Craft Consortium, Happy Haunting, Mini Halloween Cards

Just stopping by with some quick and easy ideas for mini Halloween cards.

These all measure 9x9cm so they are the perfect size for using up some of those left over scraps of paper from your other Happy Haunting projects.










As you'll see from the 'close up' photo's below, there are so many ways to use up those scraps!













Don't forget to share your Craft Consortium makes with us over on Instagram using either  #craftconsortium or #ccmakes...   or head on over to our Craft Consortium Network page.

Craft Consortium, The Nativity, Christmas Stockings

Hello, everyone.

Hope you are keeping well?

It's already getting a little too chilly for me!


*


I've been in my craft room this week working on these Christmas stockings...






The background papers that create the actual stocking are all from the Essentials Grunge - Dark Tones 12 x 12 paper collection and the decorations are from The Nativity...  an incredibly sweet set of images, papers, stamps, wooden ephemera, 3D decoupage, star embellishments and charms all designed by Helz Cuppleditch in collaboration with Craft Consortium.



Here are a few close up shots...










As you can see, I've added smidges of ink and gilding wax...  as well as embossing in parts.

(Click HERE) to see the complete Nativity collection for yourselves.



As these stockings are 3D, they are multipurpose little makes that can be used as pictured or as a card topper with a gift card or little note tucked inside perhaps?



Have a great day...

Craft Consortium, Noel, Distressed Christmas Card

I'm taking a break from all things Halloween to share a Distressed Christmas card with you all...


This card was made using two papers from Craft Consortium's 6x6 Noel collection,  plus one additional topper and a wreath metal charm.  

(Additional elements include some torn paper from the Grunge - Dark Tones collection and White Elegant Satin Ribbon from the Always & Forever collection, plus some kraft card, twine, silver Stickles and stamps from my own personal stash).






I hope your own Christmas plans are going well.

How many Christmas cards have you made so far, I wonder?

Craft Consortium, Happy Haunting, Halloween Shaker Box

 I'm using a mini shaker box die today to create a two-way display piece using Craft Consortium's fabulously cute 'Happy Haunting' collection.


As you can see it can be displayed like this...  




 or like this..









I've used a mixture of wooden embellishments and additional toppers from the 6x6 paper pad for this design...  plus a witches hat metal charm on the outside and a grave stone within!



If you have any questions about how this was made or what else was used, please feel free to get in touch.


Thanks heaps for stopping by...

Craft Consortium, Happy Haunting, Pumpkin Cracker

 It's all things cute, fun and child friendly with me today as I share my 'Happy Haunting' Halloween  pumpkin cracker...




Do you like the Googley Eyes I added to the wooden topper?









These papers are all from Craft Consortium!

The base paper for the cracker itself is from the Essentials 'Festive Tones' collection, topped with a craft die cut (Iron Square) from the Dienmix range. 



Don't you just love this fun 'Happy Haunting' collection?

There are a lot of fun papers and additional topper elements on the inside of the paper pad, plus two sets of charms and some cute wooden toppers, too!




However you might be celebrating Halloween this year, I hope you enjoy it!
