Fairy House

 Hello friends and visitors

A big thank you for all the kind comments on my last card, they were lovely to read. It's my SIL 50th birthday next week and we're all going out tonight to celebrate - so I'm looking forward to a lovely meal out at Miller and Carter.

I've something different to share with you all today. I've had this blank fairy house from The Works for a good few years and decided to decorate it. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out and now to do the other three I have! Anyway here it is...

So to make this which was a wooden colour, I removed the door and metal bits and painted the door and plinth with white acrylic paint. I cut round some paper from Lili of the Valley which I've had for years. The fairies welcome sign, mushroom, pink bow and the cute little fairy came from a website and I wish I could remember where, as I want to buy more,all the other embellishments came from my stash. Once I put it all together, I placed white felt on the bottom of the plinth and the back of the frame and door to finish it off. Now to do the others for Christmas presents for the four 3 year olds that I buy for.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, have a great weekend and I'll see you all soon.

A Clock I Made!

Good Morning Friends

I hope you've all had a good weekend. I've spent mine crafting and practising new techniques, which I will share at another time. 

Anyway, I needed a new clock for my kitchen and I decided to make one as I had some clock hands in a drawer which I had for ages. So here it is...

I created this using my Cricut Maker and I purchased the design from here. It would seem layered mandalas are all the rage at the moment especially on the Facebook pages for Cricut. The clock hands had a red second hand and I really didn't like the colour and thought how can I change this, so I used silver embossing powder and heated it and used loads of layers to build the colour up until I was happy and it worked really well.

I hope you all have a good week and hope the weather improves too!

Take and stay safe.

I used the following ingredients to make this.

Cricut Maker from Hochanda

Clock hands from The Works

Paper is from Hobbycraft

The frame is from B&M's

Mandala from Etsy

Decorated Wooden Heart

Hi Friends

Where has the last month gone? I can't believe it's been that long since my last post. I put it down to being away for most of the holidays and not getting any crafting done!

Anyway I did manage to make this decorated wooden heart. I made this for myself which makes a change as normally I give most things away. Anyway I hope you like it.....

The details are:
The heart came from The Works.
The flowers mostly came from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The wooden love also came from a set from The Works which I coloured with a Promarker.
The spirals and pearls are from Aliexpress.
My favourite sentiment is an Inkylicious one and I love it!
The paper is from an old Papermania one and is 8x8.

Well I hope you all like it.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs Debbie x
