Box, Shelf Card ?????

Good Morning All

Here is my project I mentioned yesterday.

I am so pleased with how this turned out.

Front

The back featuring a charm as shown yesterday.

The top decorated with flowers, leaves  and stick pins.

Guess what's inside.

I was browsing Pinterest and have seen this design many times, so finally decided to have a go.

Obviosuly the shelves wont hold anything too heavy, I will  have to have a think about this.

One problem I came across was how to keep it fastened besides having a lid on.

I decided to use mini magnets  and ribbon and then hot glued a ribbon and pearl buckle to hide it.

So pleased with this, it fitted together perfectly and will look great on my stall at the craft fayre.

If any of you have made this style, please leave me a link and I will pop over.

There are tutorials on  You Tube  that show how to make it  but I thought this was a good one.
 HERE 

I just used 8 x8" paper to make the shelf boxes and winged it from there.!!!!!

 I am looking for a couple more DT members for MAWTT Challenge.

Multi Charms

Good Morning All

I ordered these charms from Ebay.

As you can see they are about 1.5 and 2.5cm wide.

And here are some of the charms I made with them.

The first pic is the smaller ones.

And this on the left is the larger ones.

Love the colours of this one, the pearls are actually a deep burgundy.

And I love these blue ones too, one of which I have used on my project to show you tomorrow.

I am so proud of, it turned out beautifully but you shall have to wait and see!!!!

Stick Pins

Good Morning All

Definate change in the temperature this weekend.  I was given a very lightweight fleece by some friends of ours that run a Car business on the high street in our village. 

 It is just perfect for this time of year.

Excuse my bed head hair LOL.

********

I have been making more stick pins in Christmas colours.

I have been joining in some swaps on Facebook so I will be including some in those, aswell as making some to sell at the Christmas Fayre.

I love making these as I can sit and do them at night while watching TV.

I love these vibrant colours.

I have made a very pretty fabric book for some of these to go in on the stall too.  I shall show you that another day.

If anyone would like some and just pay 2.50 for P&P, please email me or comments.

Johns Birthday

Good Morning All

Today is my Johns Birthday

and this is the card I made for him.

I borrowed the template for this from my crafty friend Lyn.

As you know, 'man' cards are difficult to come up with ideas for.

It is as near to Champagne as John will get as neither of us like the stuff.

Quick Christmas cards

Good Morning All

It is my Mums Birthday today, a proud 92 years old and still going strong.

Happy Birthday Mum.

Todays cards are some very quick ones I have made for the stall in November and charity.

I sit and fold the trees at night then make them into cards next day.
I think they look quite effective on embossed Mirri card which I get from a China store here for
1 euro for an A2 sheet!!!!

It is still quite warm here in Spain, the arkward time, do I need a blanket on the bed or not?
Still not got the jeans out yet though.

Anything Goes for Crafty Friends

Good Morning All

Crafty Friends Challenge is my first post this morning.
The theme is Anything Goes and we are sponsored by Pot Pourri Designs
And it is one of their images I have used on my card.
I made a dress from doilies and used another doily behind the image.
All matted onto John Lockwood paper and a Creative Expressions pierced flag sentiment.

I used what was left from the sheet of paper for the inside of the card and a piece of satin ribbon.

Here are some more doilie dresses I have made for card embellishment, fun making them.

A great way of using old bits of stash up too.

I have had these doilies for ages.
