Swedish House Crafts: January 2020

Translate

Hi! It's Sandie here with my first DT project for Swedish House Crafts. I love to make packaging and boxes so today I am sharing a 4"x4" gift box featuring Love You Watts Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.

The paper I used on this box is Denim & Girls - No Doubt from Maja Designs. I love these papers because they are all double sided and the designs are so easy to work with.

Copic markers used:

Skin - E00, E11, E04

Hair - E50, E53, E33

Shirt/Hairband - YR20, YR21, YR24, YR27

Light - Y13, Y15, Y19, C1, C3

To add dimension to the light bulb I covered it in glossy accents after I coloured it.

That's it from me for today. Thanks so much for dropping by
Sandie

You will be notified by email on 3 February 2020 if you are chosen with suggested posting dates if available and get set up for the blogpost.

We want to be fair and open but we are looking for the best inspirations too. Our choices will be based on the following criteria:
1. What platform you use.
2. Finish of your work.
3. Photography quality.
4. What chocolate you like.. (just kidding).

Anyone can apply no matter.

All the love from me...

Good morning everyone, Laurigami here with you today.

Let me introduce you to my little winter lantern. I used magnolia dies to make it.

I thought the stamp "Pixie Tilda" went really well with my scene. Its been coloured with distress ink.

The back of the lantern is shown here.

I wish you a good day.

hugs

Laurigami

Hi!
Tamara here with you with my latest Magnolia card. I hardly find time to colour these awesome images lately, but when I do I really enjoy it.

Today's card features Magnolia's Best Tea-Cher Ever Art Stamp Kit. I decided to make a Get well card instead, since this image can be used for both.

I coloured the image using Distress ink pads on watercolour paper.

Design papers used are from Maja Design's latest collection called Little Stree Caffee. Love them.

That's it from me today!
Hugs, t.

Good morning everyone!

It's Lou in for you today and I gave myself a little challenge for this make!

Sometimes I feel the need to push myself a bit and for this one, I decided that I would not use any design papers on my make at all.

So all the colour on my make today has come from my promarkers and distress inks and that's it! go me!!!

Whenever I want to make an easel card, I go for that stunning Magnolia stamps The Vintage Box 5. The heart shape with its little punched lace edge is just dreamy. I cut it out in kraft cardstock and then cut an extra one for the front mat. The little die cuts holding up the easel portion are all from the set too. It really is a great card making set. I love it.

Then I drew around the shape of the heart onto my stamping card and cut it out before I stamped Lazy Tilda onto it.

The beautiful swirl stamp is a golden oldie Magnolia stamp from my crafty stash.

One of my favourite dies to embellish any card with is the Bon Voyage Dragonflies. I love their delicate wings. I added a little glossy accents to their 'body' and a little bit of sparkle pen on top of the distress ink coloured wings. I love how they came out.

Hello - It's Lynn here today to share my latest make using my favourite papers Laserowe Love - Love Llama - Complete collection and papers from Maja Design - Shades of Celebration - Monochromes - Complete Collection which complement beautifully.

I had such fun making this album I will show you the different pages I've made below. But first - this is how I fastened the album.

I used the two part Chipboards - Coral, Navy Romance - Peonies arrangement and a little magnet. I put part of the chipboard on the base - covering the blank area with part of the Love Llama papers. Then the other part of the chipboard I attached again with a magnet to my closure tab. I coloured the chipboard using various Distress inks and paints and a little sparkle from a jelly roll pen.

I added the "memories" die by Roxstamps by cutting twice and layering them up.

Here are the inside pages. The ribbon and the dies I used are from my personal stash.

I used the patterned edge of the Maja papers to edge the page of the album.

On the front cover and back cover I used pieces from Laserowe chipboard 6 pieces Cactus.

I'm going to add in photos and items of ephemera from holidays later on.

Hello, everyone.

Donna here with a few projects I have made. Featuring Bloomar Designs beautiful Christmas collection of 3D laser chipboard models and laser chipboard pieces designed by the store owner Margo! I am so in love with her chipboard designs. There are so many gorgeous pieces to choose from, and for every occasion.

I made two exploding boxes. and a mini album.

I used Maja Design 'Holiday in the Alps' 12" x 12" paper collection to decorate all of the projects.

The top of the box is decorated with Bloomar chipboard frame with holly branches, and paper flowers that I made using Lady E poinsettia and leaves die. The stamens and pine cones are from my stash! The holly leaves are cut using the leaves dies.

Links to the products that I have used from Swedish House Crafts and Bloomar Designs can be found at the end of this post.

For my first exploding box I decorated each panel with Maja papers. and matted scallop shaped die cuts on to each panel. I matted papers that I cut using Roxstamps pierced circle die. and adhered each of them to the centre of the scallops with 2mm foam tape.

I adhered the chipboard pieces to each of the side panels. I decorated the pieces with frosted berries, and holly leaves that I cut using Lady E poinsettia and leaves dies.

The enamel dots are from my stash!

I assembled the Bloomar 3D sled and adhered it to the centre. I decorated the top with Bloomar 3D Ho Ho Ho cubes and added artificial snow onto the cubes, sled and floor.

The resin polar bear is from my stash!

The lid of my second box is decorated similar to my first box, but I used Bloomar chipboard frame with snowflakes underneath my arrangement.

The inside of my second box is decorated the same as my first box, but I used different chipboard pieces. These are set 03 chipboard baubles, Christmas garland with hearts and stars, and Christmas garland with baubles hearts and stars.

I used enamel dots from my stash to embellish the Bloomar chipboard snowflakes.

I assembled Bloomar 3D Santas sleigh for the centre of my second box. I coated it with white gesso. and used waxes to give it colour.

I decorated inside Santas sleigh with handmade presents, berries and die cut holly leaves.

My third project is a mini album. I made the base using 300gsm white card, and covered it with Maja Design Holiday in the Alps papers.

I chose to cover the front of my album with traditional Santa. The image is included on one of the
12" x 12" sheets. I added some sparkle to his hair, and beard with a glitter pen. Sadly it doesn't show up in my picture. I dotted his cheeks with a white gelly roll pen.

The beautiful poinsettias are made using Lady E poinsettia and Winter leaves dies. The die is my favourite. I used a glue gun to adhere the flowers placing the leaves, berries, and pine cones around them.

Inside the album is decorated with papers, scalloped die cuts, and pierced circles that are matted onto the scalloped die cuts using 2mm foam tape.

Each of the circles are embellished with Bloomar Design chipboard pieces. On the left circle I have adhered Christmas garland with hearts and stars, and Christmas snowflakes. In the centre circle I adhered Christmas trees and one of the sentiments from word set 03.

On the right circle I adhered Christmas garland with baubles, hearts & stars and Christmas snowflakes. Each of the circles have been embellished with holly leaves, and berries.

The back of my album is decorated with design papers. I made the handle with white card and adhered a panel of monochromes paper onto it. I decorated each end with an antique luxury squared ornament and adhered a pearl button onto each of the ornament centres.
