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

Happy Festive Snowman Die ~ Polkadoodles

Happy Wednesday to you 

Have you spotted the 

Happy Festive Snowman Die

How cute is he

There are various elements to this die set so you can alter about and make him look so different  how clever is that

I have cut him out in sparkly cardstock and popped him on a piece of corrugated card which I have popped some sparkly paste on

I have also used the Holly Spruce Die 

along with the 

Perfect Parcels Die

and

Finishing off with 

Merry Christmas Die

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

Happy Friday

I am here today to share with you a card I made for the recent Hochanda show

he is a very sparkly Snowman

I cut out a circle and used the outty as my mask , I also ripped some papers for hills and did a circle moon - I then used Distress Oxides, splashed with water to make a snow effect.

I then used the lovely

Snowman Sentiments Stencil 

 with some texture paste and sprinkled a little glitter on.

Left to dry then added a sentiment from 

Heartfelt Tree Stamp Set

Such a simple card but I so love it

That Snowman melts my heart (giggles)

Thanks for stopping by

I love absolutly everything about this collection that it takes me forever to choose what to use . I tried to keep the globe and card matching .

Everything used to decorate is from the collection apart from the added 

Snowglobe -cotten wool - hanging snow- ribbon and snowflakes

Card - ribbon, snowflakes, jingly bell

For the main body I used Kraft card so it was nice and sturdy . I then used white glittered cardstock

Polkadoodles Challenge

*Anything Goes*

Today I am sharing with you a lovely Christmas Ice Skate
I cut this out on my portrait using a lovely file from Sandra that you can find here

Festive Christmas
How utterly adorable is the snowman he had to play a part! (or two)
I added in some feathers they seem to be playing a big part in my Christmas makes this year
I added some lace and tinsel and some twine for the laces into some little eyelets

Adding lots of pearls and some red liquid pearls and a few blingy silver flowers.
The paper, tag, snowman, holly, hearts , candycanes leaves and flowers are all from the collection

Star Hanger - Polkadoodles Crafting

I am just adoring making Christmas Crafts this year

This wonderful new collection is an absolute must have

This time I have made a star hanger

It was cut on my portrait

and you can find the file at Sandra's right here ( I shop here loads if your a follower you probably would of realised that - I love all of her files)

Now this one came as a star card but since we were trying to steer away from the card route I made it into a hanging star using a slice of matching ribbon

I decorated using the wonderful new collection 

Festive Christmas

that paper is lush!

Don't ask me why I added feathers, but they were pretty and white and they seemed to work

** Scatty tip for you - Do not use feathers when its boiling hot and you have your fan going**

I finished of using liquid pearls

Thanks for looking

Snowman Lantern - Polkadoodles Crafting

Oh I absolutly adored making this lantern

I've literally fallen in love with the cute little snowman

Cut on my portrait but this is such an easy file you could very easily cut by hand if you have not got a cutting machine

You can shop for the lovely lantern here

Now I have made mine with a box in the middle but you can easily make without attaching to send flat pack

I cut the lantern in Kraft card and used the new collection to decorate
Festive Christmas

using vellum on the windows

I used lots of layered up flowers

and to finish off

A few snowballs

and a little battery candle

Thanks for looking
