Embroidery Hoop The Scatty way

Happy Monday to you 

Today I am sharing with you a Embroidery hoop

I cut this on my portrait using dark brown and Kraft card I thought it looked quite realistic!

I then stamped out six flowers and fussy cut them out

Using some random stamps and leafs

I used Distress Ink refils to colour up

And once dry I slightly cut into them and layered them up 

Glued them onto my hoop

and added a quick sentiment

Happy Birthday Auntie Ivy

Happy Sunday

It's Auntie Ivy's Birthday soon

Now we don't normally send Birthday cards but....

I was poorly last Christmas and did not get to make my usual Family home made cards...

Am afraid they were all brought..

I heard a wisper that she missed my normal homemade card and that stayed with me, so many people really dont appreciate the time and thought that goes into homemade these days.

I was determined to make a nice  Birthday card and here it is

I have used the wonderful kit from Pinflair

Through the Window

The Quality is super and you get a lovely sheet of thick acetate for the windows.

The flowers are all numbered so very easy to decoupage 

I even made a little insert ( a first for me a proper insert)

Thank you so much for stopping by

Vintage Flowers ~ Pinflair

Last week was just like Christmas , Two huge massive boxes arrived from the lovely Jo from Pinflair filled to the brim with lots of loveliness to play with

I absolutly adore 3d and there was masses !! I could not wait to get started. I will be sharing all my makes with you

So 4 days ago my friend got engaged I am so excited for her , her ring is huge and very sparkly so I set to make them a card, She restores furniture etc and is very much into vintage, so the kit I used was pretty perfect

I used a page from Vintage Flowers

I adore these books so many wonderful pre-cut elements to make your cards unique and special

You also get a little picture to show what your card could look me but I turned that into a tag for the inside.

I added in a few sparkly pearls and some yummy Viscose Lace  a snip of  Satin Ribbon on my tag. Lace and Ribbon both from Crafty Ribbons

The little pocket inside was made from a sheet that was in a Paper Pad from Pinflair Woodland Winter, although it has a slight dusting of snow its such a perfect match and Im sure I will get away with it

Thank you so much for looking , Having a great day

Christmas in August?

Hmmmmm Christmas in August really has not got the right ring but hey who cares

I have just found some new cuties about town!

I really have fallen in love and I can see some great Christmas makes with these in the future.

Hi Cookie

Check them all out in 

Swedish Housecrafts

For my projects I have used

Nils deer jumper

He was far tooooo cute to just make a card with I just had to make a set

I created a card, gift box and a matching tag

These were all so much fun to make

I coloured up Nils using Distress re inkers

I used walnut stain Oxide ink for the edges

The DP is Studio light Quality papers
I have used white fluffy stuff on the Moustache and slippers
and Puffy stuff on the hats (My Graddaughter was in awe as I heated it and it puffed)

For the card I used a random stencil from my stash of stencils

Mounted with foam tabs onto my DP which I slightly distressed

Nils was also adhered with foam tabs to give some depth 

The snowflakes were doubled up and were from an ancient die

The holly and flowers fussy cut and added with Pinflair Glue Gel

I cut the tag on my portrait and used an old star die the negative stars that cut out I used on Nils hat

I just love him dearly

I then made a matching box, now I love making these but I can never seem to get the correct photo

I really have had so much fun who said we can't Christmas in August ??

Happy Tuesday Everyone, the sun is still shining 

and me......Well I am set for a crafty day

~ ~ ~

My Granddaughter was going on a school trip and needed a purse with her name inside – The night before the trip no purse could be found even though she has a few. 

I could see she was getting very anxious

I was thinking I could sew one but then I found a pattern in the SIL store I was a little dubious if it would work ~ but it works like a treat and was very simple

Felicity chose her paper

If you are a follower of my blog you will know by now I use B & M's 12 x 12 double sided paper packs for my 3d projects at £2.99 with lots of different designs

So we set together and made one out of the card, We popped some hearts from the Fiskars punch to decorate. She loved it and so did her friends !! We need to make 3 more now

Happy Christmas with Pinflair

Happy Friday and Happy Christmas

I have been super busy lately making up samples for todays

Pinflair show on Create & Craft with the lovely Jo

who will be on your screens at 1.00pm ~2.00pm

~~oo~~

The whole team have been busy little Elves and had a wonderful time with lots of fun along the way

This will be a long post so why not grab a Hot Chocolate, a Gingerman Biscuit and soak up Christmas.....

Lets start with the Pinflair Shrink Wrap Collection

WOW simply amazing 

Just pop around your bauble , into freshly boiled water (taking lots of care here) using some tongs - and voila after seconds you have an amazing bauble

I have never used this shrink wrap I was absolutly amazed how easy it was and how stunning it looked

I also used some Puff Paste on this

Here is a trio I made , making them little gift boxes how nice would these be to give to friends

There are so many different designs , I really am thinking Teachers gifts here

I made the little boxes from Kraft card and added in some rafia also using this too tie the boxes also.

Making some little tags and adding some tiny bells

~~oo~~

Keeping on with the shrink wrap they also do sleeves!! Eeeks you can decorate your own wine bottles how cool is that 

I did not have any wine bottles to hand but I did have a little liquore brandy bottle (quite partial to a drop of Brandy! and it is Christmas after all)

I cut the wrap down to fit

A table decoration was born

~~oo~~

My next make was using a Poly ball

I covered this in Puff Paste and left to dry

I already had a circular poly frame so I made some Poinsetta flowers and covered it

I then Painted up the little deers from the Pinflair MDF Embellishment kit. For the paint I used

Pinflair Liquid Buff-It every crafter needs this in there life!!

~~oo~~

Then I played with the Pinflair Bauble tree

I was so , so in love with these

The first one I used Pinflair Liquid Buff-It and painted it , I think I may of used Emerald Green

I then used Gellitex through a star stencil, this was a little hard to see in the photo, but promise its there

I added a little tinsel and some silver stars 

For the base I used  Puff Paste as it was quite a big coating I left to dry over night

I used those scrummy reindeers that I used in my previous project  from the Pinflair MDF Embellishment kit.

I then decorated my Bauble using Pinflair Shrink Wrap Collection and added lots of gemstones for the extra sparkle

I added some little lights which also sit inside the bauble it looks so twinkly at night.

My other tree I did for some strange reason I do not have a seperate photo of it 

Again I used Pinflair Liquid Buff-It  to paint and used  Puff Paste to edge around and do the base. I also used the Pinflair MDF Embellishment kit for the smaller tree's and sign . I used a few random baby pine cones that I had in stash and just added a smidge of snow to each.

I made and added a matching Bauble as before

~~oo~~

For my final make I call it random, Using lots of bits and pieces from the kits and of course lots of snow

I love the tree's I can see them as lovely little place names at the Christmas dinner table

I hope you have enjoyed my makes and will manage to catch the show

I love working with the Pinflair team there so creative and the products are super duper wonderful
