Polkadoodles Crafting ~Winnie Winterland ~ Lantern

Happy Sunday to you all

Here to share with you a little project that I made for the latest Create & Craft Tv show with Nikky from Polkadoodles

~ ~ ~

For the lantern I used the lovely template from Sandra's you can find it in her store right here

It is lovely to put together and very easy

I added in Christmas acetate for the windows

and used the lovely 

Winnie in Winterland Collection

to decorate

there is even a little scene inside

I also popped in a battery candle , it looks pretty at night but silly me forgot to take a photo f it lit up before I sent it!

I added a couple of plastic snowflakes

and a die cut lamppost

a little glitter to the flowers

and a smudge of distress ink 

Thank you so much for looking

147 days

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

Anything Goes - Polkadoodles Crafting

Happy Friday Everyone!

Here today for 

Polkadoodles Challenge

*Anything Goes*

Or

*Something beginning with F*

hmmmm something beginning F had to be flowers for me. My friend is celebrating her 70th birthday so I wanted to make something a little special. I chose the lovely lantern template from The Lavender Tea collection.
I have made this before and although it looks tricky it really is'nt . It also builds quickly the longest part for me is the decorating although I find that really enjoyable. I use lots of blue-tac until I am completly sure what is going where.

 It looks quite red in the photo's but its a really deep pink in real life. I used a really lovely pearl stock card.  I wanted to match the flowers in so I decorated using
 Lemonade Fizz collection.

 I think they work perfectly together. All that was added to finish were some pearls, a little lace hanging down, a few fern dies and a battery operated candle

Oh and of course a matching card

Thank you for looking
