Christmas wishes

 Hello creative friends!

 Transform old items into new ones.
I came across an old Christmas decoration that was in great condition but not my style.

 I choose some Christmas MDF shapes and painted it white and blue and adding some glitter and gold accents. I had a few extra snowflakes from the snowflake wreath, so I used them as Christmas tree toppers. With a few bows, cones and bells, I quickly put together a new decoration to wish visitors a merry Christmas in the hallway.

Christmas Deco - Vintage sled

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 There's nothing like the desire for snow at Christmas. Imagine a Christmas evening

 by the crackling fireplace, in the glow of the candles and the snow trickling softly outside. Unfortunately, it's just a wish these days, 

so I've made it the theme on this amazing vintage-style sleigh.

 It's very easy to assemble. There are so many ways you can design it.

 I used the lettering 'Let it snow', painted and decorated with  textured snow

 and white embossing powder for the snow stars and fir branches. 

I also added a few extra decorations like bells, ribbons, cones,

 feathers and pompoms to make a sleigh you can either hang or stand upright.

 I hope you have a great Advent season!

Merry Grinchmas Planer

 

 Hello!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we all want to make sure we please our loved ones with the right presents, a special Christmas dinner, a perfectly decorated Christmas tree, a spotless flat and so on. In this day and age, the motto is More is more. 

I'm sure you all know this problems. There are days when I feel like the well-known Grinch.

But does everything have to be perfect?

  

 

 I had a lot of fun putting these mood book (planner) pages together.

 You can use chipboard scraps or just individual parts of the chippies, 

add a little glitter dust and metallic paint, and you've got a special highlight on the page.

Cosy Fireplace

 

 Hello!

 

 Christmas is just around the corner, and it's cold and uncomfortable outside again. 

The garden is in hibernation, which is the perfect time to make it cosy inside again. 

But it's also time to think about Christmas presents, 

so I gave the fireplace a festive look with a small string of LED lights.

Forest Fairy Lantern

 

 Hello creative friends !

 

 I'm a big fan of lanterns in all shapes, colours and sizes. 

They're great for providing light and warmth, especially during the dark season. 

Recently, I've been inspired by the forest as magic theme a lot. I designed a forest fairy lantern with interior decoration. It was really fun for me to use small chipboards in a completely new way. I used the tropical leaves as a shelf (in the real side door) as well as for a small chair.

Have you also found exciting ways to use these inspiring chipboards?

Halloween mystic Centerpiece

 Hello!

 

A lonely hiker had missed the right path, so it had become dark in the forest in the meantime.

 Luckily, he discovered a promising sign in the light of the full moon. 

Would he be brave enough to stop there?

I created a little centerpiece suitable to a Halloween Dinner.  

 

 Ein einsamer Wanderer hatte den richtigen Weg verfehlt und inzwischen war es im Wald dunkel geworden.  Zum Glück entdeckte er im Licht des Vollmondes ein vielversprechendes Zeichen. 

Wäre er mutig genug, hier einzukehren? 

Ich habe ein kleines Herzstück geschaffen, das zu einem Halloween-Dinner passt.

 

 

 I used a broken wooden disc as a stand. I attached the dead tree to it by folding over the root piece. Besides I glued on pieces of moss, wooden branches and toadstool chippies to give the tree support. I dry embossed the old tree again with a 3D folder to give it a natural wood texture. My favourite Halloween chipboard is the moon. It's great engraved. The scribble frame with witch's hat and broom float freely on a chain.

Halloween Special Hexenküche- Spooky Delights

 Hello creative friends!

 

Witches Brew - Drink at your own risk!!

 Do you remember the amazing altered book 'Tavern of the Last Bite to Eat'?

Today we're going to take a look behind the scenes, which means we're in the realm of the kitchen fairy! Here our little witch is whirling and creating new magical recipes for the The ultimate drink! These are scary recipes that will keep you up all night. There is a great interest in being able to make the most of the day 24/7, always wide awake and alert, which is what many people want.

 

I designed an amazing shadow frame in mixed media art 

with a touch of steampunk and a good portion of magic!

I used a part of the Rustic Charm Frame set  on the right outer edge. The central part is the Vintage dresser with mirror, an amazing piece in 3D optics! I split the whole thing up and used the upper part as a mirror, which I then added a shelf to from leftover pieces. The lower cupboard was given a used wooden look with crackle varnish – it looks incredible!

 I also added a shelf at the top. This allowed me to add small accessories such as bottles of magic ingredients, herbs and the like.
