Masculine treat holder tags.

Hi friends,

hope you are well!

Tonight I am sharing these masculine treat holder tags

that i made a couple of days ago.

I wanted to make something for men, but these are great for us gals too! 

Each one contains two individual Earl Grey tea bags, but can be

replaced with other goodies.

Here i have used the stamp set 'getting there' by Tim Holtz

to create this tag. I have also used jet black Stazon ink to stamp the images onto 

this paper from my craft stash. 

I have wrapped the tea bag treats in clear cello card bags 

and tied them with some Anitas ribbon.

I have used the same stamp set for all of these tags, 

the ticket has been stamped onto Kraft card stock 

which i cut out and i have used

some pop dots to give it some dimension.

Thanks once again for stopping by to take a look

Family day out at Dudley Zoo and Castle

Hi friends,

hope you are well?

Yesterday was such a great day, the weather was so hot and we decided 

to have a family day out at Dudley Zoo and Castle. 

It was great to spend some quality family time together and my best friends' 

daughter came along too.

Here is a photo of the magnificent Castle which dates back to 

the eleventh century. 

I love ancient ruins and the thought of stepping into a building where 

so much history has taken place is wonderful. 

I love the fact that you are actually stepping in the same 

footsteps of someone else from hundreds 

of years ago! 

It was a pleasure to get so close to all the beautiful animals

however, i would much prefer to see them in their natural habitat. 

I'm such a huge fan of the big cats, so getting this close to this majestic

 tiger without getting eaten alive was amazing!! 

Lemur wood was great as we were so close to these 

beautiful animals. 

loved seeing the snakes in the reptile house. 

Thanks once again for stopping by 

Have a great day everyone.

Hemlock Spiderweb... captured fairy.

Hi again friends,

hope that you are well!

Here is another captured fairy that i made yesterday evening.

I really enjoy making these and as you probably know by now, I 

absolutely LOVE fairies...

well, anything magickal really... unicorns, mermaids, Angels..

you name it! 

This beautiful fae is called

Hemlock Spiderweb, she was captured on 18.08.16

She grants wishes and she lives close to vixen and badger sets

 and can only be seen in the midst of an early morning. 

Again I have used a mini spice jar to create this and have added 

gorgeous trims in tones of silver and black to match her wings. 

For the Inside I have used a book page which I adhered to the back 

 of the jar using Modge podge.

I then adhered the fae on to some twigs using my hot glue gun and

I scattered some sparkly white fibres around her feet.

Here is what the back of the jar looks like.

I have used the tattered florals die by Tim Holtz

to create this large flower and used black soot distress ink and Ranger 

perfect pearls mist in the colour pewter to create this look. 

I then added an ivory flat back pearl to the centre. 

Finally I attached a small hinge clip to the side 

of the jar to hold the ribbon in place. 

Thanks once again for stopping by

Captured fairy

Hello friends,

hope you are well! 

I've been busy hunting around in my garden at the fairy den and I have finally

managed to capture some magickal Fae! 

Here is Feather Goldwand she was captured on 11/08/16

she likes to steal shiny coins and pretty trinkets.

She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth. 

and she can only be seen when the seeker holds a 

four leafed clover. 

To create this I have used a 

 mini spice jar and I have heavily embellished this with lots of gorgeous trims from

my own craft stash. 

I adhered a book page to the inside of the jar using modge podge to create a 

background for my fairy. 

For the lid, I adhered a flower that i made

 using the tattered florals die by Tim Holtz, which i 

sprayed with Tattered angels choc covered cherries glimmer mist.

Once dry I then added some more sparkle to the edges of the flower 

using platinum stickles. 

I also created a mini tag using Kraft card stock

and wrote about the fae that i captured. 

I've also attached matching ribbon to the top of this 

and adhered a single cream flower with

added platinum stickles to give it a bit of extra sparkle! 

Anyway guys, thanks once 

again for stopping by my blog.

I really hope that you like this ?

Halloween coffin treat boxes

Hi friends, 

Hope you are well.

I know, I know! I'm a little early for halloween this year, but as you know we crafters like to start early on our holiday projects! 

I've been making these Spooktacular halloween coffin treat boxes, which can be used not only for candy, but for jewellery as well. 

I found a free template off Martha Stewarts website and printed it out, if you go over to there you'll be able to find it along with instructions.

Once I had cut out and assembled the template in black cardstock, I then started to decorate the lid of the coffin. I have used papers from the Carta Bella all hallows eve collection. 

I have also used a skull cameo embellishment from my craft stash and adhered that onto the lid.

I created my own black rose using the Tim Holtz tattered florals die and used leaf die cuts and black and cream resin flowers.

Here are some other designs that I have made.

I have loved making these coffin treat boxes, hope you like them too? 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look, please feel free as always to leave a comment, it would be very much appreciated.

Pen-pal flip book (happy mailing!)

Hi again friends,

I've been pen-palling for ten years now and have made some wonderful friends through doing so, it means that I can travel the world with my heart. Here I have made a pen-pal flip book, perfect for snail mail, mail art and post crossing. 

I have made this by using a ready scored kraft card and for the cover I have used a sheet of vintage looking paper from my stash and then I stamped over it using a variety of Tim Holtz stamps. I have also adhered a butterfly sticker and fussy cut stamped images.

Underneath the clock stamp I have adhered some vintage script ribbon (also the same ribbon has been adhered to the back of the book to make a closure)

Here I have used Kaisercraft texture stamps and a Tim Holtz French script stamp in Vintage photo distress ink and stamped the whole of the inside of the flip book.  

I have made an inside pocket using a piece of Tim Holtz paper, that I adhered to the left hand side of the flip book, and used this gentleman stamp by Hero arts, which was stamped onto kraft cardstock. 

I have made some tags to go inside of the pocket, the stamps I have used are Tim Holtz and a post card stamp to create my own postcards.

On the right hand side of the flip book I have created another pocket using the same Tim Holtz paper and adhered washi tape down the centre and also added an idea-ology adage ticket. 

Mini mail art envelopes

I made these by using manilla envelopes, which I cut to the desired size. 

Here I have used stampers anonymous french market clear stamps and the violette rubber stamp from the Hampton art old curiosity shoppe set two, to create the background. 

These delightful cherubs were from kraft envelopes that I purchased a few months ago; I have fussy cut these out and adhered them onto my envelopes. 

Thanks once again for stopping by my blog,

Alice in Wonderland

Hello everyone,

Today I'm bringing you my Alice in wonderland artwork, my nineteen year old daughter has always been a huge Alice fan since she was little, so she's the inspiration behind these. I wanted to make  something very special to give thanks to her for being my best friend and for everything that she does  I am truly blessed to be her momma. 

Alice in Wonderland altered frame

To make this i used a wooden photo frame and i primed it with white Gesso, i then used some Lindy's stamp gang sprays in blue Hawaiian blue and a bit o' bubbly and perfect pearls mists in blue patina.

I then used some modelling paste and a Tim Holtz Harlequin stencil to get a layered effect, when dry i sprayed some more Lindy's stamp gang. Once i had finished decorating the entire frame, i then added this wonderful image of Alice and the Mad hatters tea party. 

Here i have used some delightful wooden Alice embellishments that i ordered offline and have used some white cherry blossoms and blue roses, and a few metal key and clock charms,  I have filled a small glass vial bottle with some tiny blue pearl beads. 

I decorated the entire frame using the same embellishments and painted them with white gesso. 

I wanted to try my hand at some altered mail art and here i have used a plain white envelope, sprayed with Lindy's stamp gang sprays. Once dry, i then used a variety of Tim Holtz layering stencils with  picket fence distress paint and broken china distress ink. 

When the background was completely dry, i then used a cheshire cat stamp, Alice quote stamps and a Tim Holtz harlequin and curiosity quote stamp. 

Alice and the white rabbit were stamped onto water colour cardstock and coloured with Docrafts artiste pens. I cut these images out and adhered them onto the envelope. To complete the look i drew some hearts freehand and used xmas red stickles to give them some added sparkle. 

Thanks once again for stopping by to take a look at my blog, comments are always welcome.
