More Molly Blooms

Back again so soon I can't believe it I hear you say!!

Some more samples using Molly Blooms stamps most of them are available from Whichcraftuk.

The new collection have been so popular sad to say, some are out of stock at the moment, but worth a look any way, as there are some from 2011 collection and a  10% discount if you buy 3 or more.

Santa's Sleigh Ride

Roxy Reindeer

I want to say a huge thank you to my sister who's also my best friend for all the help she gave me with these samples, especially for working out the machanics of this card.

We're not too sure of the correct name, spinner, window, secret message wheel card.

Any way it tuned out brilliant after a few goes.

There are 4 images that appear in the window. The only thing I would change is using a brad, because the legs have flat sides it doesn't spin as smoothly as it should.

Will work on it and do a tutorial if it works better, unless any of you clever crafters no of a tute all ready.

A few challenges to join in the fun:
ABC Christmas ~ wrapping
Winter Wonderland ~ food
Papertake Weekly ~ ribbons and pearls
Creative Card Crew ~ anything goes

Well if you're still with me thanks for stopping by and  have a fun weekend.

Shake it

Hi, everyone hope you're all good.

Some more projects to share with you today.

A shaker card made really easy with the SHAKE IT pouches from Impression Obsession.

I bought these at the last Harrogate show and i'm really mad with myself I can't remember the seller,

I hope they are there at the next show.

They are self adheshive and only about an 1/8th" deep. you can buy overlays too but I used the Sizzix top note die from Stampin Up and cut the oval with the large nessty.

Stamps I used are from Molly Bloom, Rudolph Joy and Gingerbread Garland.

Copic colouring ( I will get back into telling you the colours i've used )

Cardstock is Bazzil bling green and the real red from SU paper is Forever Friends Cosy Christmas stack

Greeting IO clear stamp word window and modern label punch SU

Holly leaves Quickcutz

To make the shaker I used German glass glitter, it's really nice and  makes a lovey shaky sound.

It could have done with just a bit less so you could read the word, but hay ho!! I'll know for next time.

I'm sharing this with Truly Scrumptious challenge ~ shaker card

More projects...

Treat pouches  

christmas bauble

Box for the bauble

The inspiration for these came from some lovely talented SU demos.

The tutorial for the treat pouches can be found on our sweet Monica's blog here thank you hun fab video x

I'm sorry I can't give credit for the bauble as i've lost the link but she made a pumpkin.

I've had the paper kit called Christmas Jingle from SU for a while. It came with cardstock, papers and diecuts a brilliant kit... i'm so sorry it's not in the catty now.

I cut  18    6" x 1/2" strips with victorian cutter on my Rotatrim. Needs to be heavy weight paper.

Punch a hole through all the strips on both ends, a crop a dile would be best so the holes are in the same place.

 Push a large brad through one end and a length of 3/8ths ribbon then through the other end, the ribbon is in the center of the bauble. Pull to form a circle and tie a knot in the ribbon.

Move the strips of paper around evenly.

The poinsettia flowers are with Marianne Die but I split the paper after I cut them to reveal the inside makes them look more like mulberrry paper. Thanks again to Monica. x

I put some flowers inside too. scrolls are sizzix sizzlits dies swirls scribbles from SU

Stamp used on the treat pouch is from the sparkly and bright set SU

ABC christmas challenge is ~ unused stash 

Thanks for stopping by have a good evening,

Advent Calendar Chest

Hi friends,
This is a long post you might need a cuppa.

I thought I would show you my creations using the new Molly Bloom stamps all available at Whichcraftuk.

Hop over to Clare's Blog the designer, for some wonderful inspiration and come and see her demoing at the Stamp Magic show, The Dome Doncaster.

My first creation is an Advent Calendar Chest.
 Sorry for the rubbish photos the lightings not very good. I was rushing so I could deliver that day!!

 I used the Match Box Template, also from Whichcraftuk, for the drawers and 3 pieces of Woodware
chip board.
Stamps used: Christmas Tree, Gingerbread Man, George as an Elf, Molly at Christmas, Molly with Tree Lights, Christmas Stocking, and part of Pile of Presents
Papers are by NitWit
I coloured the images with copics just too many to list.
The brads are from Dovecraft I coloured the red ones with a copic marker and added dots with a white gel pen , and also coloured the ribbon too with a green copic.
The numbers are peel offs which I also coloured pale blue with peel off markers.

Challenges I would like to have fun with,
Charisma Cardz ~ more than one fold
Crafty Creations ~ show a number
Papertake Weekly ~ 3 of a kind
A Spoonful of Sugar ~ Winter Wonderland
ABC Christmas Challenge ~ U for under the tree Gift or box
Pile it On ~ Things in 3's

The next one is a card using Whichcrafts handbag die cut card. I cut it in half long ways and joined it back together with a piece of dp on the front and the same cream card on the back.
It makes an A5 gate fold card.

Molly Bloom stamps used:
Patchwork Bed, Christmas Window, Bedtime Molly, George as an Elf and part of Pile of Presents.
NitWit paper again and coloured with copics
The sentiment is from the Woodware Christmas Sentiment clear set punched with SU oval and scallop oval punches.
I stamped 2 windows cut out the panes in one and added acetate for a 3D effect

The next 2 cards are using Whichcraft Elegant die cut step card

I had to take these  at the shop hence the background.
Molly Bloom stamps: Christmas Tree, and Christmas Stocking.
I stamped the tree using Versafine Olympia Green first then added Spanish Moss around the edges of the branches.
Then inked the trunk with momento cocoa and stamped it onto one of Paulas die cut scallop ovals.
I coloured in some of the branches and the trunk with a copic, and distressed the scallop edge with Victorian Velvert ink.
The pot was stamped on to dp and raised on pads
Sentiment as previous card.
Craftwork cards candy in christmas green.

Molly Bloom stamps used:
