Handmade Paper Cup and plate.

Here is a paper cup and plate I made as a 
design team member for a 

challenge over at The Vintage challenges blog,

but am only now posting it on my own blog.

A while back I found a template on the web and

just had to try it out.

I used pages from an old book i had to 

decoupage over the paper template I had taped together.

The challenge was to make something with an angel on it.

I used some old gold acrylic paint to add some designs.

My house or yours?

Hey Peeps,

Yes I'm still here! and keeping busy in my artistic little world! Lol.

Just hasn't been much time for blogging latley :O)

and here is one i made earlier, a rustic wee bird house....

From the front.

From the back.

This is a great wee project to make,

I'm sure I will make lots more of these!

follow this link to find the template.

*

The papers, bronze snowflake charm and string are all from

the super sweet shop Minne Hjørne,

stamps are from Panduro, (as is the wooden reindeer, I think...)

and everything is distressed with Tim Holtz vintage Photo.

*

The house can be filled with anything really, as long as it fits in :OD

This one was filled with chocolates before it was given away,

you can just see them through the window

unfortunatly I forgot

to take a photo with the roof off!

Hanging stars

More sleep has been had yiihooo!

Now for some decorations,

'heres one I made earlier' Teehee,

I made the red one whilst at the Ski meet (ski treffet)

They are really simple and easy but beautiful I think.

First I used my star spellbinder to cut out 3 stars from watercolour paper for each finished star.

I then embossed the star stamp from Waltzing Mouse on each. used my bone folder to score down the middle of each star.

Then I used a round spellbinder to cut all the middles out and my crop-a-dile to cut the small hanging circle on each the slapped them together with glue

then threaded the metal snowflakes in place.

I also distressed a bit around the bronze stars that I actually cut out in thin brown card when I think about it :)

Wahhlaah star decoration :)

I should be doing something else now so must dash, back soon!

oh and I am entering these for the

Christmas blog challenge- They want to see a decoration :)

Hugs Nina xx
