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

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
