Wooden curio house box shelf

Hello, today it's my turn over on The Craft Barn Blog. This week we have been altering the lovely wooden curio houses. There's two different kinds. I decided to make one for my mum to use as a little shelving unit to display her keepsakes and little gifts and went for a pastel shabby chic look. So do come and check out the full step by step details and see what else is in store for you at The Craft Barn Blog.
I'll share some photographs of this project, I enjoyed making this and it really is simple to achieve. Just takes time. If you struggle like I used to, with the shabby chic look, I'll let you know that I figured out by starting with the right looking vintage papers made it much easier. X
I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend and enjoy some crafty stash shopping. The Craft Barn are offering Free shipping and have lots of new goodies. X

 

Happy crafting

Tando in Cardmaking

Hi guys, it's my turn over on The Craft Barn blog. This week the design team and guests are sharing how we've used some Tando Creative minis in card making. 

Be great to see you there. The blog is now back on blogger so it's really easy to leave comments. Let us know what you think.

Heads up....The Craft Barn are offering Free Postage on orders. More pennies to spend on craft stash I say, there's plenty to buy for a couple of quid. I personally like the Perfect Prints Paper pads for £1.99 - bargain.

Onto what I've made this week. I'm using the lovely Tando mini Butterflies pack (covered with paper, shock, (no paint)) and the gorgeous Prima Wishful Thinking papers. My sentiment is from Kaisercraft Telegraph Road stamp set. And a Woodware huge scallop punch

Last I just had to add some bling and buttons. I'd be lost without them. Buttons I can spend an hour just rifling through them. Buttons j'adore x

There are step by step instructions over on the blog. Click Here to be transported to lots of crafty inspiration.

I'm entering this into the following challenge.
