Sweet Treats Gingerbread House

Hello!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend, I am here today to share a little gift that I made for a friend of mine, now I know that she has received it I can share it with you.

As many of you know Crafter's Companion released some new embossing boards recently and they are quite simply AMAZING!!. I have adapted the birdhouse on the Sweet Things Board to become a Gingerbread House and here is what I came up with....

I used some kraft card stock to make the house itself, the board really does make it easy.

I decorated the roof with crackle paint, diamond sparkles and some gems which I thought looked just like sweets.

I also used the corresponding cd rom Sweet Treats to print some backing paper and cut out these sweets which I also added some spray and sparkle to.

I glued some hook and loop tape to one side of the roof so it can be opened like a box and as you can see added a couple of sweet treats.

I trimmed the house and top of the roof with some bakers twine and made a base for the house to stand on. I finally finished it all off with some wadding and more diamond sparkles for the snow. I die cut some Die'sire Fir Trees which I also decorated with the backing paper this time I used a small circle punch to make the sweets smaller. The cute little gingerbread man and sentiment are both freebie stamps which came with the latest Crafter's Inspiration. Here are a couple more pics....

Thank you for stopping by today, feel free to leave me a comment, I love to read them :0)

Bye for now

Winter Faerie Poppets

Good evening all, I am here today to share one of the samples that I made for the latest Crafter's Companionrelease. The extremely talented Christine Haworth has produced yet more beautiful artwork and the time Crafter's Companion have the Winter Faerie Poppets.

This sample I used some scented bags which I picked up cheap from Asda. I printed three images from the fabric companion section of the cd rom and shrunk them right down. I printed them all onto Fabric transfer paper. I emptied the bags of the stuffing and ironed the images onto the bags then re-stuffed them. Here are some pics...












I also made a gift box with some centura card stock and papers from the cd rom and added a acetate window.



I was quite happy with the end result, I think they would make a great gift for somebody :0)

Instead of going for a mode of transport I decided to do something a little different and use one of Sheena Douglass' A little bit Magical stamp plates called the quest. I thought he looked perfect for someone on their travels :0)









The images were all stamped onto Neenah card... with the book I wrote on the pages to look like a diary of his journey so far. Here is a close up of the image with a list of the colours that I used..
