Basque Set Card Toppers

Hi
I had such a busy weekend I didn't get time for much crafting or blog hopping but did manage to make these toppers from the box of die cuts. I will get around to making them into cards sometime hopefully! Sorry if the photo isn't very clear but the weather here is terrible, one minute its sunny the next its pouring down & then sunny again, don't know which jacket to wear to work!!!

I have been taking photos of the crafty cubbyhole so will try and get them posted so you can have a good old nosey around.



I've used the following items from my stash:-

Nova Crafts Basque & Pants Die
Quickutz Cookie Cutter - Handbag
Quickutz Cookie Cutter - Shoes
Quickutz Cookie Cutter - Vase
Stick On Gems
Bows

Thanks for Looking

"Chocolates" Birthday Card

Evening Fellow Bloggers

Hope the weather is better where you are? We have had rain, mist & hail today and its not very warm either, never mind these are the joys of spring!

My blog is only a few days old and already I have 3 followers so thank you to the lovely crafters who have joined and hopefully I won't bore you too much!

Tonight I have made a "Chocolates" birthday card using die cuts & papers from my stash.
I have so much die cuts I feel I will never have enough time or ideas for using them all. They aren't as popular as they were in card making but hey looking at my blog may make them popular again (I can but dream)!!!



The following items were used from my stash:-

Patterned & Plain Papers
Patterned Ribbon
Chocolate Coloured Brads
Sizzlits Chocolate Dies
Quickutz Alphabet Dies
White Gel Pen
White Glittery Chalk

WELCOME

Hello and welcome to The Crafty Cubbyhole under the Stairs. I've started this blog to encourage me to start using all the crafty items I have bought over the years and have ran out of space to store!!! I never seem to have the time to craft as I'm always trying to make space for the new items I've bought which I didn't need to be honest, its even got to the stage that I've bought items I already have but forgot I had them, I'm sure many of you can relate to having done this! So my PLEDGE from today is to start using up my crafty stash and not to buy anymore if possible. I'll post photos of finished projects on here to try and help me stick to my pledge. Please feel free to leave me comments of encouragement if you have overcome this addiction!
