Christmas Tag



Hi there!

I've been getting messy and glittery and I'd like to share it with you...


 
a handmade poinsettia

 
metallic silver paint
 
 
distressed wooden buttons

 
fine red and chunky green glitter

 
just love these wooden buttons

 
lots of dimension



It's quite different for me - there is no ribbon for a start!

You see, I found a new challenge blog called Nicely Done Designs - you must use everything that is in their box.  This time it is corrugated card, twine, buttons, hand made flowers.  I thought I'd try to make a flower brooch out of corrugated card but it evolved in to a tag.

I'd also like to enter in to these challenges/linky parties:
Cupcake Craft - Christmas
Crazy Challenge - Christmas
Pile it on - Embellishments (buttons)
Make it Monday - Anything goes
Crafting By Design - mixed media (acrylic paint, glossy medium)
Quirky Crafts - Christmas Tag


Thanks for stopping by

    You did a super job with this tag. Making a flower out of the corrugated cardboard was very creative.

    Laura, This is WoWzer! I love what how your project evolved! I have been so excited with the entries that I have received in the challenge thus far and your entry just added to that excitement. I can see you ladies are not going to make it easy on us when it comes time to find three designers for the first DT selection. Good Luck! Very Nicely Done!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
