Crafty Ribbons ~ Cyril the Snowman

Happy Saturday Everyone

Meet Cyril

Why Cyril?? To be honest I have no idea, but when making fun things I love to name them and Cyril just arrived in my head :-)

He was so, so easy to make with very few ingridiants

2 sheets of white A4 Card Stock

half a sheet of black 

a mini scrap of orange

2 googly eyes

scraps of ribbon

I cut him out on my portrait and adhered him together 

I did actually add some blue glittered cardstock to his hat, but later went over with a scrap of ribbon to match his fun scarf

Lastly adding a small length of ribbon for the drawer pull

This is actually a wonderful size with plenty of uses

Fill with sweets for a great affordable Teachers gifts (makes note)

Stocking fillers filled with treats or small gifts

I'm sure you can thing of many more

The ribbons I have used today are from

Crafty Ribbons

and they are from the 

Christmas Owls Collection

Thank you for stopping by today

Crafty Ribbons

Hi there

Here today to share with you a couple of Christmas Goodies

There's Pamela the Penguin

&

Stanley the Snowman

Just the best of friends with there matching scarfs

I have used the lovely Ribbon

Crochet Edge

Oh my very difficult to cut up it is just so lovely 

I have enough to edge a notebook (that was going to be this months project but alas time ran away)

I have also used the 

Basics 2 Go White buttons

Pamela  was a kit which  I hand sewed and added some extra touches at the end.

Stanley started out life as a dolly peg 

I added some gesso and painted him white

I die cut all the felt pieces and used felt glue to adhere

Gave him googly eyes and then attached ribbon and buttons

For his mouth I used a micron pen

Thank you for looking today

EEEkkkk exciting news ~ Crafty Ribbons

So Super Excited to say.......

I am now part of the Crafty Ribbons DT

I have always loved Ali's lovely Ribbons and a few years back made various ribbon samples for shows etc ,so it was an honour to become part of the team.
The only problem I can see is what ribbons to choose for my upcoming projects, Oh My drool, drool there are so many to choose from, I have so many ideas I had to start my own notebook.

I have my Granddaughter staying (again) for a few weeks , we just love crafting together, so I let her choose what we should make. We made this on Tuesday after a visit on Monday to the safari park where she had spotted Reindeers so this was quite an apt make.
Using a couple of files from SIL store I cut out the bag and the gift card holder and Felicity glued them together. We added some googly eyes . Felicity made two little red bows and stuck them on , and then adhered the little golden bells.
I attached the ribbon bag handle.

 Once the holly was stuck on I gave it a shine of glossy accents.

And this is the lushness we used from Crafty Ribbons
Bows - 7mm Country check
Bag strap and Gift card holder strip - Christmas Owl Ribbon
Button - Basics 2 Go Buttons

Happy Birthday to my lovely friend 

Tanya

(hey wait a minute..... Tanya is always noshing on cakes!)

Why not pop across to her blog and wish her a happy day
SSSSShhhh you might even find Birthday Candy

There is always something nice to see and I know she would love to have you stop by....

I am hoping this has arrived safe and sound**edit its arrived**

What started of as a card ended up as a little hanger

(I so could not get it to sit right)

But you know when its just perfect for someone... It must be made

I cut the chick out twice using sturdy card  the teplate is from the SIL store, and decorted using papers printed from Cherryblossom Lane collection . The feet and wings were matted onto the card also and then attached with foam pads. 

The envelope is from Lily bug Love collection and I just added my own sentiment

I adore her little glasses they were cut out from pearl cardstock

The googly eyes were just a must have and finished off little chick

Thanks for stopping by , have a good day
