Christmas ball #4 and Tattered Angels Color Connection

Hello! Here I am and I want to share another christmas ball with you. This one is a little bit more wintry with its blue shades. I love winter time that goes hand in hand with christmas and creates the perfect atmosphere.

I created a little christmas tree out of small gears from old broken clocks. The little christmas tree is standing on a glittery hill and has a star going arround it. The bottom part of the ball is covered with patterened paper on the inside and of course the gouze covering on the outside (I just can't help using this technique with my balls :-) ) I used also a Pinkpaislee adornment that I transformed it from a hokus pokus style to a winter themed tag. There is a Tattered angels leave chip that I covered with some Glimmer glaze and also with transparent crackle paint and a grungeboard snowflacke. Having all the ball in winte colors there was necessary to put a touch of red - a red and white string.


















There are some additional news.... Tattered Angels is so excited to announce some new members to our Color Connections Team!!!! Both of these companies will be such an asset to Color Connections. They both bring so many different opportunities for creative growth to the Tattered Angels table. Please give a big Tattered Angels welcome to:



Basically Bare AND Canvas Corp!!!




That's just super exciting!!!!!!



Have a wonderful day and enjoy creating!

Christmas ball #3

Hello everyone! Finally I'm back!!! What happened? Well I had to take my PC to the computer hospital because one day just nothing happened after switching on the power button. I don't know what is happening because few days before the computer breakdown my dishewasher and washing machine refused to work!?!?!?!
Anyway I'm back and I'm posting my new christmas ball #3. I think making them in this period became part of my christmas tradition. This time I misted the top of the ball and some small Prima roses with red Glimmer mist and add also some pastel Prima flowers, velvet leaves and showered the ball with some tiny crystals. The base of the ball is also traditionally made using glue, gauze and white paint.





I hope my computer will work at least for some days to make some other post of my christmas creations 2011. Keep your fingers crossed :-) and have a wonderful time!!!!

Altered ornaments and more...

It was still autumn when I saw two flatted ball ornaments at IKEA just for 50 cents. They were red with just a few white spots and perfect to richly decorate them and use them as a kind of a christmas treats for unexpected guests. I grabbed many packeges and some days ago I dressed them as I wanted: white cracle paint, glittery swirls, satin bows, warm wishes and a pinch of distressing. So simple but I have to say they fully perform their mission and bring smiles on the people faces.

I wanted to share another thing: a few days ago girls from a challenge blog named CRAFTY PANTKY contacted me, asking me if I wanted to take part to their alternative Christmas tree challenge, with my Christmas trees as a inspiration for the contestants. I have to say I always have fun with cooperating and I was immidiatly in. So, if you have a different christmas tree, you can participate to the challenge or in alternative, you can visit their blog for some inspo and there's a lot in there. Thank you so much Crafty pantky girls, I'll be arround and have a merry merry Christmas!!!!!


I also have to remind you that at the TAAFOMFT we are running a chllenge with the fave LO!!!!!!! So, hurry up and look up into your files and find which one was the best in this year. Tell me if this is not easy and fun!!! Here is mine....

The prize is great and remember: the winner will be picked randomly = a lot of chances to win!!!!!
Paper dreams to all!!!

Santa's surprise hat

Do you remember the surprise witch hat? How could I've missed to make a Santa's hat with the same purpose??? The difference is that this time the hat is covered with red fabric. I also made some distressing touches to it with acrilyc paint. Some extra embellishments give to it a more festive note but it remains traditional at the same time.

The surprise is a Christmas tree made from paper lucky stars that I made from music paper. A reindeer is flying around it, announcing, that someone special is coming to town (I hope you've been good). Some sparkles of glitter and shiny stars are necessary in this time of the year, aren't they?





Paper dreams to all!!

Egg carton tree tutorial

Do you want a really simple idea to make a tiny Christmas tree (another????? :-)). Here you are: a tree made out of the egg carton container: simple, fast, coreographic!


Step 1: Take an egg carton and cut the center like showing in the photo.

Step 2: Cut the four cones and keep also the ends of it.


Step 3: Cut the ends in half to get four additional pieces.


Step 4: Position the cones one on the other with a light pressure. If you want you can add a bit of glue to make it more firm.


Step 5: Cut the four remaining pieces into a triangle.


Step 6: Apply them at the bottom of the tree with some glue.


...Voila! Your tiny tree is done. Proceed with decorating!



I hope you like this fast and simple idea! Have a great day!

Custom Christmas ball

Do you remember my surprise Christmas Ball? Well, a person send me an e-mail telling me that she immidiatly fell in love with it after seeing it and if I can make another one for her. I said that it was possible and if she can tell me something about her, just to make the second one a little bit different and more personalized. She said to include a little plane and that was enough for inspiring me! In fact this one is similar to the first one but different at the same time. The part I love the most is actually this little airplane flying arround the tiny tree....









I'll be back soon as I have 3 projects on my table to finish, of course, Christmas themed :-)

Have a nice day!

Christamas mail box


I already saw these wonderful mail boxes to adorn. In fact you can buy them but I was too anxious to start and I just make it on my own out of chipboard. I thik they are simply irresistable and you can myke them as perfect Christmas gifts. Who wouldn't be happy to receve on e of these?
The funny thing of this one is that I wanted to cover the vine branches with snow and I just took some white acrilyc and mixed in some UTEE and when dry it looks just like snow. Of course the addition of some blinks makes it more prescious and I see it like sun that is shining on cristal white snow.
I decided to hang some christmas balls on the branches and I used grungeboard because is rigid and resistant in time.







It's logical that a mail box can't be empty. I'm always excited when I find something in it (of cvourse not bills :-)). I created a mini using old envelopes.

Also for this mini I used a ribbon banner that I already talked about and as I said here is a tutorial how to do it. It's soooooo simple but has a great effect in my oppinion.
You'll need:
-large ribbon
-a stripe of cardstock
-glue stick
-scissors

Step 1: Apply the glue on the cardstock.

Step2: Apply the cardstock on the ribbon.

Step 3: Cut out the extremes of the banner.


Step 4
: Now you can give your ribbon the shape you want.

I hope you liked it and use it in your projects. Have a nice weekend!!!!

Lace Christmas trees ...again

Hi everybody. I was busy again with cutting the curtaain :-) and there are two new lace trees. The only difference is that this time I sprayed them with glimmer mist to make them green because my mom loves green christamas trees and these two are going strainght to her home. I added two paper stripes with her favorite christmas songs: White Christmas abd Let it snow. Of course, glitter and blinks in abundance!!!! I tried to put some red on them but it just didn't fit somehow... so, they are more like forest christmas trees. Maybe I'll find something red to put on them...





















Thank you for stopping and have a great december full of goodies!!!!!
