Just another day at the office

Hey all! 

Well now that my clear out of my magazines has started, I've decided to devote this post to the amount I've made recently (bare in mind this was in one day!). 

This little cutie was such a doddle to make! Created in about 30mins Percy the penguin (cute but tired however) is now sat on my desk waiting for my best friend to take him home. I love creating with felt and I think the quick but professional outcome is awesome.

Now you all know how much I love my jewellery! When I found a tutorial to make a version of this necklace, I knew I had to make it my own. Created with beads and ribbon from my crafty creative boxes, add a few extras and this beauty was born! A great present for my boyfriends sister.

Of corse I had to include a few cards! This lovely card (of the slim variety which I used to use a lot) was created using my new heat gun. I love using gold embossing powder! It brings out the key designs so well. Unfortuantly this card has sold already, however the design could be replicated.

This card was only made tonight so I'm kind of cheating with this one! But here is one of my few valentines cards. This design was drawn up whilst at my boyfriends house the other day and I've been itching to make it ever since. The colours work so well together and these heart doilys just jump out to be used for valentines! 

Thank you so much for reading.

Crafty day

Why hello! 

Today was my tidy desk/ craft day and I actually managed to get one and a half of my kits done. I'm rather proud of myself. First I decided to make a kit from my Christmas crafty creatives box (www.craftycreatives.co.uk). It was a lovely lip blam kit and I thought this would be something sticky and icky to make, but it wasn't! The kit included coconut oil (hard form), honey, sugar, pots and labels. Baisically, mix it all together to fill the five pots for a cute handmade gift! I added red food colouring to mine to add a more girly feel, but you could add food flavourings or glitter for a personal touch!

I think these are too cute! My next kit was another from my Christmas box, it was to make two cute felt baulbals. The kit included felt, stuffing, ribbon, thread and buttons. I made one round green baubal and found this sewing kit very therapeutic. I've decided to keep the other for when I stay at my boyfriends. 

More cards coming up Thursday morning everyone!

Crafty Creatives Kit

Hey all,

Today is my day off and I decided to pull out a crafty creatives kit. Crafty Creatives (http://www.craftycreatives.com) are a themed kit company where you pay £12.95 a month to receive a box with a theme. The catch is you don't know what is in the box or the theme! Each box contains a kit also.

This months box's theme was medieval. It had a beautiful beading kit in it to make a lovely bracelet. Beading is not really my thing but I thought I'd have a go. I started at 9am and I could see straight away that the design was beautiful! 

Here are a few pictures from the making process. The colours were beautiful and picked out the theme perfectly.

I managed to finish my kit (after being in town for the dentist too!) at about 2pm, but found this method of beading amazing. Thank you crafty creatives for this opportunity! 

Just one more thing before I go! Here is a preview of my jewellery on London Jewellery School's Facebook page.

Thank you for reading today.
