Dino Christmas!

I believe it is safe for me to share this now.
~~~~~~~

I'm writing this in November, but I won't be sharing this till about two days after Christmas day... Just playing! save.

Today is the 13th of November and I decided to make my dino nutty friend. Her Christmas card and sort out what I'm going to send.

This is the little card I made.


Isn't he super cute!

About a year ago I made some plain note cards and card holder.. (I guess that is what it is called right?)



I made the above after having the idea of making these up for friends. This is the only one I made and I fell in love with it.. I planned to make more but never got round to it.
 Maybe next year I will only time will tell!

The last thing I sent was this dino pattern and yarn..
I got the kit free from 'Lets Knit magazine' a while ago.
I knew I would never use the pattern..


Please let me know what you think?

Autumn loaded envelope swap

In the middle of October my dino nutty friend and I decided to do a Autumn theme loaded envelope swap.

Either one of us has done one before.
 I've been watching video on YouTube how to make/do the loaded envelope.

Honestly more I look at how to make them, I realise there isn't any rules. Okay mainly the loaded envelope is made from gift/treat bags. But really you can make them from gift bags to envelopes you make it how you want it! Anyway it's what I have seen online..

So here is my Autumn loaded envelope.
(My first one)



Here's how the front looks. 


Here is some of the goodies I have sent.
The leaves came of TheWorks and the pinecone came from Wilkos . The gold yarn I got a few years ago in my local craft shop and the eyelash yarn I got free from a magazine. The ombre 
effect twine is from Lawn Fawn, I bought it from Seven Hill crafts 


I used my new xcut die the wreath to get this autumn feeling wreath.


The card above is full of goodies. I used my new washi tape from bon bon kawaii. I made the autumn/Halloween embellishment after being inspired by Yenny which you can find her on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook storytaleshop .





I love these pumpkins, I got from Poundland. 
I just knew I had to send one of these.


In the picture above is some random die cuts, washi tapes and some pinwheels I have made. The envelope with the rosette on are diecut pieces to make rosettes or banners.


Last but not lease leaf stickers and autumn/woodland animals washi tapes are all from Bon Bons Kawaii .

If you would like to see better pictures of the washi tapes and stickers above please hop over to my Instagram @busybeecraftz link is at the top of the page.

Hopefully the next post will be the one my friend sends..
