For some reason and I'm not sure why but I'm feeling a little brave at the moment. Im learning some new skills and it's challenging me big time!. In fact on Thursday I was so frustrated. Nothing was going right and I was seriously frustrated. A few years ago ( um probably 17!) I took a course called the computer driving license or something like that! It took me round the basics of using a computer. Jump forward to now and I'm saving, cropping, snipping, printing, using software programs and basically just getting back into using a computer for crafting rather than for just blogging. Perhaps that's why I really want to learn to use my cutting machines for things I haven't before. In fact my creative motivation is massive at the moment. But my creativity isn't restricted to just my cutting machines. The picture at the top of the page is actually magents. You can actually buy thin magnet sheets now which can be cut with a die cutting machine. To make these I used Stampin up tea cup thinlet die I did do a double roll to ensure it cut and it cut beautifully in my trusty big shot. Then I cut some Papermania country paper which is a linen look paper with same die and stuck them on. Whilst I think they are lovely and I'm more than happy to have them on my fridge the edges aren't secure and I've already pulled one of when removing a magnet. The joy of experimenting. I'm excited to see what else I can do with these magnet sheets! Bath melts I love having a bath I know not the best option for the environment so I save my bath as a once a week treat and stick to showers in the week.
So I want my bath to be as luxurious as it can be I've been making my own bath melts. To be honest they are so easy. You need Shea butter or coconut oil 1 cup Essential oils I use Lavander for coconut or rose or sweet orange for Shea butter. 5 drops of vitamin e oil. Silcone moulds. Simply melt your coconut oil or your Shea butter in a pan on the lowest heat until it melts remove from the heat and then add 5-10 drops of your choosen oil plus your vitamin e oil. Mix and pour into the moulds allow to cool and store them in the fridge until you need one. Simply pop into the bath. A WORD OF WARNING I'm not a skincare specialist I've taken this from different recipies I've found online and adjusted it to my needs. You may wish to do a skin test to ensure you don't react to any of the ingredients. Also these are seriously moisturising so you will need to clean your bath well after!. Well as you can see this is just a small section of what I've been up to!. Check back next week as I attempt to make my own stickers.
