Merry Christmas!

It's my turn to post on the blog today so I thought I would share one of my favourite cards of 2011 and of course it had to be a Christmas card!

 

 

The lace, seam binding and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Flowers used are Trellis Rose, tulips, 25mm wild roses, fabric flowers.  Tiny pearls have been added to her boots.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, on behalf of Paul and Siri and all of the DT and to thank you for your wonderful support in 2011.

Christmas Basket with a Tutorial

Merry Christmas!

Just one day to go - at least here in Norway :)

Today I'll show you a Christmas Basket I made for one of my crafting classes this December.

It has a hexagon shape, and it's quite easy and fun to make, so I thought I'd even give you the tutorial on how to make it your self :)

The basket is of course embellished with beautiful items from Wild Orchid Crafts!

Embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts:

Poinsettias, Open Paper Roses 15 mm & 10 mm, Rosebuds 4 mm, Satin Ribbon and Self Adhesive Rhinestones.

How to make this Christmas Basket:

This is what you’ll need:

1 Cardstock + 1 strip of size 4,5 x 30 cm

Designer paper

Adhesives

Glue

Ruler

Papercutter/Scoreboard

Scissors

Edge puncher

Spellbinders circle or doily or something similar

Embellishments

Basket:

Cut 6 squares of cardstock in size 10 x 10 cm.

Cut and fold like the template says:

Use the edge puncher on top of each part.

♥

Cut 6 panels of designer paper in size 7 x 7,5 cm.

Cut as the template says:

Glue the pieces of designer paper on the parts of cardstock.

Glue the parts together so they become a hexagon shaped basket.

♥

Bottom:

Construate a hexagon like this: Draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm. Mark a point on the circle, then a new point 4 cm from the first, a new one 4 cm from the second…and so on, until you have 6 points on the circle. Draw straight lines from point to point, until you have a hexagon. Cut out the hexagon, and glue it to the bottom of the baskets inside.

Punch out a Spellbinder shape and glue it underneath the bottom of the basket, as a plate.

♥

Handle:

Cut a strip of cardstock in size 4,5 or 5 x 30 cm.

Use the edge puncher on both sides of the strip.

Cut a strip of designer paper in size 2,5 x 30 cm, and glue it to the strip of cardstock.

Glue the handle to the inside of the basket.

The basket is now ready to be embellished!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Creative New Year!

Embellished Frame Gift!

Hello everyone!  I made a gift for a friend this Christmas and I thought I would show it to you.  I got the idea from Tab's blog.  She made one several months ago.

The frame was covered in Picket Fence Crackled paint then I added the Hanglar girl colored in copics, but the real fun came when I started picking out which gorgeous flowers to add!!! So here you go, this is the list:

35mm Pale Peach Trellis Rose, 30 mm Coral Large Wild Roses,  White Cherry Blossoms, White Sweetheart Blossoms, 10mm Pale Peach Open Rose, Gypsophilia, and Large Metal Corners  all of these flowers are found at Wild Orchid Crafts!

Christmas is around the corner, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Crafting, Dena
