Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar ball

One night while cleaning my teeth after working with the Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar papers for The Fruit Pixie a sudden bolt of inspiration popped into my head! Wouldn't the Bohemian Bazaar papers look wonderful as a paper ball! I must admit they do !

If you would like to make one too I have just put a step by step photo tutorial on the Fruit Pixie Blog.

Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar exploding box

I have been playing with the new Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar papers available at The Fruit Pixie. I had been asked a while ago for an exploding box so here it is. Full instructions are on the Fruit Pixie website.

 

Art Journal Caravan 2014 begins

I had so much fun with the AJC last year I have decided to join again this year! So here is my first page, the traditional letter to yourself which includes this years word - Dream and symbol - a star.

ATC swap

Happy New Year everyone!  Now I can show you what I was working on before Christmas. First I took part in a mixed media ATC swap on the Art Journal Caravan. It was a 10 for 10 swap and I decided to do a snow/ winter theme for mine. I used my Gelly plate for the backgrounds and then used the Tumblefish Studio Winter Junque  digital kit for the main images adding a bit of glitter here and a gem there!

I received 10 lovely ATCS in return.

Reindeer glass charms

I made these cute little glass charms for the Fruit Pixie online shop. For full instructions pop over to the Fruit Pixie blog and see how it is done.

Steampunk Christmas card

As soon as I saw this Steampunk Christmas set from U-Mount that is available at The Fruit Pixie, I fell in love with this mechanical bird. A bit more red wing than robin but he is so smart in his top hat! Lets hope we get to see the red wings in the garden this year.

For what I used and how I did it pop over to the Fruit Pixie blog to see my post.

Owl Christmas card

Owls have been everywhere this year and I must admit I love them but then I am a bird girl!

This is such a fun stamp from Crafty Individuals available at the Fruit Pixie, he looks so grand in his crown and bow tie!

The background is the Newspaper Holly background stamp from U-Mount, also available from The Fruit Pixie.

Glitter Christmas gift box

As soon as I saw this new stamp from Crafty Individuals which is available from The Fruit Pixie, I knew I wanted to make a gift box.

I made the box from white card and attached the stamped image, stamped in blue and coloured using distresss ink, to the lid. I then covered it with the wonderful Stix-2 self adhesive sparkly acetate.

I also used the very versatile new embossing folder from Couture Creations called A Magical Time with some Coredinations whitewash card which I sanded back and chopped up to cover the sides of the box. I also used some of the dotty borders from the embossing folder to frame the top image.

The stamp, ink, embossing folder and Stix -2 sparkly acetate are all available from The Fruit Pixie online shop.

Gilded angel card

This is such an elegant stamp available from the Fruit Pixie. I gilded her with the mega flakes from IndigoBlu and teamed her with some vintage music paper for the background.

Starry frame Christmas card

I love this new die frame from Crafty Individuals that is available from the Fruit Pixie, its so delicate and although great for Christmas could also be used for other things. I teamed it with some Black Market Paper  and one of the many images from the Crafty Individuals Christmas miniature pad. All available from The Fruit Pixie on-line shop.

UTEE Snowflake decorations

For my second set of tree decorations for the Fruit Pixie I made some snowflakes! I used Ultra Thick Crystals along with some of the mica flakes and Judikins Rox. I used a cookie cutter to pour the UTEE into. For more information on what I used and how I achieved it pop on over to the Fruit Pixie website.

Ultra thick Embossing clear tree decorations

I have been busy with family Christmas card making and shopping so it was nice to get back to the fun Christmas crafting.

     I have been making some tree decorations using Ultra Thick Embossing crystals for The Fruit Pixie. 

These were made by melting and pouring clear Ultra Thick into a cookie cutter positioned on top of a texture tread. Then coloured with Alcohol ink.

These look lovely in the window and will look beautiful on the tree with fairy lights behind them.

Owl box

Kyrsty Scrap Design has a wonderful new Autumn digital kit called Rainy Autumn Weather, available from Digital Crea

I loved working with this kit, there are so many wonderful images

the owl was one of my favourites so I made a box to show him off

and of course I am a typical British girl who loves her tea!!

Notelet set

Kyrsty Scrap Designs has a new digital kit out called Birdcage, a beautiful kit full of flowers and birds

For my design project I decided to make a gift set of  notelets

Kyrsty's kits are available from Deviant Scrap

Nursery sign

Krysty scrap designs has a new digital kit out called Children's books

for my design project I used the lovely vintage images to make a sign to hang in the nursery. Its such a lovely kit to work with.

Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Easel card

I am still playing with the wonderful Graphic 35 Steampunk Spells collection for the Fruit Pixie. This time I have been playing with the stamp sets.

I have made this easel card using powder blue rather then the dark Halloween colours you usually associate with this papers with and I think it makes them look totally different. 

For full details of what I used please visit the Fruit Pixie blog and for all the stamps and papers used visit The Fruit Pixie online shop.

AJC Port of call 10 Mexico

For October on the AJC we have been in Mexico!! Of course there is one celebration in October in Mexico that you just have to celebrate and that is Dia de los Muertos - Day of the dead. I loved working on this page, adding paint and ink to lovely papers and using images from Finecraft designs and the alphabet form Tangie designs.

AJC Greece page

My second page for the Art journal caravan port of call Greece is this one, a wonderful quote using images form one of my fave designers Tumblefish studios and lots of paint and ink!

Graphic 45 Small Spell book

I just had to make this little book using the Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Vintage Voyage paper and some of the stamps. It make a lovely little book, bound together with a concertina binding.
