 Morning peeps !!

 It's my turn for the friday project at Little Claires and I thought I'd show you how to make this fab door hanger for Christmas using "Deck The Horns"

A wooden door hanger blank

Little Claires "Deck the Horns" stamp

White and black card

Promarkers

8 buttons

White dotty and red dotty ribbon

Twine

3 gold bells

Black "Happy Christmas" stickers

 Spellbinder dies-Snowflake Pendent and Labels Eight

 -----------------

1- Cover your wooden hanger with chosen paper, I've used the red and green spotty paper and distress the edges with a craft knife.

2- Stamp"Deck The Horns" image onto a piece of white card and colour in using promarkers, then die cut out with Labels Eight die. Using the same die onto a piece of black card draw round outside and cut out. Distress edges and glue both pieces together, add "Happy Christmas" stickers and then mount onto front of door hanger.

3- Tie a piece of twine through each of the 8 buttons, glue 6 in a line along front of hanger.

4- Die cut one large snowflake from piece of white card.

5- Cut one legth of whit dotty and one length of red dotty ribbon and tie a big bow. Gently heat with heat gun to crinkle ribbon. Now glue snowflake and one red button onto bow and then glue onto top of door hanger.

6- Onto a piece of red dotty ribbon, thread three gold bells and then crinkle ribbon with heat gun and glue to front of hanger.

7-  Make a bow using white dotty ribbon and then crinkle with heat gun and glue on top of red ribbon with bells. Now glue last red button in centre of bow.

Last Saturday at AMOM it was Scrap Club and an Autumn theme, so I thought it would be fab to use my photo's of  my cute woolly hats for the Innocents Big Knit for Age UK.

 You would'nt believe this started out as a plain piece of card !!

We coloured with Pan Pastels, stamped with distress inks to make our backgrounds.

Embossed colour core card and coloured with Pan Pastels. Made a couple of tags.

Then finished off with some twine and eyelits to make a border !! Great fun  !!

Circle waste !!

Morning peeps !!

Had a fab time yesterday with friends making christmas decorations,  we flittered and glittered and made bead charms to hang at the bottom of each of our wood decorations. !!  Great fun was had by all  and we all got in a bit of a mess !!

Anyway here is my last Little Claire card using the new stamp club set called "Swirlball Flowers" which I said about in my last post from yesterday.  I've used the waste from the diecut circles and embossed it with a script embossing folder.

Mounted it on 3d foam tape onto a green card, then punched out 8 smaller circles of white card, coloured with a green promarker and then stamped just the flower head onto each one. Coloured all of the flowers in different colours and finished off with an edge of black dots. then glued each one on the card base. The centre cirle is the origional diecut with on of the sentiments.

 There you have it !!

Swirlball Flowers

Good afternoon peeps !!

Boy last night the wind really picked up, but we still had fireworks going off all round us !!  How on earth they managed to set them off and safely I don't know !!

Anyway start of a new month means new Little Claire club stamps !!

"Swirlball Flowers"

Such a pretty set and here are a couple of cards I've made.

 Included in the set is a cute single flowerhead stamp and thats what I have used to make my background paper. The circles are from a die cut sheet which is white, but I colour matched them using promarkers and then used the sets sentiments. For the blue and pink borders I just used promakers again to egde white card.

 For the second card I used the framed flowers and butterflies and stamped it four times rotating each time time. Coloured in with promarkers and edged it with black dots. Again used one of the circle die cuts for the sentiment.

I've made one more card using the Swirlball Flowers which I'll show you tomorrow....never throw anything away even your die cut circle waste !!
