Day 2

Hi all, here I am with the second tag.

I think it was a bit more challenging for me today than yesterday. But anyway it turned out OK.

I used kraft resist paper from the original kraft resist pad. I covered the tag with picket fence stain and then stamped a few snowflakes in blue and embossed them with clear embossing powder. I stamped and embossed pine trees as well. I cut a chipboard house and covered it with sticky back canvas. Then I decorated with some words and charms.

Let's see what tomorrow will bring,

12 tags of Christmas

Hi all, over at Crafting Ireland, Nicole decided to go and join in the fun creating all the 12 tags of Christmas. I said I would try and join in too, but you know me, I'm not a regular blogger. Anyway I try my best.
So this is what I came up with after seeing Tim's tag:

Since I haven't got the pine cone die, I tried to look for something that I can use for doing the pine cone. So I found the Spellbinders Blossom 2 die and made the cone with it.
I cut the greenery by hand and also used some punches.
Hopefully I'm back tomorrow with another tag,

Winter village advent calendar

Hi All, I just want to share with you the 3D advent calendar I created using the beautiful Basic Gray Nordic Holiday papers.

This is a big project but I really enjoyed assembling all the little houses. I wrote a tutorial on it in Crafting Ireland Issue 5.

I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by,

World's Card Making Day - bit delayed :)

Hi all, I want to show you a card that I made for World's Card Making Day, 1st October. It was published on Crafting Ireland's blog, but I never got around to show it to you too. It is with a technique that I had to try. I saw something very similar on Ellen Huston's Classroom, so I made my own version of it. What you need is your Promarkers and Alcohol blending solution from Ranger. I coloured in a grid with different colours from the same colour family and when dried just dropped some of the blending solution on it. After I stamped the car and added some doodles with white pen on the black paper. That's it. It was a real quick make.

Hope you like it :)

Tomorrow I'm off to Harrogate, England to participate in Dina Wakley's workshop :D Can't wait.

My first ever digi LO

This is a digi layout I made following the sketch over at Crafting Ireland. This is my first ever digi LO, but I have to say I enjoyed doing it a lot. I used a free digi kit, I downloaded from Everyday Mom Ideas.

Photos were taken at my mum's birthday this week, and we used photocabine.com

Missing in action

Hi everyone, I'm back again. I was missing in action. There were lots and lots of things happening and I hardly had any time to do some crafts. I made a card for a wedding. It was a very quick card ;)

This is the real clean and simple. It's not really my style, but it turned out OK. I couldn't resist some texture, so I placed the sentiment onto little foam squares.
Thanks for visiting me,



PS: don't forget about Crafting Ireland Issue 4 is out on 19th September ;)
