DT project for Gingerloft DT 'Anything but a card'


Challenge time again at Gingerloft and the theme is
'ANYTHING BUT A CARD'

Don't forget we are always sponsored by our very own Tami at the gingerloft store so why not play along to win a fab voucher to spend at the store.

Here is my project


An old chocolate spread jar!

Has a wrap  of xmas style paper around with thread wrapped around too, I have used a nesties dieshape under the digi, can't remember it's name tho'!

This gorgeous snowglobe digi is available at the store! I have coloured with pro markers and decoupaged one layer then added glitter glue!

I have inked the lid slightly and added a die cut circle with snowflake embossing on top

Jar 2 is full of shells so has a marine theme!

Nesties die cut to cut out the image, a water like piece of paper to wrap around and more thread

Mermaid image coloured in pro markers

Inside view

I will be entering these projects into the following challenges


Thanks for stopping by

I have lots of shells my husband and I have picked up over the years. What a great idea to display them. My jar is just plain. Got to get to work on that! Nice projects.

I am giddy over recycled projects and these are wonderful. The snowglobe is an excellent idea, but I love the marina container with the beautiful mermaid! Great ideas for these containers. :)

Thank you so much for sharing at Make It Monday and for joining in our challenge at Craft Us Crazy.
