Hop over to Glittery Hands Box for the details of this fun wall hanging!

I am absolutely in love with this pine cone rubber stamp from Skull & Cross Buns.  I stamped a whole bunch of the and fussy cut them out... I scored a line right down the middle of each cone and folded them... I then stuck 5 of them together, sandwiching a length of ribbon in the middle. I tied the ribbon ends in a bow and added a few strings of sequins .  I now want to make a set of these to decorate this years Christmas tree! Linking up at Inspire Me Monday

Hello!  It is challenge day over at Crafty Ribbons Challenges .  The theme is one that will probably make a few of you shiver - Christmas!  But it never too early to start making for Christmas, especially if you are a card maker! I have made a few tree decorations.  These are two penguin buttons sewn back to back, with a piece of bling edge 3mm in between.  Cute!  These will be adorning my tree this year... but not for a while yet! Thanks for stopping by!

It's beginning to look a little like Christmas... and you might start receiving cards in the post.  I like to peg mine to my ribbon card holder. To make this I have used hanging baubles from Crafty Ribbons feature range Christmas Charm .  I've added a few bells , some 3mm grosgrain and some mini pegs. It will be hung on my door ready for cards, and every time someone walks past quickly and creates a little breeze, or brushes their arm against it is they walk past, I'll hear a little jingle - it'll make me smile every time!!

Day 10 of Crafty Ribbons' Twelve Days celebrations and I have another cute hanging decoration to share... I have backed a small embroidery loop with some Christmas paper and added a fancy bow.  Simple and cute.  It is really light so would hang on a tree or, as I have, hang on a door handle. I've used vintage ribbon in scarlet for my decorative bow.

It is challenge time at Crafty Ribbons Challenges - the theme is Penguin Pals, picked by me!  I love Bubbles the Penguin.  I even painted him on my nails... For my challenge project I have simply strung up a wire heart filled with baubles.  It is hanging on my craft cupboard door.  I like to think Bubbles is protecting my stash!! You can check out all things penguin here and then join us in our challenge !!

Here is my crazy make for day 6 of Crafty Ribbons' 12 Days of Christmas.  I can only describe it as a hanging decoration.  It is made from a tube from the inside of a roll of cling film, cookie cutters, silver card cards and a reel of ribbon . It is hanging on my door and is so pretty when the light hits it.  The cookie cutters and mirrifoil stars all throw the light in different directions making patterns on the door. Hop over to Crafty Ribbons Inspirations to see what my team mates have made and to join in the giveaway!

Here is a little hanging decoration that I made for today's Advent Celebration at Crafty Ribbons Inspiration I've used the Vintage Christmas range that is exclusive to Crafty Ribbons.   When I want to fussy cut ribbon to layer like this I use gel medium to stick it to very thin paper.  This stops the majority of the fraying.  Also when I have cut the design out I go around the edge with a little matte medium to seal any fibers that might try and 'fluff out' the edges! I think this range of ribbons is my favourite - I just love the colours :)

Finally I can share! Ali has released some of her exclusive Christmas Ribbons today... I've had a play with some ribbon and cookie cutters to make some hanging decorations for Christmas.   They are rather yummy!  Check them out here...
