Skull And Cross Buns

Skull And Cross Buns | Hochanda

Here are the three layouts I created using Skull and Cross Buns products that you can buy from Hochanda today...

Big polka dots and the Christmas Sweater stencils are firm favourites with me.

"Funny" story about the above layout... M.E. brain fog has been kicking my butt recently. I decided that I needed to show that the 6x6 stencils can be used repeatedly to fill a 12x12 page. I decided the best way was clear glitter paste on a white background - yes, my style but... that was never going to show on TV. So I decided to save it I would mist over the top of it. The paste would resist the ink. Well, yes it would resist it but it still needed to be wiped off the paste before it dried - which I failed to do. I ended up cleaning each section of glitter paste one by one with a wet cotton bud. Sigh!

Still to come today are tags and gift wrap ideas...

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...

(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 u...

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. ...
