Winter Wonderland Hunkydory
One of the cards from Winter Wonderland Christmas Pack by Hunkydory.
I love this tree topper as it has a glow to it and is embellished with encapsulated diamond sparkles.
This collection contains an impressive 40 300gsm Adorable Scorable Topper Sheets and 80 coordinating 350gsm Foiled and Printed Cardstock Sheets, as well as some that have been enhanced with encapsulated Diamond Sparkles Glitter. It is still available at Create and Craft at the Craftinator price here

Festive Splendour Hunkydory
I’m all for using up all of my bits and pieces when buying a kit and this seamed the perfect way, after using a couple of the toppers to make cards I can find that I have spares on the sheet and occasionally a background card too.
Festive Splendour from Hunkydory has so many pretty background sheets that I thought it would make a perfect designer gift box to accompany the card I had made.
I also used some Adorable Scorable for the box base in a contrasting colour.
Now pop in a few home made sweets or maybe cookies and you have the perfect Christmas treat in a beautiful gift box.

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
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.

Mammas Dress
Some things just take you back to your childhood don’t they?
This dress does it for me, my Mam used to make most of her dresses and this would totally have been her style.
Made using the Hunkydory Glitter Glaze card and one of the Creative Crafting World big base cards.
A few pretty paper blossoms from Orchid Crafts
Coloured with Alcohol markers.

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.

New Beginnings With Hunkydory
I can finally reveal that I will be doing some work with Hunkydory, we all know what amazing quality their paper craft is and when they ask if i could do some TV shows for them I was delighted. I’ve been playing with A Little Book of….. and some of the Adorable Scorable.
This card was made using A little Book of Flowers and The Second Book of Poetry.
A double twist easel card with a straight easel center.
Such pretty designs
and such beautiful poetry.
