Challenge 154 - Anything Goes


Hi! Welcome to a new week here at Crafty Gal Corner  with a this week challenge- Anything Goes. Our fantastic sponsor is Faery Ink and the Prize is 3 Digital Images!

I have used Arielle Ice Skater Oopsie .... isn't it cute 😉 and I coloured it with Copics and some Unicorn Glitters. I used Doohickey Rounded Frame to die-cut the topper and matted it on Craft & You Design Paper die-cut by Doohickey Recipe Card Die.

I cut the base card with GoKreate XXL Frame Frilly 9 and matted it with Craft & You Design - White Christmas and I added the Winter Wishes Icicles by Joycrafts and Let it Snow by Florartistry

That's it folks! It's a clean and simple card for me this time which is usually for me lol but less is more sometimes 😊 I hope you will join us at Crafty Gals Corner  and show us your creative creations!

Skiing Tilda & Skiing Edwin Christmas Shaker Ornaments

Let’s Craft and Create Challenge 132 - Anything Christmas Goes  

Skiing Tilda and Skiing Edwin shaker ornaments


Today is our reminder for Challenge 132 - Anything Goes ( option Christmas) at Let's Craft and Create and I hope you can join in and share your creations with us. Here is my DT inspiration for the reminder - 2 hanging shaker ornaments using Skiing Tilda and Skiing Edwin which I coloured with Distress Inks and cut out by hand.

The frames are cut using Just Cutz stitched circles dies with holographic silver cardstock. I used white cardstock for the background and blended it with weathered wood and tumble glass distress inks 

I die cut a round white cardstock the same size as the frame and tore a strip to make hills and I adhered wet glue all over it and added some glitter flakes and stuck to the background with foam pads.

The houses and clouds were cut from Snowglobe by Tim Holtz Dies and coloured by Distress Ink and the Trees from Sue Wilson Creative Expressions which I coloured by Distress Ink and added glitter flakes

That's it! I hope you like them 😉

 Foamiran Flowers Shabby Chic Wintry Birdcage

I altered this lovely metal birdcage with foamiran roses and poinsettias with some gorgeous microbead stamens and microbead berries all of which you can find in Shawn's store here. There are some lovely new products just arrived make sure you check them out.

I started by taking the back panel off and used rust patina paint to touch up here and there and then the cage as well. Then I used some modelling paste over a stencil to create some textures. When its all dried I begun to assemble my flowers and embellishments.

I have added silver glitter acrylic paint to the petals and leaves and also glitter snow paste 

The Lantern and metal word plates are from Tim Holtz 

Aren't these birds cute? They are from my stash and  I made the nest with sisal and a couple of polystyrene eggs for these love birds 😀

   

I have added a lot of aquamarine natural moss and art stones and snow glitter paste here and there to set a wintry look 😉

I hope you like my project.

Foamiran Poinsettia Step-Out Tutorial

Hi!

Today I am showing you how I made my poinsettias in an easy step by step tutorial... hers's my card which I used white foamiran and green stamens instead but techniques are the same , you can find these gorgeous products in Shawn's store you must check out the new stock of stamens and berries too! They are to die for 😋

Cut 2 of the larger template and 1 of the small template. You can use the Whimsy Stamps Poinsettia Die but at the moment in time I haven’t got them. If you have any poinsettia dies, you can do the same 

Use a craft iron or normal iron and mine is on Cotton setting, each iron may varies so it’s best to test it first. The petal will curl, then I do a concertina fold and roll it between my fingers

Continue to do this to all the petals and they will look like this 

Then I gently unfold the petal only on the wider part and use a ball tool on a sponge and press until it looks like this 

Do this to all the petals like the picture below

Put a drop of hot glue to the centre - domed petals up - and off-set the next petals on top and the same to the smaller petals.

Use a 5mm ball tool or a wooden stick and press down on a sponge

Then I used a pokey tool to make a hold in the centre for the stamens 

I used about 10 double-head stamens and pushed them through 

I put hot glue on the back side of stamens to secure them and trimmed off the excess stalk. You can have your poinsettia as it is. I made mine shabby by adding some glitter paint but it’s optional, it’s my style 😊 

Hope you like them and give it a try .
