Gingerbread Bunting

Do you remember my Gingerbread Bunting I made back in the summer?


Well, it is now a kit😃

Linen fabric, satin gingerbread ribbon tags, grosgrain advent numbers and bias binding is all included, as well as the instructions. 
I used a sewing machine to make the bunting, but you could hand sew it if you wished.


The p
ockets are large enough for a small treat, chocolate coins or as I keep telling Tony a diamond ring or two !
Find the new kit here 

Enjoy your day

Christmas Ornament

Sarah here today with a festive ornament using the Unicorn Christmas ribbon.

To create this mixed media star bauble I started out with some gesso to prep the ornament blank. I added layers of texture and crackle paste to add some interest and layers of cheesecloth and tulle.


Then I added mini pine cones, moulded clay shapes and a snowflake again coated in gesso. With some paints and spray in blues and greens I added a touch of colour diluted down with water from a spray bottle.


Once dry I added flowers in pinks and blue to match my ribbon and then coated the ornament in white paint, snowflake and unicorn pastes by Prima to add a frosty effect.


Finally I added my ribbon followed by some pink seam binding in a bow at the top.
You can check out the process in detail in the video linked here.


Thanks for joining me and have a Happy Crafty Day :)

Hi Everyone
Wendy L, Spanish Crafter here to show you another couple of Unicorn Cards, showcasing our new Unicorn Grosgrain ribbons available HERE
These are very similar to the two cards I showed the other day.

Both similar design using the Advent ribbon, cut and made into pockets to hold a little card or maybe a voucher or money.
All matted onto Pearlised card embossed with Hearts.


I added one of our heart button in the corner of this one tied with narrow organza ribbon.

A way of using the Advent ribbon as Birthday cards.
