TUSSIE MUSSIE NO 5

Morning all 

Yes it is another Tussie Mussie!  I think I am almost there now.  I could just have one left which I have not posted on my Blog yet.

For this one I again started off with an 8 inch square of paper. 

 I used papers from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and good old Wilko.  It will come as no surprise to hear that the lace and other bits and pieces were from my stash.

Thanks for looking today,

TUSSIE MUSSIE NO 4

Hi everyone,
 
I have another Tussie Mussie to share.  You may remember I had a phase of making these lovely shabby creations having stumbled upon them with this lovely name!  This is my version of one.  

For this one I started off with an 8 inch square of paper.  You may remember I tried two ways, one with a square and one with a circle cut in half.  I liked both ways to be honest.

This time I used papers from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, although they were a gift to me from a dear friend!  The lace and other bits and pieces were from my stash.

Thanks for looking today,

TUSSIE MUSSIE NO 3

Morning all 

And a very happy Monday morning to you.  Where has the weekend gone to!  They seem to fly by so quickly don't they.

This morning I have another Tussie Mussie to show you.  This is my version of one.  I went a bit mad when making these, I was just so inspired and loved making them.  This one was made by starting off with an 8 inch square of paper.  You may remember I tried two ways, one with a square and one with a circle cut in half.  I liked both ways to be honest.

This time I used papers from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, although they were a gift to me from a dear friend!  The lace and other bits and pieces were from my stash.

SHABBY TUSSIE MUSSIE Number 2

Morning all 

And a very happy Wednesday to you.

This morning I have another Tussie Mussie to show you.  Well, my version of one anyway.  I somehow think you are going to get a bit bored with me showing you these soon as I do have a
good few more to show you  yet.  You will gather I loved making these.

This time I used papers from LOTV and the flowers are a mixture from Live and Love Crafts and good old Wilko!  All the different laces were purchased locally I think.

Thanks for looking today,

SOMETHING SHABBILY DIFFERENT - What do you think to my Tussie Mussie?

Morning all

Well, Sunday morning and we have a dull look outside today.  Where is that lovely sunshine we had yesterday?

I have something different to share today.  These are called Tussie Mussies.  I had never heard of these I must confess.  So, what is a Tussie Mussie?  Well I Googled it and found this link which is quite interesting:  Tussie Mussie  one thing I can tell you though is that I am completely hooked on making them!

You know how it is when you are browsing and something just jumps out at you.  Well, when I spotted these on Pinterest I was just so inspired!  I actually have a nice little pile of these made now so will share photos of the others towards the end of the week hopefully.  I went in search of a Tutorial and found a good selection to be had on the Internet.  They are great for using up stash too.   It really was just the basic shape I needed so I had a starting point.  The interesting thing is I saw that there are different ways to create the basic shape.  Some used a square of paper/card as a starting point.  Others used a very large circle cut in half. 

For this one, I started with a 12 inch square of double sided patterned good quality paper (Pion).  I then drew around a large dinner plate to form my circle, cut it out and then cut it in half.  I have tried the other method too, so I will be showing you ones I made that way later.  I think this one has the edge for me as it produces a little wider top.

You will see that my cone does not come to a point.  One Tutorial I watched had what I thought was a really good idea, she did it this way, and started by securing the paper in shape with just a couple of staples.  These do not show as they are covered up and it made it much easier.

What do you think?

Well, here I used Pion papers, lots of things from my stash and a few embellishments from Live and Love Crafts.

Thanks for looking today, and a very Happy Sunday to you all.
