Secret Box - Hobby House Inspiration

Hi Everyone!

Well I have never had such a busy week on my blog!!  I hope you don't get bored of me!  I hope you are well! Its getting very warm here, they say 30 degrees in London on Thursday, won't be very pleasant on the trains!! 

Anyway, I have another project to share using the gorgeous products from the Hobby House.  There are quite a few photos as it was a little tricky take.  Its called a Secret Box:

Front

Inside

Side

Top

Back

The idea originally came from Norma at From My Craft Room. She has loads of fabulous tutorials on her blog, its worth checking them out! Thank you Norma for this one.  

Once the box was made up I covered it with papers from the gorgeous Nordic Christmas 6 x 6 pad from the Hobby House.  I love the Wee Stamps toppers as well, they are so sweet. Other products from the Hobby House are:

First Edition Nordic Christmas 6 x 6 Pad

Ribbon from the Hobby House Nordic Christmas Kit

Hobby House Wee Stamps Christmas Berry Toppers

HH Self Adhesive Rhinestones - Jubilee Red

Mulberry Roses

It was great just to relax and decorate this and made a change from the other projects I have been doing recently.  Its quite a sturdy box when its completed.  You can put all sorts of treats or gifts into the drawers.  

Pop on over to the main inspiration blog for more gorgeous projects!

Well that's it from me today.  I will be back tomorrow (yes I know, again!!) with my card for the new challenge at MAWTT.

TTFN!

Another Ribbon Wreath - Hobby House Inspiration!

Good Morning Everyone

I hope you all had a great weekend, they go so quickly :-(  

Well I am here today to share some more inspiration using products from the Hobby House.   Its still Christmas over on the inspiration blog so I am sharing another ribbon wreath:

I started this one the same as the previous wreath by wrapping a polystyrene half ring with red ribbon.  Then instead of looping pieces of ribbon and pinning them in place, I wrapped the ribbon around the ring and tied.  I then trimmed the ends to make them look neat and worked all the way around.  I wasn't sure about it at first but actually now I quite like the look of this one!  

I am thinking I might make some of these for Christmas gifts, they are so easy to do just sitting in the of the TV in the evening.  Especially with this one as there is no glueing or measuring!

The ribbon is from the Hobby House and is called The Christmas Ribbon Collection.

I hope you like it.  Please pop on over to the Inspiration Blog for more wonderful projects!

OK, I will see you later in the week, for now have a great day!

Love and Hugs

Christmas in July at the Hobby House

Happy 1 July everyone!!  We are show casing Christmas over at the Hobby House this month and here is my project to kick the month off. 

If you saw the recent show on Create and Craft you will have seen this project which showcases the Christmas Ribbon Selection.  I did a similar one using spring colours but this is great for Christmas and you can get this out year after year.  I have done a tutorial which I will post in a few days.

The only other thing I used was a polystyrene ring and some pins.

Please pop on over to the main inspiration blog and also check out all the Christmas products in the store here.

Have a great day everyone, I have an appointment with the dentist at lunchtime so I hope he can sort out my horrible toothache which I have had since Saturday!!

Love and Hugs
