Christmas with Hunkydory

Stoke up the fire, light the candles close the curtains and snuggle down for the Christmas Craftintaor launching tonight on Create and Craft at 7pm.

Everything you think of about Christmas and so much more in these set of 4 Christmas themes, Festive Splendour, Christmas Cuddles, Christmas Traditions and Winter Wonderland.

This card was made from the Festive Splendour Set.

Using a background sheet and a topper.

Oh yes and of course some pink and mint Adorable Scorable

Don't forget 7pm Create and Craft.

Shimmering Pearl

It’s fast approaching my Mams Birthday and being a garden lover and a bird feeder I thought it would have to be something featuring this, Shimmering Pearl from Hunkydory was the perfect choice, it is now available at Hunkydory to purchase and it would be rude not to pop in your basket some of the Adorable Scorable and foiled acetate while you are there ha ha!

The center panel has foiled acetate domed over the the birdcage and ribbon to add a bit of extra design, I used two of the sumptuous backgrounds for the card cutting panels from each and a sheet of the die cut elements.

The little birds are just gorgeous with their gold accents.

Using one of the inserts for the inside and a few diamond sparkle gems on the front my card was complete.

Cold Porcelain Flowers

What a fabulous start to the bank holiday weekend, a day making cold porcelain flowers at

Craft-e-Liza

Here is what I made today. Snowdrops and Crocus.

They even survived a 140 mile trip home.

I have been promising myself a try at this and when the chance came along I grasped it with both hands.

Meryl makes you very welcome and I spent the day with fabulous company our Ruth from Hunkydory having a good old chin wag and giggle.

If like Ruth and myself you used to do sugar craft then this relaxing craft will be right up your street.

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.

Jack Glass Blowing and Special Gifts

We have had a wonderful day out today, you may remember me visiting the Sunderland Glass Center as I wrote a post on it. We took Jack and his Mam Lauren along with us today and it was very special, Jack even got the chance to try his hand at glass blowing. (see video at end of my post)

We also had a little tour and Chris’s Friend gave both Jack and myself a beautiful hand crafted gift each.

This one is mine.

and this one is Jacks

Dave makes these to sell and they cost £20.00 but all are unique and would make beautiful gifts, just let me know if you would like to purchase one and I will pass your details on to Dave.

Mine actually holds 16floz that is 3/4 of a pint.

Handles can be made in many colours one of which I saw was a gorgeous pink.

here is the video of our Grandson Jack blowing the glass.
