A Joyful Keyring

Hi everyone! It's a beautiful bright day here today but really cold, so it looks like i will be staying in the warm and crafting! Here's something different, i've made a keyring!

I stamped my Magnolia 'A Joyful Tilda' onto shrink plastic, coloured with my TH distress markers, heated it up with my heat gun but not before i punched a hole in at the top. I then attached the shrunken image to a keyring fob and also added some silver bells and santa & sleigh charms.

Thank You Gift Box & Handmade Cards

Good morning to you all! I would like to share a creation i made using an empty teabag box!

I made this for one of my neighbours who was kind enough to loan me a wheelchair when i injured my right knee after the NHS were not helpful! 

Update on my knee! I was informed that i had torn the cartilage on the right side of my knee and now i'm receiving physiotherapy to try to straighten it as it was bent for 3 months. I still can't straighten it fully yet!

Oops! Thank you Donna, i forgot to say i put a selection of handmade cards in the box!

Warning! Picture Heavy Post!

 I started with my empty teabag box.

 I then adhered some Papermania paper to the box and added some robin diecuts and 

a reindeer circle diecut.

 I then added some spotty Washi Tape along the edges.

 Added some check bows and robin to the front of the lid.

 Finished it off with a ribbon handle and a big bow, ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

And this is the side view!
