Hello!  I have been creating again with the Bolt and this time I decided to alter a tin that I had lying around along with some of the 'gifts' found in the Christmas crackers and turn it into a little gift.

I drew around the outside of the tin so I had a background to work on.  I added some of the tape measure which I cut from the paper and also one of the spool tops.  The sizing chart is from the die cut pack and was brilliant as a backing.  I finished off the top with one of the chipboard buttons.

On the inside of the tin I decorated it with some of the papers and added one of the wood veneer plaques to the inside of the lid.

I made a little pin holder using one of the die cuts.  I added a folded piece of paper underneath along with some felt.  I used the little alphabets to add 'pins' to it.

When it was finished I added all the bits and bobs in and it is now ready to be placed in a handbag for little emergencies!!

A little treasure

Back in the October when Autumn was beginning, we took a break up to one of our favourite places in Scotland .... The Cairngorm National park.  This place is filled with hidden treasures and while out walking we stumbled across this beautiful look out over a few lochs that we have visited before. I loved the colours of Autumn beginning to show in the valley below and the way my daughter just kept looking out while perched on top of the crags.

RRBF Fundamentals Sentiment Stickers

I used the hearts and stars Blue Daze paper for my background as I loved the colour and the wee hearts really show how much we adore finding places like this.

The Happy Days papers and die cut sentiments fitted perfectly too along with the Fundamentals wood veneer adding again little touches of what you are wanting to say about the photo but not detracting from it.

The clear sentiment stickers are a firm favourite of mine and can be used to add simple statements.  Here I used some to border the edge of one of the corners.  They are so simple to add to any of your crafts.

Have a good one

It's all about Dad!

Hello there, wow where is the year going it seems to be flying in! We are in June already and this month we celebrate Father’s day and unlike Mother’s day I think that it falls on the same day worldwide!! I am here today to share with you some cards for those special men in your life …

With this card I used the little journal panels which can be found on the ??? 12 x 12 sheet and added some chipboard letters. The Country Cookin’ twine looked brilliant wrapped around it before backing it on some more paper. The little wood vaneer stars are just too cute not to use!

This next card is inspired by my football (or soccer!) loving brothers! I cut some hexagons in the Fundamental ?? paper and then glued them to a circle card, trimming off the excess. You can also make your own zig zag greetings by cutting strips from the paper. Then, using the Fundamentals Baby stamps , stamp them in the middle.

Boolicious with Country Cookin'

Good morning to all you lovely crafters!  

With Halloween just around the corner I thought I would share a little 'Boo'tastic wreath I made with the Ruby Rock-It Country Cookin' range! Yes I agree this range is all things cooking but some of the reverse papers are really cool and can be used to create some fun projects.

This started life a little polystyrene ring.  I cut thin strips of the Knick Knacks paper and wounded it around the ring securing at either ends by glue.  You will need to overlap them so it lays flat.  Once this was done I wrap some of the orange twine from the range around it.  

To make sure everything stayed in place I added a circle of Crate paper.

BOO was simply created by cutting the letters out from the Quarters paper and gluing them into the centre.

To finish I die cut and punched some embellishments from the Floral paper and add some of the Droplet Stickers, which by the way are gorgeous!

I so enjoyed making this and using the Country Cookin' a little bit differently,

I hope I have inspired you to think outside the box today!

Stargazer Lily Cards

Today I am here to share my creations using the Bella! My Romance collection.  Even though they are wedding themed they can be used for any occasion.  I teamed this with the Spellbinders Build a Stargazer Lily die to create these everyday cards

This birthday card was made using some of the 'left overs' from other projects and I attached them to one of the Fundamentals Imprint cards.  I die cut a flourish out of the Fundamentals vellum to give it a delicate touch.

For the next card I decided to use the Fundamentals decoupage to create an aperture card.  I put the frame on the front of the card and drew around the inside.  I then cut along the lines before adding the frame.  I built up the rest of the decoupage and put it in the inside of the card before embellishing the rest of the card.

And finally I used a stamp and some embossing powders from the WOW to create the background before building up the rest of the card.
