BOYS AND MEN

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where Ellie has chosen the theme of Boys and Men and there is always Anything Goes.

My card is made up of an image and papers from Maja Design.  I have inked and roughened the edges of the papers, fussy cut the number plates and also used a mixture of cog dies which were a purchase from Amazon. The sentiment has been stamped in a dark brown to match the rest of the card.

The prizes are two stamp sets from Sweet Poppy:

                                             

I hope you can join us and that your mojo is back now we are back to normal.  I know mine disappeared a bit over the Christmas and New Year period, but it's beginning to come back.

FAVOURITE OCCASION?

 Morning Everyone,

We're back at As You Like It after the Christmas break and asking to see your favourite type of card to make.

Mine are birthday cards. They're the ones I make the most and when they're for a family member I like to make them according to their interests when I can.

This one was for the grandson.  He's mad about Spiderman and his friends and I found this image on Etsy. I tend not to colour images for little ones as they are quicker to make and they don't know whether it's hand coloured or not.  This is a larger than normal card, A5 size, and all I had to do was print out the image and find papers to match, which are from a Doodlebug pad.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you can join us for the first challenge of the year.  Thank you for visiting and have a good day.

WINTER ANIMALS

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge is starting over at Allsorts this morning and Helen has chosen the theme of Winter Animals to run alongside Anything Goes. 

For my card I have used my Impression Obsession reindeer family die cut in kraft yardstick.  I have cut a rectangle from a piece of white card to make a frame and then made the winter scene with a woodland die which  I think is an unbranded one from Amazon.  This was cut three times and glued together, the top layer being from grey and white paper.  I found a suitable piece of snowy   paper  in my snippets box for the background and then made the snow by tearing two lots of white card.  The sentiment is heat embossed in silver and from LOTV.

The prize is a Visible Image stamp set with it's matching dies.

I would like to enter:

Sparkles Christmas - Animal and tree

Critter Crazy - Anything goes with a featured critter

Sinon Says Stamp Weds - Add a Sentiment

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely weekend.

PERSIAN MOTIFS

 Good Morning Everyone,

Back again with another card.  I've decided this year to try and use some or most of my unused stuff.  I have it in a basket and it's getting a bit overloaded at the moment as I was lucky to get some Christmas crafty presents.

These stamps weren't for Christmas.  They were one of the first Altenew sets I bought quite a few years ago and hate to admit I've never used them.  I stamped the outlines of the motifs with Versamark and gold embossing powder onto Bristol Smooth paper and then coloured them with my Zig markers, just two colours Light Green and Cyclamen Pink.  The sentiment is also heat embossed in gold and from a Penny Black set called Super Day.

I've also used Stampin Up gold sparkly dots, MFT mini scalloped edger and gold and pink papers for the mats.

I would like to enter this into:

We're taking our Christmas tree etc. down today so that will be good when it's done.  Have a good one and see you soon.

BIG BDAY WISHES TAKE 2

Hello Everyone,

I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and thank you all for your visits and support over the past year.  Let us hope this year will be a good one for us all.

Hubby has gone to watch football today so I decided to have another play with my MFT Big Birthday die and this time used snippets in different colours for the die.  This meant cutting the whole thing out a few times, but it has left me with more letters for another card.  I stamped the little birds, cake and animals from two different MFT sets and coloured them with copics, fussy cut them out and added them to the card.  Two die cut balloons also added to finish it off.

I would like to enter this into:

Thank you for your visit, have a lovely peaceful day and I will be back soon.

BIG BOUQUET

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you've all had a good Christmas.  We had one hectic day with everyone for lunch and then very quiet afterwards, but I think we needed that to recover.

 It's taken me a few days to feel like going in the craft room again, but decided to finish this little lady which I started to colour before Christmas.  This is her first inking and she is Tiny Townie with a Big Bouquet from Stamping Bella.  I have coloured with copics and found some paper from a First Edition pad to match her dress and one of the flowers.  The paper does have embossed flowers on it, but it's not very clear on the photo.  I have used the Spellbinders arch to cut the image out and matted with gold mirri card.  I have also used this to cut the sentiment which is part of a prize from Simon Says Stamp.

I would like to enter:

Have a good day, thank you for visiting and I will see you soon.

CREATE A SCENE

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge today at Allsorts where the theme, alongside Anything Goes, is Create a Scene as chosen by Lynn. 

For my card I have used a Creative Expressions die set called Christmas Village.  I die cut a circle in the middle of my stitched square and then added a piece of green snowy looking paper to the back of the circle.  I tore a piece of white card for the snow, added the sentiment which is from a Spellbinders set and arranged all the little elements to create a scene. A few little pearls were added for embellishment.

There are two prizes of Lavinia, one a collection of mini/small stamps with bottle sticker for scene making and three stamps as second prize.

I hope you can join us in the challenge.  I know it's a busy time for everyone at the moment, but the challenge closes on 31st December so there will be time after the big day to have a play.  I know I always look forward to the week after Christmas as it is relatively quiet and I can have a play in the craft room.  I I try to make my DT cards in advance and I'm so pleased I have this past week as I haven't had chance to do anything in there lately.

This will be my last post before Christmas so I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and thank you for visiting and all your lovely comments throughout the year.
