Christmas Part 3!

This is the 3rd Hunkydory Christmas kit I've made samples for and it launched on Create and Craft TV on Friday so I can now share the pictures of what I made. 
This kit is printed on foiled card so it is very shiny and festive (but not always easy to photograph!) There was also foiled acetate to go with the kit and one of our design brief challenges was to make a sample where the acetate was the main element, I had to think hard about this one but hope that my acetate basket place setting for the Christmas Dinner table fitted the bill.












 Not sure what our next kit will be but as I'm busy over the next few weeks (son's 18th birthday then 2 weeks holiday!) I probably won't be doing any more until the nearly the middle of August and as my 6 months finishes at the end of August I may only have 1 or 2 more kits to do for Hunkydory which will be sad as I've really enjoyed doing them all (even the ones that challenged me)

Christmas catch-up!

 Just realised I've not posted on here for a while! I've had a busy time making samples as well as orders for customers (and we had a minor technology failure in June which meant the laptop had to go to be sorted!) 
Most of the samples I have been making for Hunkydory crafts have been Christmas ones (yes we know it's only July but us crafters have to be organised) There was a very large Christmas Blockbuster of toppers and matching cardstock in 4 different styles and then there was a 3D decoupage kit (my favourite technique) there is another kit that is absolutely gorgeous but that doesn't launch until tomorrow so I will wait to share those photos next time. 
My craft room has also been progressing rather well (just final fix for electricity to go, then paint charts and carpet/lino samples and a trip to Ikea!) so I'm getting excited about having a space where I can craft without having to clear boxes off my desk/chair before I can start then put them all away again before we go to bed (presently my craft space is a corner of our bedroom) 
Hope you're ready for an overload of Festive photographs 🎄🎅
Round 1!!











































And round 2!
