Christmas Wall Hanger by Carole

Hello everyone

Today Angel Carole is back with a brilliant idea using the
Etched Alphabet die set.

A glittery wall hanger spelling out the word Christmas.


Here you can see the addition of snowflakes and alphabet.



Carole is sharing with us her thoughts on making her projects.

When I had the idea for this project, I didn’t even consider 
how tricky it might be to photograph it. 
Maybe I should have done! 
I’m really pleased with the end result of this, 
but don’t feel the pictures do it justice.

I tried to make each snowflake individual, so had to send to 
Elliott for an emergency snowflake die order! 
I used one 12x12 sheet of glitter paper and the silver lame ribbon 
came from John Lewis.
I used foam tape in between each layer so there’s a nice 3D effect 
and added a few crystals for extra sparkle.

I attached my cards to the ribbon with the extra strong double sided tape 
and used a curtain ring with a clip at the top – also from John Lewis. 


Happy crafting! C : ) xx



Ingredients used:

Etched Alphabet
Create A Flake Three (although Create A Flake Six would also work!)
Matting Basics - Squares
Variety of cardstock
Etched Alphabet is still in the mad sale!
And please check out the other products used - just click on the names
to take you there.

Thank you Carole, you can read more about Carole and visit her blog here.



Back with more inspiration very soon.

Back with an offer!

Hi everyone

If you read Mum's blog you probably know she's been away at 
the NEC Birmingham demonstrating Spellbinders.

She said the most popular item was definitely the Platinum machine,
all visitors to the show got a chance to see other machines 
demonstrated but were definitely favouring the Platinum.
Not surprising with its solid steel core construction and
that you can cut up to 8 layers in a single pass.


Also when used with the range of Contour Steel Rule Dies you can cut through
thin to thick materials from fabric to metal and balsa wood.


And when the machine is folded it's only a fraction larger than the Grand Calibur.


Right now on the website the Platinum is on very special offer
and don't forget it is free postage too.

larger plates, magnetic platform and of course the 

Take a look!

All the best.
