festive inspiration using their new Christmas Tree shaker die. I have made this card in mind that many of us like to make a lot of Christmas cards, so this is a design that won't take too long to make. My card measures 4 and a half inches square, this is smaller than my usual square cards I make.

My Christmas Tree was coloured with a mix of Distress Powder and a sparkly powder and filled with Metal Confetti, Micro Beads and Glass Glitter.

All my sparkly and snow layers were made by heat embossing with different colours of powder after die cutting them out. This takes a little longer to do but has the advantage of your glitter staying in place and not falling off.

Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments on Blog Hop Day, I loved ready them all. It would be great to see you sharing your creativity with Cheery Lynn Dies in their Bi Weekly Challenge with a chance to win a $20 Shopping Spree.

Cheery Lynn Designs - Shaker Dies Blog Hop

Hi everyone. It's blog hop day at Cheery Lynn Designs and we are all super excited to be sharing our designs with the fun new Shaker Dies.

We have all been assigned a different Shaker die to use for the hop and I was given the Heart Die along with the Love You and Heart Shakers.

My card is made in a Shabby Chic style adding Silver Embossing around my Shaker Heart by rubbing my small Versamark ink pad around the edges and heat setting my Powder in place. My shakers were placed under the acetate and I also added some Glass Glitter for extra sparkle.

The edges of my card were tattered and embossed. My flowers I inked in the centres adding some bling into the centres of the smaller flowers and Silver Flower Soft into the larger ones.

I had a lot of fun making this card and they make a great noise when shaken. Please check out the video HERE on how to make these fun Shakers.

I'd love if you left a comment before hopping to your next stop on the hop - Lisa's blog.

Please carry on the hop to see the rest of the teams inspiration and to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Happy Halloween

Hi fellow bloggers, thanks so much for stopping by today to see my DT post for Craft Consortium. My card today showcases this super Decoupage Paper called Distressed Wood and I thought it was the perfect background for my Halloween card.

I love the versatility of the decoupage papers and on my card I mounted my Decoupage paper onto cardstock with Mod Podge , tattered at the edges and added some purple Distress ink.

My spikey flowers were made using the Kori Kumi Die Cut Flowers and adding some of the leaf ribbons.
