Paper Frosting Friday & Christmas in July day 5!

Morning crafty friends, hope you're all well.

Here we are at Friday again, this year is whizzing past so, so fast I think

I might get left behind if I'm not careful!

So, in my little corner of Blogland Friday means Paper Frosting day, (my

name for the little paper embellishments I like to make) and as I'm challenging

 myself to make only Christmas themed makes in July I'm going to combine the two.

Paper Frosting doesn't need to be difficult, it can be as fussy & fancy, as CAS or

as basic as you like......there's no rules. I chose to go the simplest route today, just

basic shapes in lovely colours.......they can be used for allsorts - card making,

scrapbooking, use them in your journal, your planner, for home decor.....

really, there's no limits.......and it's a great way to use up your scraps!

Simple mating & layering, on foam pads for a bit of extra dimension, then

I added the die cut snowflakes.....a Tim Holtz chit chat word sticker & a

faux pearl to finish.....so simple but I love them.

Later on in the month I'll show you how I like to use them.

Rightio, that's my lot for today.....thanks for calling & for any comments

you might leave.....have a lovely day.

See you tomorrow!

Don't forget, my CHRISTMAS IN JULY challenge is here.

Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi friends......it's Friday....again! Where do the days go?

Hope you're all well & have something nice planned for the weekend, I have

my gorgeous Grandson, Asher coming for tea with his Daddy.

Today I have some of my Paper Frosting to share, this time I've used the

Freshly Cut Flowers decoupage pack from Docrafts/Papermania.......

.....as well as a few little extras from my stash!

Short & sweet from me today so thanks for calling, wishing you a

wonderful day......see you tomorrow!

Paper Frosting Friday!

Woohoo.....it's Friday! Probably my favourite day of the week, I should

maybe change it to AsherDay as it's the day I have my gorgeous grandson..

....and I get to keep him overnight too. After tea we have bathtime, oh my,

that boy loves water...then it's snuggle time before bed. Tomorrow we might 

have a lazy day at home or we'll maybe go shopping depending on the 

weather.........but whatever we decide to do it'll involve lots of cuddles.

So being Friday it's also Paper Frosting Friday....the day of the week for me 

to share some handmade embellishments. Why Paper Frosting?Well,I just 

think embellishments is a bit of a mouthful & Paper Frosting sounds much

 nicer! Today I have some beautiful white poinsettias to share.....very quick &

 easy I simply die cut all the elements needed, glued them all together & 

finished each one with a faux pearl. The base layer is either silver x 3 & 

gold x 3....just cos it's a bit more Christmas like lol.

If you have any Paper Frosting to share do leave me a comment so's I can

come have a look.....I'd love to see.

Thanks for calling today, whatever you're up to have a lovely day.

Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi friends, happy Friday....it's a beautiful day here on the Yorkshire Coast, the

sun is shining, the sky is blue......and it's Paper Frosting Friday.....my

 day of the week to share some home made embellishments......don't you think

paper frosting sounds much nicer?

Anyway. I have the simplest of makes to share today.....super quick & easy & a great 

way to use up some scraps. I used kraft card & more of the pages from my damaged

 Harry Potter book.......but I promise that'll be the last for a while now lol.

I used only scallop & circle dies, heart dies & finished each one with a faux pearl.

Thanks for visiting & for any comments you might leave, I appreciate them so

much......whatever you're up to hope you have a lovely day.

Paper Frosting Friday!

    

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well & looking forward to the weekend.

So it's Paper Frosting Friday again.....the day I share my handmade embellishments......

......why Paper Frosting? Well, just because embellishments is such a mouthful.....

and paper frosting sounds so much nicer, I think.

So today I have some Harry Potter inspired envelopes to share, perfect for scrapbook 

pages, journals, card making........I'm sure there's many uses for them. I used more pages

 from my water damaged Harry Potter book, added an insert for journaling, stamping

etc., or you could add cinema tickets and/or receipts. What do you think? I wanted to

 keep them fairly plain then they could be added to as & when required.

Rightio, almost tea time so I better dash.....thanks for calling & for any comments

you might leave......see you over the weekend!

Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi crafty friends & bloggers, hope you're all well.

I know I say it every week but oh my, don't these Friday's come around quick?

So it's Paper Frosting Friday again......the day I share my handmade embellishments...

......why paper Frosting? Well, just because embellishments is such a mouthful.....

and Paper Frosting sounds so much nicer, I think.

So this week I have some handmade flowers to share. I made these with some leather

offcuts and a Harry Potter book that was sadly water damaged & I couldn't bring myself

to throw it away. I started with a die cut leather base, added layers of die cut book

pages & finished with a faux pearl centre. It's quite hard to see all the layers in the pic

but IRL when they're all scrunched up they look so good.

Here's a close up:

Rightio, that's me for today.....thanks for calling & for any comments you might

leave......have a lovely weekend.

Paper Frosting Friday!

Morning friends.....happy Friday.......and what a dull, grey & wet day is is too!

Hope you're all well & have something nice

planned for the weekend......and maybe a little craft time planned too?

So as it's Friday (don't they come around quick?) it's time to share some more

of my paper frosting......my handmade card/scrap/journal pieces although

I think they could maybe be used for all sorts of other things!

I made some little word tags this week using inspirational/motivational words

and some scraps of paper left over from a Tim Holtz paper pad. I simply cut the 

paper to the size I wanted.....added the computer printed words, punched a hole

& finished with some leather cord.......job done!

Thanks for calling......see you at the weekend!

Paper Frosting Friday!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers, thanks for popping by my little blog.

I hope you're all well & looking forward to the weekend.....do you have anything

nice planned? I'm having my darling grandson & am thinking we might pop

into town.......and I should really be thinking about starting some

Christmas shopping!

Anyway, it's Friday again and that means more Paper Frosting!

This week I made poppies....beautiful die cut poppies, sentiment banners and

a bigger topper......all suitable for your cards & scrapbooks and all made using

 bits & bobs too which is always a bonus.

Rightio, coffee time.....thanks for calling & whatever you're up to have a lovely

day......see you tomorrow!

Don't forget, there's still a few days left to enter my CANDY

Paper Frosting Friday!

Morning crafty bloggers.....hope you're all safe, well & warm.

Wow, what a night.....wind & rain like we've not had for a long time last night,

the poor cats were terrified, the dogs kept barking & I hardly slept a

wink lol........might have to have a little snooze this aft!

So here we are.......Friday again, the weeks are flying past that quick I

can barely keep up.....and I'm way behind on Christmas plans already. Mind you, 

that's maybe because I decided to re-arrange the whole downstairs of

our house! Oooops, I'm waffling again.......Friday means......Paper Frosting

and today it's Halloween themed......poison bottles! Simply made using only die

cuts & a couple of gems I think these are a quick & easy make....and not

too scary for the kids!

Rightio, better get me a move on......thanks for calling today.....whatever you're

up to hope your days a good one!

Don't forget......I have CANDY if you'd like to enter!

Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi crafty friends..... welcome to Paper Frosting Friday......hope you're all well.
For my paper frosting today I've gone with a Halloween theme.....got to admit though
I did get a bit carried away so you'll probably be seeing a lot more!
I used my banner dies to cut the base layer from scraps, the words I printed
out & simply layered onto the patterned paper then I finished with some twine
tied around the ends. Perfect little bits of frosting for cards, scrapbook, journals
......in fact useful for almost anything!
Rightio, better get a move on.......got my little grandson coming to stay later on.
Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave......much appreciated!

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well.....and welcome to Paper Frosting Friday!

Today I have some Halloween frosting to share.....a set of mason jars filled with some

 perfectly scary Halloween creatures.......just right for cards, layouts, journals,

 maybe even good for a home decor project!

To make I simply stamped then die cut the mason jar, added the die cut filling, added

some faux gems then finished with some bakers twine tied around the jar top!

Rightio, that's my lot for today.....looking forward to having my Grandson  later.

Thanks for calling & whatever you're up to......have a lovely day!
