Craft Consortium, Bluebells And Buttercups, Gift Bag With Matching Tag Set

 I've taken just one 12x12 page from the new Bluebells And Buttercups collection to create this delightful little gift bag and matching tag set...

Here's just a quick peep at the decorative inside of the bag , which depicts cute picnic baskets filled with delicious cakes...

A side view shows how the Nature theme continues with a bird peeping out of its nest...

And the back shows a fun loving critter...

This was very easy to make.  Just add a touch of ink to the sky and a few well placed additional toppers...

I always appreciate you stopping by...

Craft Consortium, Bluebells And Buttercups, Nursery Picture (Framed)

 Keeping it simple!

This framed Nursery Inspired scene uses just one of the many gorgeous additional toppers you will find in the new 12x12 paper pad from Craft Consortium.  Entitled 'Bluebells and Buttercups' it's just perfect for all who adore cute imagery...

 

*

I've simply layered two complimentary papers as the background, cut out one extra bee and added an internal tree branch frame (own stash) before framing it in a simple soft white colour.  The building blocks are also from my own personal stash.  

(Please feel free to get in touch if you need to know who makes these).

Here's just one more photo of the cute little critter who's been inspiring my Nursery themed projects...

Many thanks (as always) for stopping by...

Craft Consortium, Bluebells and Buttercups, All Aboard The Animal Train

It's 'all aboard the Animal Train' with Helz's latest release, which is as super cute for Easter crafts as it is for all things baby related!

*

As you can see, I've taken a small wooden train set and given it a nursery style 'home décor' makeover using a mix of wooden toppers and additional toppers that you will find in the 12x12 set of papers.  

This is the first of a few baby themed posts that I'll be sharing with you over the next week or so.  

Why not tune in tomorrow - 4.30pm (GMT) on the Create and Craft Channel to see the full range for yourself?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Craft Consortium, Tell The Bees (Special Edition), Mini Album (Part 1)

Hello everyone!

Tell The Bees (Special Edition) has its official launch day today!

See it HERE over at Craft Consortium...

As it's a first for the company I wanted to celebrate by making a 6x6 mini album that holds 6 pages full of flaps, folds, pockets and envelopes, but rather than have a substantially 'photo heavy' post I've chosen to break this down into a post per page. 

Before that however, there's a front cover...

As you can see, I've included papers from the Ink Drops collections as well as the decorative circle from the Dienamix 'Live Laugh Love' cutting dies.

This stamped on tissue paper and pasted on bee that you can partially see echos an element you will notice on several pages of the album...

And here is my bee charm...  no longer gold but painted with acrylics to give it a worn, aged look.

Thank you for stopping by!

Part 2 coming soon...

Craft Consortium, Woodland/Ink Drops, Mini Cards And Envelope Set

I've created a 'mini cards and envelope set' using some of the most adorable illustrations from Craft Consortium's 'Woodland' collection...  and paired them up using envelopes from their Essential Craft Papers range called Ink Drops/Vivid.

Sometimes a mini card is all you need! 

 

In case you were wondering, the holder has been covered using the Essential Craft Papers 'Metal Textures' collection...  I just love the way it works so well with those vivid ink drop colours.

Stay warm!

Craft Consortium, Woodland, Gift Card/Money Holder

This is my first post of 2021...  so I guess I should say 'Happy New Year' to you!

Shopping for gifts isn't always easy, so here's a stylish way of giving a gift voucher/gift card or money instead...

Do you like the way that the wooden topper is hidden away until you open it up?

I'm sure this little cutie will bring a smile to someone's face!

(Quick tip...  grab two or three credit/debit/membership type cards from your purse and place them 'in situ' where the gift card will go before securing the sides to make it easier to put the gift card in once finished.  I actually went so far as to stitch both sides of this one before  covering it with a lace edge).

If you like the craft die 'enjoy' that I have used on here today you'll be pleased to know it's also available from Craft Consortium.

It is bitterly cold outside today, so stay warm!
