August Crop Artist Trading Coin Swap

Hi all

I thought I would pop on and share with you all this months Artist Trading Coins for the monthly swap we have at Crop Central

This Months theme is Mystical (Fairies, Dragons, Wizards, Unicorns etc)

So here is what I have done

I went for Unicorns this time as I do a fair bit with fairies on so fancied a change, to do these coins I used the following supplies:

2.5 inch circle Die

Distress Inks - Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin

For The Love Of Stamps - Unicorn Dreams

Spectrum Noir Markers

Wink Of Stella - Clear

I can not wait to swap these with the lovely ladies at crop this Saturday  and to see how we have all taken the theme and made it our own and different.

Why not give Artist Trading Coins a go yourself they are a lot of fun and addictive, I can not wait to find out what next months theme is going to be.

Fairyland Sunset Keepsake Box

Hi all and welcome back to my blog 

Today I have a NEW Fairy Keepsake Box to share with you all, This one has been made to go up for sale in an online market night.

I have called this box Fairyland Sunset

I love making these keepsake boxes as each time they are so different I do have plans for more keepsake boxes and not all fairy ones ;) So keep your eyes open for those.

I handcraft these keepsake boxes from scratch using high quality materials and a lot of love and care goes into each one, These can take me anything from 1 to 3 days depending on the design and detail going into them. Each panel design is done one by one using a mixture of inks, stencils and stamping.

Now for individual pictures to show all the detail.

Lid Detail

Side Detail

Front and Back Detail

Inside Lid Detail

I hope you love this one just as much as I do. These boxes make great gifts for fairy lovers and all things mystical.

This one and more of my handmade products will be available to purchase on 3rd Feb at 6pm in the Mermaid Kisses and Pixie Wishes Market Night on Facebook >>>> HERE <<<< You will need the code word to purchase anything in the market night which will be released upon opening over on my Facebook Page >>> HERE <<<

Mystical Notebooks and Diary

Hey Hey 

Well it is very hectic here which is one of the reason why I am a little quiet on the blog front at the moment but there is some posts to come :)

I have been very busy over the last few weeks firstly making products for the Halloween Market Night I took part in then I had class kits to prepare ready for my Stationery Box Class in November and then getting other products made for the next market night all while doing my Design Team projects. I love keeping busy 

So enough blubbering on here is some NEW products which will be available in the Mystical Magical Myth Market Night on 4th - 5th November on Facebook.

First up I have done two A5 Notebooks the first one features the beautiful Unicorn from the Believe In Unicorns Stamp Set

Then we have the second A5 Notebook which I have used a mixture of different stamps on

Finally this beauty which is a Week to View 2018 Diary

The backgrounds on each one of these has been achieved by using Distress Inks and the blending tool along with the stamps and a stencil.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these latest pieces I have been busy working on and hopefully will become a permanent product on my Facebook Page and Etsy Shop

Dragon Eggs and Dragon Egg Lantern

Hi all and welcome back to my blog

Today's post is something a little different I have been wanting to try for a while now and finally got around to giving it a go.

I saw this first done on another blog that i follow regular and have to say I absolutely love Teresa's work, the effect of these is amazing and they look fantastic so many possibilities with them.

So here is my version of some Dragon Eggs and a Dragon Egg Lantern

I also inserted a light into the lantern so it can be lit up at night and it looks amazing when all lit up, I absolutely love making these and already have my fourth egg in the making, which of cause I shall share with you all as soon as it is finished as this one is a little something else.

Here is a few pictures of the lantern lit up

As you can see I even added in some fake grass and some lovely little daisy flowers, to give it the look of the Dragon Egg being in a next in an enchanted forest.

The black dragon egg has been given a glitter effect too which sets it off brilliantly, as I said before the possibilities are endless with these as you can do them in so many different ways, different sizes and so on. I am also hoping to sell some of them too which I am quite excited about as they are something different, also hoping to do one in a lovely chest which I will be decorating all by hand too so watch this space for my Dragon Eggs.

Lastly just to say a big Thank you to Teresa for her inspiration and for the advice and giving me that little push i needed to give this a go, I am so pleased I did and now I can not get enough of making them hehe.
