Hobby House - Daisy Mae Design Toppers

I am sharing all my Christmas makes over the next couple of weeks, and my intent this year  is to only use things from my stash - however old they may be. And some are very old. I am very lucky to have an extensive stash - a lot from past Design Team and Demonstrator work - but, like everyone else, I am feeling the pinch and quite frankly have no need for anything new this year - or probably several years!! 

These cards are using Hobby House Daisy Mae Design Toppers.

The one below uses a topper from the Festive Fun sheet, with Crafter's Companion 6x6 Softly Falling Create-a-card. I also used Jeanine's Art Winter Charm Snowflake Nesting dies and Crafter's Companion Stitched Edge die. The sentiment is Creative Expressions Festive Collection Deco Sentiments, and the alphabet is a very old 1" Crafter's Companion set. The plain satin boards are from Crafter's Companion Luxury Cardstock packs. The patterned paper is from Hunkydory's 2019 Blockbuster magazine.

The second one uses a topper from the Winter Wishes sheet, with Crafter's Companion Timeless Wreath 5x5 Create-a-card. I used Spellbinders scalloped and plain circle dies (probably some of the oldest dies I have in my stash), with Crafter's Companion Stitched Edge dies. The sentiment and alphabet are the same as above. The glitter and satin board are again from Crafter's Companion Luxury Card Packs, while the patterned card is from a huge Kanban pack that must be from the days of Dawn Bibby on QVC.

I have lots more to share over the coming days. 

Please feel free to follow me here on my blog, on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.

And I now have a YouTube channel where I hope to add my video content to in the future. Would love it if you could subscribe. 

Thank you for popping by and happy crafting,

More Christmas Cards

While I love my Hunkydory, here are some of the other Christmas cards from this year's makes. 

Firstly, this little bunch were using toppers from Hobby House.

   

   

And this lot were with an old Create and Craft set.

  

And all of these were with various Crafter's Companion goodies - some of which I have posted earlier in the year.

  

  

  

Happy crafting - and Happy Christmas.

Umbrellas ready!

We are starting a new fortnightly challenge at Use Your Craft Stash, and we are onto U and V. These letters at the end of the alphabet are getting a bit tricky. The only thing I could think of was Umbrella - and it reminded me of a card I made in June 2015 for the Scruffy Little Kitten launch. There was a image of a little girl with an umbrella, and a great sentiment from one of the stamp sets - called Rosie. I tried to follow my own instructions from that blog post but I seem to have omitted a few things. I am pretty sure that I didn't make it at A4 size - and when scoring the top of the card for sticking I must have done the back piece - and not the front. I realised both mistakes when I made them with this card!! Am still pretty happy with it - although it is rather large!

I used the same sentiment as before, from the Scruffy Little Kitten stamp set called Rosie, but this time used a Hobby House Topper from a Daisy Mae Draws Ready to Colour Art Book called Days of Summer. I coloured it with Spectrum Noir markers - BT4, 5, 9 for the umbrella, CT1, 2, 3, 4 for the wellies, OR1, 2, 3, for the flowers and LG1, 2, 3 for the leaves and grass. The base card is from Papermill, and the spotty card I bought from my local market.

Hopefully brollies won't be needed this week - although that might be optimistic!

Happy crafting,
