Strawberry Creme Fraiche & Frozen Yogurt Bars

 


I got a new little chocolate bar mould recently from Lakeland (no connection, just a happy customer) and thought I'd make some frozen yogurt bars. Always a lover of strawberries so I have combined this with a quick and easy dessert made of strawberries, creme fraiche, mascarpone and icing (powdered) sugar.

You can see how to make it in my video here - https://youtu.be/YR0AnJajGOI





Enjoy!

Pretty Pentagons Mortice Box, Tonic Studios

Hello :) These beautiful boxes and hanging shaker have been made with the Pretty Pentagons Mortice Box die set from Tonic Studios 

You can see how I made  different boxes and a little shaker ornament with the set in my video here


I hope you enjoy watching :)

I have made single layer boxes but I show you how to adapt to make stackable layers too.

Tonic Kit 69 Whimsical Wonderland


 Kit 69 from Tonic is called Whimsical Wonderland. There are lots of dies and stamps which can be used to build little scenes with gingerbread people.

You can see how I used it to create 3 different things in my video here



For my first creation I also used the Little Memories Frames die set as I know many of you already have it. I have also used some white card from my stash.






My YouTube Channels

 


Hi :) I thought it was time to say hello again and update you on what I'm currently doing in my own little crafty world.

First of all, thank you so much for visiting my blog today and every other day! Feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to keep in touch. I started off blogging almost 14 years ago and at that time I interacted much more with my followers and other bloggers. However, over the years I have become busier on Facebook, Pinterest etc and mostly on my YouTube channel "Crafting with Ruth Hamilton". I've been keeping an eye on the amount of daily visitors to my blog and am delighted to see this growing steadily. Thank you so much!!

I will continue to post here but you can also see video of most of my makes on my crafting channel and I'd love you to join me there too. I'd also welcome suggestions for future videos, especially non brand specific tutorials etc. I have a long list which I intend working slowly through but feel free to tell me some of the craft videos which you would like to see. :)

PS I also have a much smaller (but hopefully interesting!) foodie type craft channel which you can see here - Creative in the Kitchen with Ruth Hamilton and you'd be more than welcome over there too!

Thanks so much for your time! :)
