Delightful Molly and George.


Giant pegs make great paperclips,paperweights or a decorative addition to any Crafter's desk.
We have been making these pegs for a Craft Workshop.They have been covered with decorative papers,but if time allows you could paint them with Acrylic paint first before decorating.

 Fishing George,he has been coloured using Ranger distress inks,cut out and mounted onto the front of the peg.Embellishments include a Ribbon Cluster and extra buttons add that finishing touch.

Sunflower Molly,she has been made in much the same way as George,but instead of a Ribbon Cluster we have made a Rosette.This is made from a 12" strip of double sided card/paper and punched along one edge.Folded concertina style,joined together in a round,then holding the togerther fan out.Stick two small circles of card to the cente(one either side) and leave to dry.


Products used:- Molly Blooms Stamps ,Ranger Distress Inks,Craft Pins,Ribbon and Buttons

Michael Powell


Well what can we say about these.
The same stamp-Midnight Garden by Michael Powell,but two totally different effects.
Wonderful cards for Birthdays or New Homes.

        

One  card has been decoupaged and coloured using Distress Ink Pads as watercolours and the other has had a  watercolour wash in a single colour to highlight areas of the image.

In the range there are Toppers and Decoupage Sheets if you are not into stamping which make great alternatives.

Tatty Ted

We have been busy creating Tatty Ted cards for a workshop and here they are.We hope you agree, they are lovely!



He is so delightful that he can be used for all occasions.The rocker card was made from a template and Spellbinder Lacy Ovals and Classic Ovals were used to make the topper.Embellishments included punched Daisies in different sizes, Ribbon and Nailheads 3mm and 5mm.

The A5 Aperture Card has been covered in pink gingham paper with a square aperture cut in the front panel and covered with a Spellbinger Lacey Sqaure die-cut(with the middle cut out).Each A5 piece of card as been scored either side approx 2.5cm in from edge and in the middle so when glued together the card pops out in the middle but lays flat to fit an A5 envelope.Embellishments included Mulberry Paper Flowers and Ribbon.
