25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 - DAY 3 - Strawberry Advent Calendar

Hi there crafty friends and welcome back to my
25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 tutorial series!

The project I am sharing today is a Strawberry Advent Calendar. I made it for my 7 year old daughter who loves everything about strawberries.

The little gifts inside are mostly strawberry flavoured sweets, but also some strawberry themed stationery, jewellery and even strawberry socks. :)

In the video below I am demonstrating several ways of gift packaging. The heart of this calendar is several little strawberry shaped boxes. Other types of boxes are embellished to coordinate with them.

I will also show you how I arranged all the assorted bags and boxes into a calendar - look at the photos and a video below!

SUPPLIES:

Falling Leaves - Shaker Easel Card

This project is my attempt to create a clean and simple card. 

I have used some leaf dies by Poppystamps to make it. Also, I have attached a shaker panel to an easel card base.

Watch the video below where I reveal all the process!

Have a fantastic day and thanks for visiting!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 2 - Wanted

Hi crafty friends!

Although fall is just starting I am publishing a second tutorial of the 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS series.

The first one was a large Holiday tag, this one is a card that can also work as masculine or children's card.

As always, the beginning to end VIDEO is at the end of the post.

SUPPLIES:

Chalkboard Slider Tag

Hi there, 

There is a fun project I would like to share with you today - that is an interactive Halloween tag. To create this tag I have used the new Autumn Fairies stamp set along with the coordinating dies and Memory Box Straight Slider Grooves dies. 

My color choice this time was black and white to achieve a chalkboard look.


The fairy with a tiny Jack-O'Lantern is sliding out from behind an acorn house - watch the video to see it and to learn how to make this tag!

ATTENTION!
There is a GIVEAWAY running on Poppystamps blog - just leave a comment on this post by September 13 to win a fabulous prize.

Head in the Clouds

This card I am presenting today was inspired by some school memories. I think a lot of people know the feeling when you want to come back to school to see your friends and share the news, but then after a few days you start missing the summer badly and you want your freedom back... 

SUPPLIES:

Magical Lanterns - Backlit Card

To create this card I have used a beautiful and super intricate new die by Poppystamps called Chinese Lanterns. I have die cut it out of gold foiled cardstock, inlayed it into a brown background and made numerous vellum windows out of each lantern. 

All the techniques and creative process are disclosed in the video below.
