Matchboxes ...


Hi everyone,

It's time to share a little creativity with you all.  I recently purchased a new die cutting machine and it came with a few do-dads and one of those do-dads was a large matchbox metal die set.

Have to say that I am having a ball making up some new wee trinket boxes.



Here you go ...




and tucked inside this matchbox ...


A gift card as well.



And a special tag.





How about in a different colour scheme?

I really dug deep with this paper in my stash - a Prima paper from either 2009 or 2010.


Another special matchbox - open the drawer and you will find a matching tag.


A lined drawer.


Have to say, I love how this one turned out.


Nice fresh, Spring colours - a little colour in an otherwise dreary day 
- bear in mind it's the middle of Winter in my part of the world.


And Christmas will be knocking on our door soon.

Watch this space -  new advent calendar in the making.

Happy creating everyone.

Berries and kisses ...


Sometimes you receive a collection of papers and you have so many ideas running through your head and you really just don't know which direction you should take.

Sometimes you receive a collection of papers and you just go for it.

A bit like this collection from FabScraps - C86 - Mother Earth Collection.

I saw the papers, I had been doing a little retail therapy, saw something else, had a special day coming up and everything just fell into place really.

Love you ...



Take one glass jar with a stainless lid.

Cut a piece of patterned paper C86 008 - Berry Bliss 5 inches by 12 inches.

Now cut another piece of the same paper 5 inches and say 4 inches and using a lacy doily punch, punch the edge, tuck it under the large piece of paper and adhere.

Why, because the diameter was a wee bit more than the 12 inches and you would have had a gap.

See that lacy edge?



Cut a circle of the same paper and adhere to the top of the lid leaving a little of the stainless on the lid free to see the edge of it poking out.

Cut out two hearts from corrugated cardboard packaging - tear a little of the top layer.

Cut another two hearts using your patterned paper and tear roughly
 and adhere to the packaging hearts.


Tie a backboard shape using twine around the front of your jar.

I've used a shaped die and cut out the shape on white cardstock and then again using the Berry Bliss patterned paper and adhered together for stability.

I've used a 'love' word punch and punched out on white cardstock and again layered a couple of the words for thickness and stability.

Adhere to the top of the die cut scroll and then adhere to the top of the chalkboard sign.

I've then used small alpha stickers and added the world 'you' underneath.

A pink peg to the top of the left hand side completed the chalkboard.


On top of the patterned paper on the lid I have built a cluster of embellishments using Petaloo fruit vines, leaves, muslin [cheesecloth], flowers and my hearts.

Randomly apply gesso.


Here you go ...


and tucked inside - a jar full of wild berries [lollies] and chocolate Hershey kisses

A gift for my darling husband - berries and kisses.

Happy 30th wedding anniversary Mr Friz.

I will always love you.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

For all the days before and all the days to come.

You are my world.

Forever.




Happy creating.

Shabby Rose ...

A new release coming to a retailer near you ...

and in my opinion - my most favourite FabScraps release to date!


Shabby Rose


and a little creativity, just for you ...


Cut two paper hearts.



Stitch around the edges, but leave a gap so that you can stuff it with a little wadding to give it shape.

Then stitch up the gap.


Cut out a couple of flower shapes using a Prima metal die shape.


Tweak and manipulate the paper flower with your fingertips.


Build up an embellishment cluster on the right hand side, layering muslin [cheesecloth], stamens, paper foliage, flowers etc until you are happy with the end result.


Another closer look at that embellishment cluster.


I have removed the glass from the frame  and replaced with the same background patterned paper.

I have adhered two cotton reels to the frame.

Adhere a set of feather wings.

Adhere your heart.

Add a sentiment to the left hand side.

Randomly apply gesso.


Happy creating everyone.




How about another one ...

 Hi there and welcome back. Yep, I'm on a roll. I realised that I hadn't shared this layout - another one ... White, green and orang...
