Crafters Companion DT make - Nordic Christmas

Good morning folks, hope you are all ok and have a lovely weekend ahead.

I've been busy making something for my Grandson Bradley. A Santa stop here sign to hang on his door.

I used the gorgeous Nordic Christmas CD from Crafters Companion.

I used one of the quick cards and printed off the largest size to make the base. I just covered a piece of grey board and then rounded the corners.

I then created the wording on my laptop using Kristen ITC font, then die cut and glued on to a fancy die cut mat. 

I printed off a couple of embellishment sheets fro the CD, then fussy cut the Santa, some holly and a parcel. I added a bit of glitter to these before adding to the sign using some foam pads.

After punching holes in the top and bottom, I threaded through some paper covered wire which I curled around an embossing tool. I then attached jingle bells to the ends of the bottom wires to finish.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I'll be back later for a catch up.

Santa Please Stop Here

Hi folks, hope you are all having a lovely week.

I've beenbusy this last couple of days making some Santa stop here door hangers.

I recently bought some wooden blanks from Ebay and decided to have a play with some very cute LOTV pre-coloured images. These, by the way are on offer over at LOTV, 3 for £10. I know! Amazing offer!

I created the wording on my laptop, added some papers, glitter, scrim, dewdrops & gems.

Crafters Companion DT card

Good morning folks, hope you are all well and having a lovely weekend.

I've been a busy bunny this last week making cards and mdf hanging shapes as I had my first Christmas Craft Fair yesterday. So I haven't had the chance to blog anything. Although I really enjoy doing Craft Fairs it does take a lot of time making stuff and the mess that goes with it is crazy. My craftroom looks like I've left the windows open and everything has blown everywhere. So that's one of my jobs for today. It could take me a while though.

So anyhoo! here's my Crafters Companion Inspirational DT make.

I used : Angelica & Adam CD Rom from Crafters Companion

Downton Abbey Dies from Crafters Companion

Die'sire Edge'ables from Crafters Companion

Bo-Bunny paper pad
