Fun in the Sun - Hunkydory

These are a few makes from my Fun in the Sun luxury decoupage bundle shows by Hunkydory on Create and Craft today.

Cut kittens decoupage matted and layered on adorable scorable card and an acetate wrap to protect the decoupage.

This one was made from the Second Little Book of Decoupage, such a tranquil image, teamed with adorable scorable.

A fabulous biking scene from the decoupage main set of Fun in the Sun.

 

One for the sporty man, love the coloured in this one made on one of the fancy fold cards (easel) and one of the images from the Second Little book of Decoupage.

Another fancy fold card this one being a triple easel card And some of the Decoupage main bundle Fun in the Sun.

Hunkydorys acetate is a dream to work with, it does what you want it to do, in this one it is embossed with an embossing folder and made into the front of the card and the back of the card is one of the Adorable Scorable cards cut down to an A5 size.

 

A box made up and decorated using the background sheet for the decoupage image.

 

More shows tomorrow at 9am, 4pm and then Ruth with take over and do the 7pm show.

An evening with Jack

We had a card making evening, Jack informs me that he loves to craft and that he saves bottles and toilet roll cardboard to craft with but his Mam is very naughty and keeps throwing it out ha ha! his mam informs me that he hides them in his bed and then they spill over onto the floor and his bedroom is like a pigsty.

Somehow I believe his Mam but one thing is for sure, he has a flare for crafting and loves it when we craft together.

The Hunkydory Magazine from Create and Craft had not one but two paper crafting packs free with it and Jack fell in love with this set.

He added all of the foam pads did all of the gluing, added dew drops to look like bubbles in the sea, button and bow, all I did was cut down the background card and tied the bow.

He even added an insert from the Little Book of Poetry and then wrote out the card.

Oh and yes, a button did find its way into his trouser pocket.

I think we should all encourage our children to craft, the sense of achievement is immense.

Jack now has his own crafting box with loads of bits in to craft with.

Little Pearl Dress

I thought I’d squeeze this one in, I am driving down to Peterborough tomorrow ready for shows on Create and Craft Friday 24th April at 10am and 4pm with Hunkydory. I’ve been busy busy prepping for the shows and I know I have some amazing deals on there so don’t miss it.

I want to show you some ways of using the fabulous little books and here is a sneaky peek.

I’m planning to squeeze into something like this for my Daughters wedding in 2016, well that is the plan.

I’m on first at 10am with Leoni so I think we will make a couple of these to show you how.

Spring has Flower burst with Couture.

It has took me some time to get this together, little bits here and there when I was feeling well enough but with the help of Hunkydory Adorable Scorable and Glitter Glaze card stock, My Silhoutte Portrait and the Couture Flower Burst die collection I got there in the end.

Even the center flower was made using the Flower Burst die collection.

I figured you might like to know that the flower was made using a couple of the reflection set dies.

  

Songbird Collection

Today I should have been at Create and Craft with the Couture Collection cutting dies but unfortunately I ended up quite poorly with an underarm abscess and had to have surgery on Monday.

I had planned to do this project as one of my demo’s and had all of the pieces cut out so I’ve put it together to show you here.

The 6 sided milk carton box was made from a 4 sided template I had but it worked out pretty good after a little alteration, the songbird collect was used, this is the reflection dies.

As you can see it makes the perfect gift box.

Don’t forget the Couture collection are on special offer buy one and get one free if you are a member of the Create and Craft Club, this is a mahousive saving.

one more show tonight at 7pm so don't miss out.

Couture Dies with Sign Vinyl

Something was bugging me, I had to try it out, Will the Couture dies cut sign vinyl to make home decor.

I knew it would cut through the vinyl but was unsure if it would wrinkle or if I would be able to transfer it in one piece after cutting it or even if it would release from the die.

Well the proof is in the pudding (so to speak) so I took a leap of faith, purchased a glass brick block drilled a hole through it (ok I got Chris to drill the hole) and here is the finished result.

Something different for Couture Dies

We always seam to focus on card making don’t we? so, lets mix it up a little.

This one was made using The adoring Collection and also Mariposa Collection.

Yes it is Chris and myself, one for the scrapbook.

Now my next one is a Beautiful gift box using the Mariposa Collection from Couture Dies.

a closer look at the lid.

Pretty huh?

A Couture Christmas

This is the card where I mixed and matched the Couture Die collections to make a Christmas Card, I really love how this turned out, using the Trim set from Enchanted Escapes and the Deco Boutique collection Templates and Corner sets.

Using the Buttermilk Basal card stock and the Satin board, some stickles glitter glue, gold thread, distress inkpad and a bit of love.

A pretty mock silk ribbon and a pretty scrollwork pearl.

and a recycled Christmas card from last year.
