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

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

Okat my final one for today I made up the 

Cartonnage Carry Tray

So, so many uses for this one

I did love assembling this I went for my colourwave of the year which seems to be purple 

I covered all the pieces with amazing cardstock , I adore this soooooo much

I assembled following the instructions

and of course using the faithfull 

Pinflair Glue - It Bookbinding Glue 

I also used a stencil with Pinflair Buff-It Silver

and a stencil with Pinflair Gellitex Oh my goodness I love this stuff!!

I then added some flowers and greenery, added some lace and beads

soooooooooooo girly

Happy Tuesday Everyone

What an exciting day ....Not only is it my Birthday.....but.......

I have been busy making some samples for todays show's on

Create & Craft for the lovely Jo from Pinflair

the shows are at 2.00 and 9.00

There will be a few posts from me today to show you what I made

and will start by showing you the wheelbarrow

I totally had a blast making all my projects I totally am in love with the Cartonnage kits

I wish in hindsight I had taken step by step photo's of this as at every turn and drop of paint I squealed a bit more , I really did not want to part with this so I am going to make one for me too

When I first saw this my vision was to build it with flowers across the top , it soon became clear this was not going to work to well.

I started off painting the body 

Using Pinflair Buff-It  Liquid Orange

Once dry I added some stencilling.

 I then  used Pinflair Glue - It Bookbinding Glue (I used this for all my cartonnage makes) to put the body together

To get the rust effect (this is on the inside of the wheelbarrow too as some bits show)

I used Pinflair Rust - It Orange

Using a sponge to apply first and then dabbing it on , I loved this I wanted to give everything a rust effect, Using Pinflair Buff-It Slate to give it some colour

Using Pinflair Buff - It Liquid Black the wheels were painted

Once I had stopped faffing and it was all dry it was assembly time I was dreading this bit as it looked as if it may be tricky but it was soooo, so easy the instructions are so clear

I was so chuffed at this point I loved the orange so after much head scratching I came up with using sunflowers, I loved the idea but then I hit a major problem half way through making my sunflowers I ran out of Orange card stock, thank goodness for Amazon Prime!!

Sunflowers made , Bee's attached I made a little tag and a mini trowel to finish.

I do hope you will watch the shows there are really some stunning makes to be seen and of course some scrummy goodies
