Its Nearly Christmas

 

Hi and welcome to this weeks hop, you should have started at

Imagine If, and arrived here from Tashes blog

This week I am making a double sided Christmas tag with

movement. One side has snow (glitter) and the other side

has bells.

I used x 3 Tags from Imagine If .I had saved the clear plastic covers
from packaging. I chose some images to used from

After chosseing my images, I put the glitter into the plastic and

glued the images to the back to hold the glitter in

Next i covered my tage with paper and cut out a square to the

exact size as the plastic cover . I then glued this to a blank tag 

Above you see the dimention

 

I did the same for the other tag, but this time i added tiny bells

 

 

 

 

I then glued this tag to the back of my glitter tag to mack

it double sided

 

To decorate  I used tiny pine cones, berries and matching ribbon

 

Brenda from the Imagine If Design Team Kindly sent me a

container full of these cute looking pine cone babies

 

I used tiny lettering on one side of my tag and Imagine If lettering

on the other side

 

I covered the word "JOY" with gold glitter to match the bells

 

Added the matching ribbon to the top, this could be used to tie

the tag to something like a tree or parcel, what ever you decided

on really.

The words say "jingle bells jingle bells " These 3 photos are to
show you the movement of the glitter

 

I kept to 3 main colours  brown gold and red

Santas Sleigh

Welcome to this weeks blog hop, you should have come from

the Imagine If blog. This week I get to make Santa's sleigh

The sleigh comes in 4 pieces which means it is easy to

put together. You can paint it or cover it with paper as I have done.

I used one of the papers from Kaiser craft base coat

 Christmas collection  called flora I love the look it gave of

old worn wood, as below

 

 

Gold peal craft is great for Christmas stuff.

 

I positioned my paper so the dark line was along the sleigh ski.

I gessoed the bows then covered with green glitter and arranged

some green berries in the Centre

And this is the finished bow, love how it come out

When using small chipboard things like swirls , bows etc

the best thing to use to get into those small places that your

ink edger's wont go is a black memento pen, this is a must have

in my stash

I used gold  peal craft corners to make a snow flake on the

back of Santa`s seat and along the sides

I hope you have fun and get inspired to make your own sleigh
they are so much fun. Thanks for visiting my blog, your next
stop is at Brenda's blog :)

Storage Ideas

I am all ways looking for ways to store stuff and at the same time make
it easer to accesses .Im a bit of a hoarder ,I don't like to toss out stuff
because one day I just MIGHT use it lol

This week we are blog hopping,, starting at Imagine If ,
 you should have arrived here
from Brenda's Blog , Brenda has also been working on her storage
this week.

So here we go, I brought a plain folder , which I am going to add
some magnetic pages to hold my thin dies and also some
slick pages to hold my favorite cling stamps.

 Firstly I used the Imagine If circle stencil with whipped spackle

to create a back ground, I also made straight lines using a piece of

plastic

I missed a photo here, i then used a light green spray over it,

next I run my paint brush along the top full of paint so it would

run down the cover.

Next I pulled out the chip board

 ( have I told you before how much I LOVE chipboard ) lol

I then started gluing things on, I also added some metal and
other embellishments

below is a few close ups

I used cogs

Imagine If large clock Key

Beautiful finely cut flowers

And some mesh and cotton trim

ATC Halloween

I love Halloween , I think its the dressing up and decorating I love,

Its not a big thing here in New Zealand. so doing ATC cards is

my way of getting my fix of ghosts and ghouls .

Imagine If has a fabulous mix of things you can use for this.

 

 In this picture, the Bat and the head stone are from

the Halloween set

I loved this picture, its perfect for Halloween, I framed her

with one of the rectangle frames which I cut a small

section out of (to make it fit) then run through my cuttlebug,

the creepy old bare branch is from this set

HERE , and adds a touch of ewwww

 

Now I just LOVE this little Lizard ,hes from the bugs

and butterfly's set  :) and I tried to

make Mr pumpkin look angry lol not sure I got the look.

and again iv used that bare branch set
