Fairy House Tutorial

 

Happy Friday lovelies

I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the gorgeous summer weather we're getting?? Here in Scotland it's just soooooo warm, but no complaints. Just need a little cooler to get the dog walked instead of at 6am and 10pm at night?? Poor pup that she is

Toady I wanted to share my latest wee YouTube Tutorial with you, a lovely Fairy House

What do you think?? Too busy?? Just right or does it need something? The original template I created for this was for a magazine piece last year, the Hunkydory Box Magazine no.17 but sadly you can't get this as a physical copy another. You can still get a digital version here if you want to see what else the Design team created.

 

For the tutorial I created a smaller version first to show how its looks

I used some Bazzill pink and yellow 12x12 craft card and added some pretty First Edition Oh So Sweet pattern papers to the top along with some cute little Lawn Fawn fairies coloured up with my Copic Markers. Of course there is plenty glitter along with Mulberry flowers and gems to decorate

For the main Fairy House I used some gorgeous papers from 49 and Market, Art Options Rouge along with more Bazzill 12x12 card in a deep burgundy and smokey grey

I teamed the Fairy House with an older Some odd Girl Digi Stamp, Fairy Magic and coloured up with my Copic Markers added glitter to the wings and face. The Glitter I used was some older glitter glue with loose glitter added in to make it extra sparkly. The small butterflies are from very old Martha Stewart punch but you can find similar here

The template has an open space in the bottom to allow you to pop in a wee faux tea light or fairy lights and light up through the vellum windows

Remember you can find the tutorial over on my YouTube Channel as well as lots of other to keep you busy while it's too warm to sit outside. You can also find the link to the template here

Until next time, stay safe everyone and make sure to drink plenty during the hot weather

Birthday Box xx

Hello everyone

Sorry I haven't been about, we managed to get away for a few days and was soooooooo busy right before we left! Was just lovely to sit back, do some walking and find some normality all while staying away from people! Bliss

Today I wanted to share a wee Exploding Birthday Box I created a few weeks back! 

I actually made 3 cards for this amazing lady, this was for her daughter to give! Plus a card from hubbies Mum to send and one at the last minute from her partner! It was all hush hush and she could't believe they had all contacted me to create something Special for her 70th Birthday!

I used some of my favourite Time for Tea Designs Digi Stamps coloured with my Spectrum Noir Classiques, the Butterflies are an old Crafter's Companion die, some beautiful Carta Bella 12x12 papers, Mulberry Flowers, gems and lots and lots of glitter!

The other two cards I will share over the next few weeks with you all! All different too!

Well I need to get back too work, creating a wee Fairy House and working with some fab new bits and bobs that I can't wait for you all to see!

Stay safe and keep crafting

Blue and Red Birthday xx

Hello there all

Oh its been a wee while since I posted on here, you know how bust the Christmas season can get tho! I hope Santa spoiled you all and brought you some fun Crafty bits too??

I wanted to share with you a wee 50th Birthday Box I had the privilege of making 

The papers were from my stash, a bundle of 12x12 papers I got from Hey Little Magpie and the images are all stamps from Lili of the Valley coloured with Promarkers!

I really enjoyed making this, maybe because I hadn't made one a while but it was fun to spend a few days enjoy making all the elements!

Well I'm off to relax with the dog, log fire and my crochet today!

I spent most of Saturday colouring and Sunday making a few cards! The hours just disappeared on Saturday while I was colouring, perfect wee day for me and my promarkers and my favourite Crafts and Me digital stamps

Tri-Fold Birthday xx

Good morning everyone

Well sadly this will be my last Design Team post for Clare Curd Crafts, I want to thank everyone for their support and those who left me amazing comments to boost my confidence! And thanks to Clare for giving me the chance!

Now this week I created a lil tri-fold card

I took an A4 sheet of card and folded it twice to form my 3 panels, then taking those delish Fancy Pants What a Wonderful Day Collection, I decorated the panels on the front and the back. I added some ribbon to the panels too

I then took the utterly FAB Little Darlings Saturated Canary images and coloured them with markers, cutting them out and layering on the card with nestie ovals

I decorated the rest of the card with bunting I made from the scraps of the paper and twine for the front adding card candi to each one. Added gems and punched butterflies before finishing with lots of Mulberry Flowers, pins with seed beads and then of course glitter. The back I also added a text panel to write your little message, a birthday verse and then a die-cut butterfly to match everything in

I hope you like my wee creation and give an "oldie but a goody" tri-fold card a try!

Well until next time and thanks again for the support
