Left Overs 2

 

 Hello!

 Welcome to my little crafting place!

Do you keep your left-over Christmas die cuts from one year to another like me?

I just can't throw them away - and this year I found several boxes of extra trees, leaves,snowflakes. stars and all the rest! 

So I thought I'd make an effort to use at least some of them up, so I'm going to share what happened when I tried to make a dent in my Left Overs.

For the first 2 I started by using a couple of new Glimmer plates to hot foil a large sentiment directly onto coloured card blanks

Glimmer sentiment foiled in gold
Assorted gold tree die cuts left over from last year
Gold ribbon

Glimmer sentiment foiled in silver
Assorted turquoise tree die cuts left over from last year
Silver thread, red and silver punched stars

Printed sentiment left over from last year
Assorted gold and turquois sprigs, stars and snowflake die cuts left over from last year

 Still not much of a dent in the ready cut pieces but hopefully I can come up with more ideas for making use of them.

 Just a Note

Pine Cones and Fairy Lights

Hello!

Welcome to my little crafting place! Here's where I share the things I've been making, and sometimes other bits of waffle!

This week sees the start of the Daring Cardmakers

Jolly Crafty Christmas Time 2024

For the challenges leading up to Christmas we'll give you either a picture or a word prompt each week and then the rest is up to you! 

Anything Goes - you're free to make anything that takes your fancy that fits the theme.
Tags, Bags, Cards, Décor, boxes, and all kinds of trimmings - whatever you want to make, Christmas themed or not - it's up to you 

 

It all starts off today with a picture prompt

November Elemental Inspiration Challenge.  
What to make: Anything Goes! 

Christmas themed or not

Just choose a minimum of 3 elements to use when you make your project.

See what the DT made here

 

My main choices were the colour palette. Baker's Twine, and Pine Cones, but there are other things from the picture wheich found their way in!

 

 

All the dies are from Spellbinders sets.  The sentiment is hot-foiled in white (I love the effect!) using the sentiment plate from October's Glimmer of the Month set, which is fabulous! I think the pine cone set and the tree light set were from last year or even earlier

I added in some extra leafy sprigs and holly cut in green and gold to fill out the design
