Hello to you all. Been busy making Mother's Day gifts and Easter gifts.

Made these little gift boxes to sell at my fair. Used Raffia to tie them. Added some little Ladybugs that I fell in love with and I am using on my Easter cards.

Hope you like these.

Pompom flowers.

Hello,to you all. Have gone mad on making pom-poms. Made these flowers, added some raffia and a stamped message. Have got lots of ideas with pom-poms so will try and share them with you.

ribbon wreath.

 Hello. I am still  around.  Made this ribbon  wreath. 

Little jar of flowers.

Hello to you all. As you know I love using jars for my crafts. This is an old spice jar. Not a big fan of dies, but in a previous post love Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies. Vintage morning stamps and Majestic Bloom die.

Stamped all the flowers and die cut them. Coloured with distress inks. Stuck two flowers together and put some florist wire in between. Shaped flowers with water and ball tool. Added gems and then used gilding wax over the centres of the flowers.

Just slightly glimmering.

To get the flowers to stand still in the jar was a nightmare. So wrapped them in a piece of burlap and made some kind of a clump then using Pinflair Gel to stick to bottom of jar.

Added piece of burlap ribbon and a button round middle of jar. Hope you like my mini  creation.

Bugs an all.....

Hello all. After having a lovely break in the sun I am back to crafting. Wanted to do something with these bug stamps. Covered a cardboard square with cream acrylic paint.. Used a crackle stamp from Indigo Blu.

Stamped the large bug onto a hessian tag,added bits of corrugated card and string,buttons and broken kebab sticks.

Edged with black and brown inks and of course to use my favourite.Treasure Gold gilding wax. The more I touched this project with my dirty fingers the more it smudged everywhere, but also the more I loved the effect.

Hope you like this one. Let me know what you think..

Heartfelt Creations wreath..

Hi all. Made this wreath using Heartfelt  Creations stamps and die cuts. Vintage morning background stamps with Majestic Blooms die. Not a big fan of die cuts to be honest...but love this set.

Just wrapped some strong florist wire to make the circle, wrapped with some hessian ribbon. Stamped all the flowers,die cut them out. Inked with Tims inks. Gently sprayed the flowers with water, this makes them more pliable to shape with ball tool.

Stuck the flowers onto the hessian to form the wreath and then just added some pearls to the centres. Will make some more to sell for Mothers Day gifts at work...

Sea shells.

Hi to you all. Why is it when your ill you can just keep crafting. Have been having a good play whilst off from work.

Entering this little project into Countryview Challenge. Painty pleasures. Made this with scraps of card,painted with acrylic paints. The back ground is a square of mount board washed with cream acrylic paint. Turquoise circles then stamped with a blue Distress ink, using a swirl stamp.

Stamped the shells along the bottom, then added the painted correguated card. Added shells and buttons and some twine to finish off...
