LDRS Creative –Mitten Tags!




Hello everyone! Hope everything is OK with you!

I am posting on the LDRS CREATIVE INSPIRATION BLOG today and it's a Christmas Countdown!!  It’s nearly here!! Eeek! Not that I’m excited you understand.

This time I have some little tags to show you, made with the new release EYELET LACE RECTANGLE DIE SET.

It has a lovely decorative edge and I wanted to enhance that by adding some paper from the ARCTIC SNOWFALL 6 x 6 PAPER PAD.

I did this by using the side of the larger frame die to cut along the edge of one of the gorgeous papers.  After trimming it fits the border of the tag very nicely and meant that I did not have to subject anyone to my appalling fussy cutting!!

I love the little mittens and snowflakes from the HOT CHOCOLATE stamp set and I used my stamping platform to make sure the images were in the same place on all three. Well more or less.

I coloured everything with glitter gel pens and added glitter drops, ribbon and twine.


Ingredients:
LDRS PRODUCTS
Stamps: HOT CHOCOLATE

THE REST  
Colouring: Sakura Stardust Pens
Others: Tonic Nuvo Glitter Drops – Ribbon – Twine

So check out the LDRS Creative blog HERE where you can see all the incredible makes from the amazing DT and go to the store HERE to get all your gorgeous goodies.  We also have a YouTube channel full of education and inspiration and visit our Facebook page where we would love to see all YOUR LDRS creations!

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….” are you singing along? Well that’s the theme tune for the DT this week and I have decorated a tag with this fabulous vintage Santa.

We Love 2 Create – Snow Ho Ho!


Hello, how’s it going?

Time for a new monthly challenge at WE LOVE 2 CREATE which is always ‘Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes’ and we are sponsored by the awesome POLKADOODLES!! Our winner will receive a fabulous prize so check out the blog for details.

I have enrolled in the ‘Leonie Pujol School of Clean-up’ and if you have ever seen her shows on Hochanda you will know what I mean. 🙂 This is how this project came to be as the background was created almost entirely by cleaning off different stencils after using them on other projects.  No such thing as waste on my desk..…just uncontrollable mess! 😱

There is some added stamping and stencil work with Oxides and white paste but on the whole this was ‘ready-made’ if you will.

Aren’t these gnomes fantastic! They are hugely popular so get to the store and check them all out HERE; be quick as they’re selling out fast!!

Ingredients:
Main Polkadoodles Stamp Image: GNOME MEN –SNOW HO HO
Colouring: Ecoline Brush Markers
Colouring Paper: Watercolour
Dies: None (!!?!!)
Other Polkadoodles Stamps: WINTER FLURRIES
Polkadoodles Stencils: WINTER/CHRISTMAS LANDSCAPES - ACCENTS
The Rest: Luna Paste - Imagination Crafts Starlight Paint – Distress Oxides - Tonic Nuvo Crystal Drops – Posca Pens – Cheesecloth - Fluffy Round Things (not their commercial name)

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it! Enjoy what’s left of the weekend!

See ya!
