It’s Beatrix Potter, this time and Crafter’s Companion have teamed up with Hunkydory to bring us all 2 fab kits:

An everyday kit and a Winter Kit

I was lucky to to have the winter kit to work with and these are a few of the samples I have created with it.

Firstly there are some fab new 3d Trees:

This one I have made up as it comes and then added some embellishments.

This next one I have made into a topper on an A4 card

I have used one of the backing cards and added a few of the additional items from the kit.

I then printed some papers and a note paper from the Winter Tale CD and decorated the inside of the card

This next card I have made into a side stepper

I again used one of the A4 card bases and added several pieces from the kit as well as some gems and a spellbinders fancy frame for the sentiment.

Finally I am going to share with you one of the Frame cards:

These are so easy to make but also very effective too.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to tune into the show at 9pm.

Happy Crafting
