MORE THAN ONE FOLD

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting at Allsorts and this week Liz has chosen the theme "More than One Fold" to run alongside Anything Goes. 

I bought this Studiolight die when it was on sale and decided to make a Christmas card for one of the grandchildren.  The image is from Buddly Crafts.  I have coloured him with copics, used some stripes papers from my stash and made the card up with red for the mats.  The sentiment also comes with the stamp set.

There are two prizes, a bundle of craft essentials from Stix2 plus an A5 stamp set

I hope you can join us and you can see the inspiration from the rest of the DT here.

See you soon.

FAVOURITE FABRIC EMBELLISHMENT

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting today over at As You Like It  and we are asking for your favourite fabric embellishment on your projects.

Mine is ribbon. It is ideal for hiding a joining line on two patterned papers and doen't have any bulk for posting.  There's not a lot of ribbon on show on my card, but it is there.  I have used an image from an old LOTV art pad called Floral Dance and framed it with dies from Clearly Besotted.  The backing papers are from my stash and I have used a marker for the edges of the mat as I didn't have to right colour card.

I am leaving this without a sentiment as I haven't decided what it's for yet.

ANYTHING AUTUMN

 Good Morning All,

We have the start of a new challenge at Allsorts where the theme is Anything Autumn and there is also Anything Goes too.

For my DT card I have used some Autumn leaves and acorn dies from Simon Says stamp and have inked them up in various Distress Oxides and Altenew mini ink cubes.  I had a rummage and found a couple of old papers from LOTV which suited the theme and added the die cuts to an ivory square which I had lightly inked with Antique Linen distress ink.  A Stampin Up corrugated embossing folder was used for the beige panel and I die cut the sentiment, which is from Gummiapan,  from bronze pearlescent card.

There are 2 prizes of Penny Black stamps, stencil and stickers from Buddly Crafts 

        

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.

Thank you for your visit.

FAVOURITE SPORT/ACTIVITY

Good Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we're asking you to share projects containing your favourite sport/activity.

I have been playing tennis for over 20 years.  I play twice a week and have recently started pickleball as well.  I made this card for a tennis friend who is recovering from an operation.  As I didn't have anything connected to tennis I bought some mages from Etsy here, chose one most suited to my friend, and added a sentiment on the pc.  After a search through my snippets boxes I found two pieces that went reasonably well together and added ribbon to the joining.  Kraft card has been used for the mats and a few pearls added.

I hope you can join us.  Thank you for visiting and I will be back on Saturday.

SYMPATHY/THINKING OF YOU/GET WELL

Good Morning,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the theme is Thinking of You/Sympathy/Get Well and there's always Anything Goes too.

For my DT card I have used Hero Arts Leafy Vines stamp.  I've had this for years and never used it so thought it was a good opportunity.  It was heat embossed in white onto a piece of DP although it came out a bit more creamy than white.  I've added a few pearls and the sentiment has been stamped in brow and is from a Simon Says Stamp set.  Very simple, but I didn't think it need anything else for this type of card.

Highlight Crafts three die sets plus reflections and paper are the prizes

FAVOURITE HALLOWEEN COLOURS

 Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking to see projects containing your favourite Halloween colours.

I don't make Halloween cards, but purple is my favourite colour so I've put that alongside orange as these are two of the colours I associate with Halloween.  

I have used a stencil and die set from Pink Fresh Studio called Floral Field.  With this set you stencil first and then die cut.  When I first did it I thought the stencil wasn't right with some of the lines being a bit wonky, but when you use the die it cuts everything to how it should be.  I've not done it that way before.

I adhered the die onto a Memory Box pinpoint leafy cover plate and used a sentiment from Craftwork cards.

I hope you can join us.  I will be back on Saturday.  Have a good day.

WOODLAND CRITTERS

Hello Everyone,

I recently won the CAS Christmas Card challenge and Loll kindly invited me to be Guest Designer for the September challenge where the theme is Woodland Critters. 

I decided to use my Simon Says Stamp deer die and placed him in a window with a snippet of pink snowflake dsp behind.  The window die is from CraftAddiction UK.  I have coloured him with copics and used a snippet of blue for his scarf and also the sentiment which is from Spellbinders.
