More from Botanicals

I made this as a Birthday card for a friend. Again they are bits and bods from the DoCrafts Botanicals collection. The card it's mounted on is just from my stash, I liked the colour contrast.

3D Decopage

My Mother entered a competition to win a set of DoCrafts Botanicals, and won over £50 worth. As she is not a crafter she gave them all to me! Some lovely items, ribbons, decoupage papers, cards and embellishments. Here are a couple of cards I made this morning. I did not realise that you should 'shape' the papers by bending them a little. It certainly gives it a better look. I also had a go using silicone glue, big blobs so it makes the card stand out. I normaly use 3D sticky foam pads. Both work well.

Yet another Frozen Princess card

This one is for the 7 year old. She's only interested in 2 things One Direction, and Frozen. As I'm a bit at a loss with boy groups (can't call them a band - no instruments to speak of) I'm using Disney's Frozen again. It's just an excuse to play with snowflakes and rhinestones really :-)

Anniversary Card

A simple card for my hubby on our wedding anniversary. Next year is 40th, so pushing the boat out then!

Stick the nose on the Snowman

For my 3 year old Granddaughters Birthday Party. It's not Pin the Tail on the Donkey these days, it's stick the nose on the snowman. This is Olaf the snowman from the Disney film Frozen. His original nose did not look very much like a carrot from this angle, so I made some different ones. The snowflakes are cut out on my new Silhouette Cameo Cutting machine. The carrots have Sticky dots on the back, and everyone will write their name on the carrots - then we will see who is the closest!

Made as a get well card.

A Parchment craft card. Made from a design in Parchment Craft Magazine August 2014. This one took ages, all those little perforations!
I think it would look nice in white too, it would just need a little more shading on the roses and leaves.

The Barbie cake (hopefully!)

Managed to make the 'Barbie Doll' type cake today. Our last attempt was a charred mess! it can go in the freezer now, before it gets iced and turned into Elsa (Yes, from Disney's Frozen)....so many things Frozen here I hope my screen does not freeze.........brrrrr!
Hundreds of these Barbie cakes on the internet, all look amazing. I'm not doing the pretty stuff on this one, my daughter is. So when it's done I'll share a picture, if she deems it worthy! The Elsa doll is quite tall, so we needed an extra bit of height. The Victoria sponge layer will just go on the bottom. We did wonder about taking her legs off....but she's a genuine doll and we did not want to spoil her. It took 10 eggs, 12oz Flour, Sugar & butter for this amount of cake!!

Frozen Card for my Granddaughters Birthday

I got so many snowflakes stuck on me....I was singing "Let it go....let it go....!"
I have borrowed a Cricut expression, and it was great for cutting out snowflakes and the Happy Birthday. I used a Dark blue envelope and stuck the spare snowflakes on it. Would make a nice Christmas envelope, I'll have to remember that!

Busy today making bracelets for my Granddaughters Birthday party bags. The Theme is Disneys "Frozen".
They came out Pretty well I think!
