Snow Folks Gift Bag


Good Morning Friends,today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 . Frosty the Snowman is the theme and we want you to make a project incorporating cricut cut snowmen. It was fun to papercraft some after making so many real ones lately!
 
 
The gift bag is cut at 4" from Artiste and embossed,inked and enamelled.
A little distressed washi tape for interest.
 
 
 
The snowflake and snow peeps were cut at 3" from Snow Folks.
I cut a few snowflakes and glued them together to make it sturdy enough for inking and adding twinklets to.
 
 
A bit more inking and doodling and some 3d foam for dimension.
I used Ranger black enamel accents for the eyes.
 
My fellow team mates have lots of fabulous snowmen projects to inspire you so do pop over to BBTB2 and check them out.
Do come and join in the fun with us.

Little Scrap Pieces - Use a Flower


Hi,hope you are enjoying your weekend.
 We got snow yesterday which has been lots of fun and lots of disruption!
 
The challenge this week over at Little Scrap Pieces is to use a flower.
 
I decided to go with this cute little cracker..
 
 
My BFF and I are going to do a craft fair and I made this as a prototype!
 
The cracker and sentiment are both from My Creative Time.
I used to make lots of these simple flowers.
I punch a circle of card,wet it,crumple it and then let it dry.
Finished with a gem. and some twine.
 
Do check out my DT sisters for lots of inspiration and come and join in the fun.
 
Off for another snowball fight....we have to make the most of it!!

Today is my turn to host the challenge over at BBTB2.
With spring just around the corner and nature as inspiration I chose a bird and branch theme. I have a thing for trees,branches and fences...I know kinda strange...so felt a cricut cut branch had to be added to the cricut cut bird project!! Lol!
 
I made this card for my Mum whose birthday was yesterday.

 
Recipe
Art Philosophy - card at 4.5",Bird at 2",Branch at 2"
DP - Papermania Vintage Notes (Thanks Santa)

Lots of 3d foam and some ribbon,button and a pin.
 
I think it looks even prettier in person.
