Craft Consortium. Haberdashery/Craft Essentials Product Overview, Tiny Boxes

I have been having a dig around through my Craft Consortium stash of charms, pearls, gems and so forth...

... and I thought it might be nice to have a few mini makes to remind me of what is actually available.

After all, it's so easy to get carried away with the newest product releases and forget that these little beauties do actually exist!

As you can see, I've opted to make a few mini gift boxes.

Could you tell which are Craft Consortium products and which are not?

I've included links below just in case there are any here you weren't aware off...

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, 'Froggy' Gift Box

Need a gift box in a hurry?

Running short on time?

Perhaps something along these lines might help...

I've added some sparkle here, but if you want to adapt it quickly maybe some string instead of ribbon and bugs from The Emporium Collection or a die cut leaf instead of a flower would suit better instead?

With a little bit of fussy cutting Craft Consortium has plenty to offer by way of decoration!

I've even had the time to colour and stamp some images on this box!

Craft Consortium, Essentials Craft Papers, 'Charmed' Wreath

I'm experimenting with an idea today that's based on the many beautiful wreaths I see from my fellow Craft Consortium DT team mate, Michelle.

As you can see, I've chosen to embellish mine with a few charms and some paint splatters!

Here's a list of the Craft Consortium supplies that I've used...

Craft Consortium, English Garden/Little Fawn and Friends, Pillow Box

Just stopping by with a quick and simple Pillow Box idea!

I've used a die for my box (own stash), but there are Punch Board options available too!

Simply create the box, add ink and tie with raffia.

Then add a contrasting belly band...

(I've distressed the edges on mine before adding lace to either side).

... and a topper!

It really doesn't get much easier than that!

Craft Consortium, The Emporium, Botany (Framed)

You may have noticed that I have a particular fondness for making framed pictures. As such, I'm often trying to come up with new ways to 'reinvent the wheel' I guess!

I can't help it! There's just something about building a scene within a frame that I absolutely love.

Here's todays offering...

I've primarily used Craft Consortium papers, but there are a few wooden embellishments here, along with a brown 'fretwork ' piece using card from my own stash of supplies.

See how I've varied things up and added to the Mixed Media feel just by adding a flower cut from The Essential Craft Papers Wooden Textures collection..?
