Fiskarettes Design Team Reach For The Stars

I am very happy and honoured to reveal today that I have joined the talented Fiskars UK Design Team. I will be creating with them for the next 3 months. I have been crafting since I was old enough to use scissors, and I have always used Fiskars scissors and trimmers. I have found them to be of the highest quality and never let me down.

My first project for Fiskarettes UK is ‘Reach For The Stars”

I painted the box frame in a metallic white paint and punched stars out of masking paper and placed them over the top. I then painted over the frame in blue paint, and when dry I  removed the stars.

For the hills I used the circle punch and folded them in half and overlapped them, adhering them together.I covered the hills in texture paste before painting them.

I used invisible thread to hang  one of the glittery stars from the inside top of the frame

The lovely girl Stamp is drawn by the amazingly talented, Phyllis Harris and made by  Unity Stamps 

Thank you for visiting and Happy 2018 xx

“What does that beautiful star on top of the tree mean?”asked the curious hare

“It means that Jesus Christ our Lord has been born” replied the proud stag.

“When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe”

I would like to thank everyone for all of your kindness and support. 

Merry Christmas xxx

Matthew 7:12; 'So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Meeting Under The Mistletoe

If you remember my story from 12th December about the hare waiting under the mistletoe, this is the next installment.

For the next 11 days he continued to wash and fluff himself, and travelled to the three pines, to stand hopefully under the mistletoe.. but nobody ever came.

On the 12th day which also happened to be Christmas Eve, he decided this would be his very last visit. He hopped along with hope forever in his heart. As soon as he turned the corner into the three pines he saw the most beautiful and dazzling lady hare waiting patiently under the mistletoe.

She was waiting just for him....

Deer Globe

Hello how are your Christmas makes going - not long until the big day now.I have been playing with Luscious powders, Indigoblu Winterland Wood Stamp Set and a round spice jar !

 I used a glue called “special glue”  it is very thin, and is used for Glass & Plastic Baubles

I poured a small amount into the  spice jar, and rolled it around the back and sides of the jar.

I selected my Luscious colours and placed a small amount on a thin strip of card and shook it into the jar. 

I used  the smallest deer from the Winterland Wood Set and stamped him onto card and fussy cut him.

I then spooned some fine texture paste into the cork lid and stood the deer, and some dried flowers into it, and followed with a sprinkling of Unicorn Sparkles.

I addied a finishing touch by plaiting some Raffia and then tied it around the cork lid.Then with great care I pushed the deer into the jar and pushed the cork lid shut.

Thank you for visiting me today, please take a look at the Indigoblu blog to see what other creations the talented team have come up with.

Fairy Christmas Tree

Well our Christmas tree is finally up, and so far this year it has stayed up! We have a much stronger and easier base for it now, so fingers crossed !There are a lot of mischevious  fairies on our tree....

A quick and easy Christmas card, this time using Lavinia Stamps. I created the background with Dye inks, and used Texture Paste mixed with ultra fine glitter for my snow. I heat embossed the snowy white snowflakes, then coloured and glittered the die cuts.  

I would like to enter “Believe”into the Creative Artiste Challenge and Sisterhood of Crafters All about Christmas and Words to Craft By Christmas

Thank you for visiting, I hope your Christmas plans are all going smoothly xx
