Poinsettia Christmas Crackers!

Handmade Christmas crackers have been on my crafting bucket list for YEARS but you know how it is, busy, busy... I'm sure there are plenty of templates online for the complete DIY approach and yes, I could create my own template, BUT if you don't happen to have hours to spare cutting and scoring, then you may prefer the idea of embellishing a ready-made cracker kit? You could even add a touch of luxury to plain, store-bought crackers! I think one...

Boo-tiful Halloween Decorations!

When designing our Twist & Reveal Wild Flower and Pretty Poinsettia die sets, I had no idea that they would make such spook-tacular Halloween flowers! The centre of the flowers is large enough to reveal a giant-sized googly eye which rattles around as the flower moves! The petals close in around it too, which makes for a fun surprise when the flower is opened! To make these spooky flowers, you'll need either our Twist & Reveal Wild Flower or Pretty Poinsettia...

Hair-raising Spooky Bride, Spinning Wreath and 3D Tree!

If you're looking for something a bit different to make this Halloween, then we've got you covered! This spooky Bride of Frankenstein card is quick to make, as it uses our Folksy Charm Dolls Die Set to cut many of the pieces. (This die set is currently on sale at 50% off!)

Trisha’s Fab Father’s Day Card!

Hi fellow crafters, I hope you are well! I wanted to share with you all how to make this Father’s Day card using the Nature’s Texture stamps and stencils.  For this card I used the Nature's Textures Hexagon Layering Stamp & Stencil set.  I made this card using a 5”x7” Kraft card blank. Taking a white piece of card, I cut it slightly shorter than 5”x7” so I could mount it onto the Kraft card once I had stamped my design.  There are...

Egg-citing Easter decorations!

My family love Easter. It's not just because there will be an abundance of chocolate (although that definitely helps!) but it's the tradition we have of getting together on Easter Sunday and arranging an egg hunt for the children in the Spring sunshine. I've created a range of fun Easter projects for you to try yourself...I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! Hanging Egg Decorations My Aunty has a beautiful set of hand painted eggs which I admire...

Stunning Mother’s Day Hanging Wreaths!

Hanging hoops and wreaths are a hot trend for home decor! They look SO stylish but even if you shop around, they can be a little pricey. The good news is that I'm going to show you how to make your own DIY hanging wreaths, paper craft style! Apart from the two wooden embroidery hoops, you're likely to have a lot of suitable inks and card etc in your craft stash already. I made both of these wreaths in one evening...

Trisha’s Elegant Nature’s Textures Postcard!

Hello fellow crafters,  I love the new Nature's Textures range, especially the beautiful Embellishment Pack! And the good news is, you can still buy the collection for an amazing price over at The Craft Store! As part of the Angela Poole Design Team, I made the card below and thought I would share some steps with you today of how to create it yourself.  Firstly, I started by cutting out the two birds on the small cream card found amongst the...

Happy Halloween! ONE die set, THREE different looks!

Halloween is such fun and my children are already super-excited about it! We do a bit of Halloween crafting every year and this year, I suggested making spooky Mummy cards using our Folksy Charm Dolls die set. I've already made Mrs Claus cards and Easter bunny cards using the die set. It seems to have become my go-to die set for most occasions! The kids' cards were a triumph and after tackling their glue mess (seriously, it was epic...

Sparkling Festive Frames cards!

Our Slot & Spin Festive Frames die set is one of my all-time favourite die sets! Its packed full of dies and mix 'n' match possibilities. When I prepared demos for our recent shows on The Craft Store, I couldn't believe that I hadn't previously FOLDED the snowflakes and baubles to make 3D Christmas shapes?! Now I love this die set even more because not only can you make beautiful spinning Christmas cards, but folding the pieces allows you to...
