Aurora Borealis Card Part 2 - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 23

Hey everyone and welcome to the last tutorial post of #blogmas!

If you saw last posts - here - you will have seen me show you how you can create an aurora borealis scene with inks! Now in this post I will show you how you can put it together in a card/

I created a very simple card to show how effective the aurora borealis sky is! You will easily be able to re-create this card with limited supplies.

Aurora Borealis Card Part 1 - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 22

Hey everyone. We are down to the last few #blogmas posts!

I wanted to do a two part card tutorial for the next couple of posts. This first part I will show you how to easily create an aurora borealis scene! You only need a few colour inks and a couple of sponges to get the amazing look!

You could use this technique to create cards for any occasion but I think it's particularly fun to use for a Christmas card!

DIY Decorative Reef - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 21

It's so easy to do and you only need a few materials to make it.

2 in 1 Christmas Card & Gift Card Holder - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 20

Hey everyone! I can't believe we are already down to last 5 post for #blogmas! It's gone so quick!

I wanted to do another christmas card for you today but with an added extra; a gift card holder!

This card is perfect for so many reason, if you are in a rush, have limited supplies or wanted to completely surprise someone! It's so easy to make and your play around with the position of your gift card! You don't have to worry about it falling out when they open it and it hides what kind of gift card it is. I don't usually like to give gift cards with the shop name on the card as it gives it away instantly!

Box For Truffles! - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 19

Hey everyone! Hopefully you will have seen my homemade truffle post - if you missed it you can find here. 

I said I would be showing you how to make a box for the truffles the next day but I got the posts mixed up and to be honest I couldn't wait to show the biscuits!

I made a small sliding box that will fit two truffles - just the right amount - and I also added a window as I did with the box for the biscuits!

This box is super easy to make and hopefully it will give you another fun idea on how you can box up your presents for your loved ones.

Hey! Can you believe we are coming near to the end of #blogmas?!

If you missed yesterdays post I showed you how to make some delicious biscuits. Check it out here. I wanted to show you how you can make a sweet little box for your biscuits.

You and your children or grandchildren can give these out as presents. They are so easy to make and you can add some many embellishments or leave it nice and simple.

Christmas Biscuits - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 17

Hey everyone and welcome to another baking post here on Sukilu Crafts!

Yesterday I did a post on how you can make some yummy truffles - which me and my family thoroughly enjoyed. I mentioned today's post would be a box to put the truffles in but as it's the weekend I couldn't wait to show you something else! Me and Danielle made these biscuit with Danielle's daughter Brooke. It was such a fun afternoon and Brooke really enjoyed making, and eating, these biscuits.

If you haven't got any plans for the weekend I would highly recommend you grab your children or grandchildren or even nieces/nephews and have some fun in the kitchen. This biscuits are a vanilla flavour decorated with some simple icing!

They are very easy to make and you add your own elements to make them even tastier. If you want to find out how you can make them yourself then just keep reading.

Chocolate & Strawberry Truffles - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 16

Hey everyone! It's day 16 of #blogmas and we've got a couple of baking posts lined up for you!

We wanted to make some small treats for you and your family. The first ones are chocolate and strawberry truffles which are super easy to make and they taste delicisous! I would definitely say these are more suited towards adults just because they are quite rich in flavour and a bit messy! But I'm sure children would love them just as much.

You can eat these and decorate them in so many different ways. Leave them just as a truffle you will have created a soft treat or cover them in chocolate and freeze for a chocolate surprise. Our other baking post is more for children so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it!

Santa Gift Card Holder - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 15

Hey everyone. Can you believe it's day 15 of #blogmas! 

I recently saw a tutorial on YouTube that really caught my attention and I really wanted to re-create it. I have been subscribed to Susanne over at SuNN Stampin for quite some time and I love the videos she does. She's so pleasant to watch and does easy to follow fun tutorials which I would highly reccomend for craft lovers! Check out her channel here and watch the video that inspired this post here.

It's a very cute and easy to make gift card holder with a belly band that looks like Santa's belt!

Gift Box For Men - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 14

Hey and welcome to day 14 of #blogmas! It feels like it was only yesterday I started this. What has been your favourite so far?

Today I wanted to show you a fun way of boxing up a perfume or any tall items to give to your friends or family for christmas.

I made a box like this a while ago for wine glasses my sister makes but I wanted to show you a more masculine version. This box is super easy to make and you could easily adjust the size to fit your gift!

Christmas Tree Card - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 13

Welcome to day 13 of #blogmas! Can you believe we are officially in December now?! I am so excited for Christmas this year.

I wanted to do a tutorial today showing you how you can make a simple card using minimal stamps.

I love this tree stamp, I believe I got it free in a magazine! This card is super easy to make and there so much room for experimenting. You could change up the colours to get an entirely different look. I think it would be fun to make a whole bunch of these all in different colours.
