Craft Consortium, At Home In The Wildflowers, 'Digging In The Garden' Decorated Box

If there is one thing I know about blackbirds it is that they like to dig...  

...  and digging makes a mess!

So here's a decorated gift box that embraces the very nature of all things 'Blackbird'!

I've also used Craft Consortium's 'Always and Forever Non Shedding A4 Glitter Card - Silver' for the butterflies, but that is currently out of stock so no link for that right now.

Craft Consortium, English Garden, Mini Book

I love making mini things, so when I saw a new Eileen Hull release for a mini book I just knew I would have to get it!

...  And what do you do with something so tiny, so dinky, so cute..?

You use your beautiful Craft Consortium papers to decorate it, of course!

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!

Happy Little Stampers, ATC Challenge, Bling

This is my last post for a while as I'm moving!

Not only to a new house, but to a whole new town and a whole new way of life...  

The house is a renovation project so we'll be busy for a while, but my priority will be getting my craft room up and running smoothly just as soon as I can.

It's just that it's going to take a long, long while!

*

My post for today shows a theme I'm less than comfortable with...  'Bling' just really isn't me at all!

So I've opted for a subtle style of bling that still heavily relies on lots of shimmer and shine.

A fair compromise in my book!

Do head on over to Kylie's blog and click on her challenge pages.

ATC's are just one of her many, many  challenge options... 
so you are sure to find at least one you enjoy!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by today...

Tag You're It, 25 Days of Christmas, Guest Designer Post

Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags is in its final week.

Have you had a chance to play along?

I'm Guest Designing for today using this pretty 'Morning Bird' die from BirchPress Designs, who are today's sponsors.

I've used half the bird die, layered it up and then inked using Holtz 'Hickory Smoke' before adding some touches of Silver gilding wax.

Foliage stamps and sentiment are by Memory Box (Sister company to BirchPress).

Some ink splattering, red enamel dots and touches of Texture Paste for snow complete this simple tag.

(Embossing Folder from my own personal stash).

Head on over (using the link above) for your chance to join in...

Craft Consortium, Over The Hedge, 'Swatch Style' Notebook

Notebooks come in all shapes and sizes, so why not create a 'swatch style' version using every paper available from the Craft Consortium 'Over The Hedge' collection..?

That way you'll never forget which paper pad you are looking for when searching for a particular pattern!

(Label the back so you don't forget)!

Here's mine...  just to give you an idea of what I mean...

I'm not going to show you each and every single page.  

Just a few so you can see what I've done!

...  and don't worry.  That big rectangle on the left isn't upside down.  I've just twisted the tag on itself to take the photo!

Do you like this idea?

I know that some people find it difficult to cut into their paper pads and was thinking that perhaps if they made something like this they would always have a keepsake from it?

Want to have a go and making one for yourself?

Stay warm!

Craft Consortium, Grunge Papers - Light And Dark Tones, Decorative Hanging Mobile

I wanted to make something a little bit different to showcase at least some of the gorgeous new Grunge Papers that are now being sold by Craft Consortium.

I also had an old indoor hanging mobile that used to belong to my mum that was in need of a massive overhaul of some kind.

This is what I ended up making...

Exceptionally difficult to get any decent photos of this that do it justice, but here goes..!

Would you believe that this started off as a heap of cereal box offcuts?

I'ver simply used Tim Holtz Collage Medium to glue these gorgeous papers on and have four glued and die cut layers per shape.  

Finish with some Varnish spray and these become both durable and protected.
