More CCbox11 makes...

This months box is so amazing that I just can't put it down! Here are a few more of my makes from THE GLAMOUR BOX! 

Pretty stardust bead bracelet and earring set. (I still have one bead left that could possibly turn into a ring!) 

My beautiful Gatsby hair clasp. I really loved the kit this month. And I will defiantly be creating more like this! 

I wonder what the kit will be next month in the Birthday box!!!! 

CCbox11 makes...

First couple of quick makes with box 11... A pair of earrings for my mother-in-laws birthday and some embossed wrapping paper to wrap them in! 

I love the Swarovski crystals! Might invest in some more!

I used to use this technique many years ago when I studied fashion at college. I used my lace stamp from box 11, my silver ink and some embossing powder (also silver) oh and my heat gun! Simple, easy and beautiful! 

Crafty Creatives Box 11....

SPOILER ALERT!!!! If you haven't got your box yet and want a surprise please don't read!  

After my disappointment with my postman yesterday, today my box arrived! AND Its my day off today so I was even more excited as I knew I could get stuck straight in! 

Drum roll please.... This months box them is THE GLAMOUR BOX! Inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Hollywood Circa 1940, this months box is sparkly and glam and full to the brim as always! 

What's in the box????

Art Card - Artist Lianne Williams brings us our art card this month and it certainly fits the theme! Check out her website www.liannewilliams.com for more of her amazing work! 

CC Kit - I am loving this months kit! How to make a gorgeous decorative beaded hair clip. I have been making quite a few hair clips/bows recently so this is perfect! 

 

Beaded Fluffy Trim - Very 1920's would look amazing on a bag or to finish off a cushion? 

10 Swarovski crystal beads in a velvet pouch - WOW! How amazing are these! I think I've received light rose! Or maybe vintage rose? Anyway they are pink! I like the sound of the other colours too though...(emerald green and crushed silk) which did you get out of the four? 

Photo glue - I use ridiculous amounts of this stuff! And I've run out so I am glad to have this in the box :)

8 Star dust beads - These are so beautiful and very glam indeed! 

Lace stamp - My fave item in the box! I absolutely LOVE stamping and I can't wait to use this! 

Ink pad - I got silver! I actually own a full set of these inks already! So I can use all five colours that were in the boxes this month! (Black, red, gold, silver and pink) which did you get???

Bag of metallic stardust - do I dare put this on my nails???? I think I do! 

Fat quarter of black velvet - so so much I can do with this! Bag, bow, flower... 

Red rose pendant - again so many uses but I think mine will prob end up on a hair clip. 

Pair of silver plated rhinestone faceted teardrops - will def be turned into earrings! 

Plus.. Crafty essential; a set of findings to make earrings with and some jump rings too! 

Wow what a box! Remember to check out our Pinterest page where I help the crafty creatives with inspiration for each box they create!

The next box will mark the Crafty Creatives 1st birthday! What would you like to see in the birthday box? 

Thanks for reading and watch out for my posts of what I make with #CCbox11 

Baby girl shirred dress...

This dress was inspired by the Crafty Creatives spots and stripes box! I used the striped red and white fabric that I received in my box. 

I had so much fun making this dress! After watching the great British sewing bee I decided it was time to start making clothes again. This dress was featured on the show and needs no pattern! I added spotty pockets and straps to mine. And I also decided to do French seams as it is for a baby. So many people have asked me to make these for their little girl and I can't wait to make more! 

Crafty Creatives Blue makes....

Just a quick post to show some of the things I have made with Box 10. I really loved this box and found it hard to put the fabric down! 

I love my new pin cushion! So easy to make and very useful! 

This is a bag but it isn't quite finished yet, I need to add a chain and some sort of flower embellishment to finish it off.

A quick coaster I made so I can put my coffee safely on my desk to keep me up all night crafting away! 

My jumping clay creations! This stuff is amazing and I will definitely be purchasing some more! It was so easy to mould with and blending the colours was a piece of cake! 

Thank you for reading, box 11 arrives next week! So watch this space! 

CCBOX 10...

It's here! I can't believe we are at box ten already! Two more months and its the crafty creatives birthday!

This months theme is... BLUE!

So what's in the box I hear you say!

•Art Card: I love the pretty picture on this months art card, created by the talented Catherine Moody. Visit her website at www.catherinemoody.co.uk

•CCKIT: Make your own bluebird mobile. I love this and it doesn't look too tricky either!

•Felt balls: All the way from Nepal, in shades of blue of course! Would be nice on a piece of jewellery or maybe a card...

•Glitter and seed beads from stix2: the beads would be great on some jewellery and the centre tube of fine glitter balls would look lush on my nails!

•Mini blank canvas: so many possibilities! Not sure what I shall create yet!

•Three 59ml pots of premium Americana acrylic paint from DecoArt: three great shades of blue. I am thinking of painting a wooden trinket box for my daughter.

•Selection of tiny blue glass beads from Musha Makes: Think I might use these on the canvas board maybe???

•Jumping Clay: This looks so exciting! I've never seen this before so I'm looking forward to trying it.

•Sheets of a5 blue card and paper: the textures of these are fab and will def be featuring on a card!

•Fat quarter of 100% cotton fabric: I live the pretty pattern I received! Might make a nice little purse!

•Two Bluebird pendants: def going on a summer necklace! Or maybe a bracelet...


As usual the box is packed full of great quality products, and I can't help wonder what the birthday box will be filled with??? Only one more box until we are on the birthday box... Will the crafty creatives team go with a birthday theme? Or maybe an item from each of the previous boxes?

Now off to make a purse with that lush fabric I think... First things first though, kettle on!

Apron and matching hair clip...

It was my sons friend Lena's Birthday yesterday and this is what I made her. Her mother had mentioned that she wanted a play apron so I thought I would give it a go! The trim was a bit tricky but I got there in the end! I love making hair clips so I made her one to match her apron. Hope you like them!
