HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH FLO....

Happy New Year to all of you, from all of us here at Crafty Individuals.  Thanks for your love, kind comments, and good wishes throughout 2016, it means a lot!  Let's hope 2017 is a creatively crafty one too. Tonight I have a few makes by lovely Flo to show you, the first is a faux encaustic tile, on a wooden coaster, and the following 2 are made with air drying clay, and then 2 very pretty cards made with CI mini images....

Here they are..

(features CI-294)

(features CI-419)

Cards, with images from our People & Places book...

 
To finish I have a couple of items I don't think I've shown you before on the blog.  We recently added some gorgeous glossy card in an A5 size to our website, and it is delightful to stamp and colour on..

Another item we added is this gorgeous set of wooden 'Love' frames..

..and this is how I decorated them (with a Christmassy look).
Of course you could decorate them for any occasion, or insert photos perhaps...

Bye for now,
Back soon,

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and lots of love, hugs, and warm wishes for 2017.  Monty Moodle has donned his best festive outfit, and was even persuaded to wear a little santa hat as well!!

Thanks Monty Moodle xx

I am now going to add quite a few Coco creations below, and as time is moving on and it will soon be Christmas Day I won't add links to products on these tonight, but of course stamps are available as always from www.craftyindividuals.co.uk.....

Followed by pocket letters, a sparkly canvas, a decorated book, and some journal pages...

ORNAMENTALLY FESTIVE....

Many thanks for all the great comments on my last post and about Sylvie's lovely card designs.  Tonight I am going to feature four gorgeous little festively ornamental makes by Joanna - soooo very sweet!  Here they are....

Two adorable 'looking through the window' makes...

.... featuring CI-399 and CI-463.

I adore this pretty little thing, so glittery and wintery ....

... looking delicious adorned with CI-327.

And finally I have a dinky little double sided festive shape, designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand....

.... nice bit of crackle and stamped bits from CI-257, and CI-327.

They would all look amazing adorning my Christmas tree this year, that is for sure!  Thanks Joanna, you are a star!

Back soon,

CHANGING COLOUR SCHEMES...

A very brief post from me tonight.  Just want to show you a set of 4 cards made by Sylvie - the same main stamp CI-460, in different colourways, with a stencilled background (not sure who's stencil I'm afraid, but Sylvie will know of course). The snowflakes used are from CI-465 and the sentiment from CI-438.  I love the effects achieved!...

You will find more by Sylvie on her blog 'Here'.

Back soon,
