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, 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, 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, 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!

Craft Consortium, Happy Haunting, 'Owls' Halloween Decoration

Helz Cuppleditch brings you 'Happy Haunting'  in her latest release that's partnered with Craft Consortium.

If you have already seen the 6x6 papers I am using you will know that I've opted to use two owls from the additional toppers as the basis of today's project.  They are quirky, cute and fun all rolled into one!

Here's a few more photo's...

I do hope you've enjoyed seeing my mini owl shadow box project.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...

Craft Consortium, The Nativity, Storage Pot/Pencil Holder

I've taken a 'lateral thinking' move with today's post as I'm thinking ahead to Christmas with an idea that can still be used beyond the day itself...

I've used 6x6 papers and charms from the Craft Consortium 'Nativity' collection to create a 'gift pot' - the type used for sweets and chocolate that then gets wrapped in cellophane with a pretty big bow tied around the top.  Once empty, rather than throwing it out it can be reused as a pencil holder or a storage pot. 

To create this idea I've mixed up the toppers just a little bit and created a scene that shows what could pass for a little angel showing her soft toy bunny rabbit to a cat!  

Do you think it works?

This started off as the inner sections of two large empty tape rolls, glued together and wrapped in cereal box card.

Simply draw around the outside of the tubes several times, cut out and glue together to create a base.  

Then sand off any rough edges before painting and decorating...

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

It's always appreciated...
