LOTV Door Hanger

Good morning, are you having a good weekend? Hope so. The weather could be better couldn't it? At least it's not raining here, yet.

I have a little door hanger to show you that I made for using some scrummy papers and the gorgeous stitched stamps from LOTV.

It was really easy to make, I cut out a rocking horse shape 6 times on my Cameo using some cheap white card, I get mine from the pound shop. It's just perfect for the job.

I then glued the six together and popped under something heavy to dry. It becomes really sturdy.

I you haven't got a cutting machine then you could cut out the rocking horse shape by hand. There are a few free shapes out there on the web, that you can draw round.

I then added some patterned paper on top, again cut on the Cameo. Some ribbon, lace, a button & some paper wrapped wire as a hanger to finish.

Using a Spellbinders die I cut out 3 in the white card & 1 in the patterned paper, then layered them all up as before. I added another die cut panel on top.

I stamped the letters onto a contrasting paper, cut out and shaped from behind using a ball tool & foam mat.

I attached them to the plaque using silicone glue. I added some punched flowers & leaves. A couple of wooden buttons and paper wrapped wire to join it to the rocking horse.

I used: Up Up & Away and Pastel Dreams paper pads from LOTV

Stitched Alphabet Stamp Set from LOTV

Silhouette Cameo

Spellbinders dies

Woodware punches

Lace, ribbon, paper covered wire & buttons from stash

Craftroom sort out

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

We've had horrible weather here this morning, so I decided as I was indoors I would have a HUGE craftroom sort out. I found a few things I forgot about, some stamps I had two of (more about those later) and lots & lots of dust bunnies. Wonder why they're called that?

Anyhoo! I took a few pics as I know it will not be this tidy and clean for long.

Here is the view from the door.

The black wall art you can see on the walls was all cut out on my Cameo.

Here is my Welsh dresser, I love it! It's the second one I have renovated, I sold the first one, which was smaller when I found this one in a second hand shop. As you can see it's full of lot's of scrummy things that I have either been bought by my lovely family or bought myself, most of them are from mine & Hubby's vintage & second hand shop trips.

Here are my picnic basket collection, all full of ribbons & other crafty bits. My Dad gave me my first one ( the bottom one ) quite a few years ago and I have got the rest from second hand shops.

Another of my finds below, It's an egg hutch and was only £3 I added a Gorjuss Girl brad as a handle and now it's home to my ink pads.

Here are my owl buddies, Ely ( our youngest kitty ) is a bit freaked out by them. 

Some more owls, here on my very comfy cushion.

And some more still. Yep! I LOVE owls.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my craftroom, I'm still surprised how tidy it is.

As I said earlier I found a couple of duplicate stamp whilst tidying. So I will be back later with those as a little Blog Candy.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Hope you all have a lovely afternoon.
