GDT Hanglar & Wings

Hello dear hÄnglar & Wings friends!

Today I am sharing with you this cookie gift bag created with the Pepparkakskille set. This set comes in three parts. The image and two sentiments - cookies (which I have stamped on craft paper and attached to the inner bag) and gingerbread which is a larger sentiment and can be utilised on your projects.





I have coloured the image up with distress inks and created a different type of paper bag with inserts to turn it into a carry holder for my cookies inside.





The ‘handmade with love’ stamped sentiment at the low left corner is also a Hanglar & Wings stamp. It comes with a full set of different sentiment stamps which you can use to personalise your creations (Handmade English).

Wish you all a great weekend ahead

Crafteezee All Dressed Up - What to Wear?

Hello dear Crafteezee friends!

Sharing with you today my latest creation using the new All Dressed Up Stamps. 



This set is called 'What to Wear?' comes with different stamps to use either in one whole set or else using parts of it.


I have coloured this lady up with distress inks


I have used the Maja Design paper itself and stamped the small images on both white cardstock and design paper and used foam pads to pop them up.  Have done so on the hat boxes and the bag hanging by the door frame.

I have stamped the chandelier on the paper directly


Other parts like the crown on this card I stamped on kraft paper itself at the background.


I have embossed the sentiment and framed it to give it prominence :)

Sending you lots of love your way

xoxo

Laserowe love Christmas Bell



Dearest friends hope you are all doing well and had a great week full of crafting :)

Just a heads up from me that today we are going to be on Hochanda - Tracy will be on at 1200 UK time so make sure you follow us for some great surprises.

For today I have used the lovely Laserowelove Bell from the newest collection in our shop. Make sure to go in and check out what we have in store for you - so many shapes and designs to use for your lovely paper projects.









These are the paper flowers from about two weeks ago which I have combined with the lovely Mintay and Maja Design papers to create this Christmas shaker bell.








I have also used chipboard snowflake and bauble from Scrapiniec.  

Links to all the items I have used are down below.





I have embossed my acetate and used stickles and gesso all around.




Added on some lovely red plum beads under the paper flowers. The dies to create the flowers are from Rosy Owl Poinsietta.



Wishing you a great new week ahead

TOMIC Halloween Inspiration


Hello dear Magnolia friends xxx

I hope you are all doing well today and enjoying your weekend.

I am back with you today with a shadow box I have created in conjunction with the new Magnolia Collection - Halloween & Spooky aren't they adorable :)




I have coloured Tilda with distress inks - pumice stone, black soot, milled lavender and off course the vintage photo, tattered rose and festive berries for the cheeks.

I have masked her and stamped the window at the back and kept the same colour combo

I have crafted the shadow box myself and covered it with Lemoncraft paper


The gate is from So Wrapped Doohickey Fence Cutting Die cut out from black cardstock and then I used some white gesso on it. The spooky sign is a tag from Doohickey Vol 22


I have also used the tree from Doohickey Volume 22 in the corner and placed some natural sisal around before putting in the flowers. Then I have placed gesso all around to distress it even further.

The spider web comes with the collection as well and I placed it just under the tree.


Can you spot the small metal corner feet on this shadow box? There is also a small metal handle on the top of the box.

Hope you have enjoyed what the Magnolia Design Team have created for you today and we hope to have inspired you in creating your own Halloween projects !

Lots of love

All Dress Up Winter Angel


Hello again from me......and Happy Sunday to you all!

Today I want to share with you this sweet Winter Angel from the All Dressed Up new stamps.

We have good news for you.....these girls are going to promoted on Hochanda TV by the lovely Tracy on Sunday 20th October at 1200 so stay tuned and we hope you enjoy the show :)



I have coloured this stamp with copics and created a paper bag for Christmas goodies.


I have kept it monochrome style by sticking to the same colour as the paper in the background. Added on stickles all around and gesso on the flowers.


At the back of the image I have used some corrugated kraft paper and used gesso on it to distress it. Flowers are all from our shop.

Can you spot the Scrapiniec Monograce background at the back?


I have also added on the frosted pomegranates which are so cute and look gorgeous as if they are sugar coated.


Hope you will be able to watch the show on Sunday and we look forward to seeing your creations with the lovely All Dressed Up Stamps :)

Lots of love

Hanglar & Wings Halloween Witch

Hi everyone hope you're having a great week.

I am back with you today with a Halloween card which I created using the lovely girl from Sittande Häxor. This collection has two sets of sentiments and I decided to go for the 'it's just a bunch of hocus pocus'.
It's one of my favourite ones with her pointy hat and broom.

 
 
 

I have gone for the staple colours orange and purple associated with Halloween and coloured her up with pencils on kraft paper.  I have die cut her with a round die leaving the broom out of course. I have used a chipboard round frame around her and die cut some decoration and embellishments. Gesso is quite in at the minute so you will be seeing me using it on almost all of my projects - I love experimenting haha.
 

Flowers are of course a must and in this case I have used quite a bit :)

Hope you are happily creating your Halloween projects with the beautiful Hanglar & Wings
images and look forward to seeing your creations.

Lots of love,

Claire

TOMIC October Challenge - Monochrome

Hello crafty friends and good morning.

We have started a new month and so comes a new TOMIC Challenge. Remember that when you participate you are in a competition to win a prize from Magnolia.

The theme we have chosen for you is Monochrome and I must say it was hard for me to create something with just three/four pencil colours. I have used Faber Castell Albrecht Durer and added on some pink to spice it up with some colour.


I have used kraft paper as the base of the card, Maja Design papers, some lace and a doily at the back and some Magnolia doohickey dies. Flowers added on and a metal filigree cabochon base on the top corner.

Hope you like my inspiration for you this month and we hope to see more of you participate in TOMIC.

Hanglar & Wings - Sea horses


Good morning everyone!

I have been asked to be Guest Designer for Hanglar & Wings for the month of October.


I was so happy to see their comeback and seeing new stamps and sentiments being produced.

I have created a lollipop shaker card for my first entry.



In the set you get two lovely sea horses facing each other and two sentiments. So I decided to create a male and female version.



I have stamped the sentiment in the centre and embossed some acetate to create the shaker centre part. Some pink glitter and small stars were added.



I have used gesso all over this lollipop card to make it look vintage. Cheesecloth and lace from underneath the sea horses and shaker part to rough it up.



I have filled up a small bottle with pink glitter and added it underneath the flowers. I have also included a frame around the sentiment on the top part to give it attention.

I have utilised a wooden stick as a base for my card since it's heavy.



The sea horses have been coloured with distress ink reinkers and fussy cut. Sisal in turquoise colour and matching flowers all around. I have used Maja Design paper to create this :)

Hope you like my creation and I wish you all a great day !
