Crafty Catz Challenge blog - Embossing Wet or Dry

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week and are ready for the weekend. My week hasn't been too busy so I have been able to make progress with the wedding makes. I did enjoy the Felting Workshop and I go the chance to make another picture. Mine aren't as good as my friend's but they are fun to make.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog and the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Wet or Dry Embossing. I went for dry embossing. The fabulous sponsor this time is Star Stampz.

I used two different Rose Embossing folders from Creative Expressions for the background. 

There are many wonderful images in the store if you click on the logo you will be taken there.

This image is called Balloons and Ice Cream and is available HERE.  I printed onto Neenah card stock and I coloured the image with my Promarkers. I used one of the shapes on my ScanNcut to cut out the image. 

The balloons were cut with a Tattered Lace die. 

This is another Tattered Lace die. 

Have great weekend.

Robin Christmas card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I am working hard at the wedding makes.  Tomorrow I will be helping at another Felting workshop. I hope I get to make another picture.

I was really lucky and I won an Amy Designs die from the Feeling of Christmas range called Ice Crystal Circle in a Christmas Facebook group. I just had to make a card with the die.

The backing paper I have had in my stash for a long time. I cut the die and then realised I could use the cut out from the paper. That way less was wasted. 

I found a robin decoupage in my stash. He look cute sat in the middle of the die cut. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Always Fun Challenges - Fun at the Beach

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend. Ours always seem to be busy. We are now making the table bits and pieces for the wedding in Malta. We haven't got long to get this sorted. I am so glad my husband helps me with things like this.

Being Monday the new challenge starts at Always Fun Challenges this time the theme is At the Beach. I am sharing my Dad's birthday card.

I made the frame for the card with the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. I used Distress inks with Brushes to create the background. 

I used the Sweet Dixie Beach Huts clear stamp set. To stamp the beach huts and other elements. I did all the colouring with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens]

I added bunting and a Happy Birthday. 

I also added the word Dad.

Beecy's Place new images In the Woods

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? We are now making more bits for the family wedding in Malta. I was only asked on Thursday. So there isn't long and there are no firm decisions about what they want. I have made some samples I just need them to choose. Enough about me.

You might have seen this post before and some kind people left comments. I got mixed up with the releases so I had to put this post back to drafts.

As you probably know I am the first Guest Designer at Beccy's Place and I have had the chance to work with some wonderful new images.

Being digital images they are very easy to flip. I decided to make another step panel card to show off the happy Deer. I made the paper using surgical spirit and ink on very shiny paper. 

Beccy has lots of great images in her store. If you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This set is called In the Woods and is available HERE. 

This sentiment just seemed to suit so well. 

They do look very happy don't they? 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. My husband will be watching the England game and I will probably make their wedding card.

Winter Wonderland Challenge blog - Square cards only

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

This is my second post of the day. The new challenge starts today on the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog. The theme this time is Square Cards  and the sponsor is Twinkle Lane Designs.

There are lots of lovely images and papers in the store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I used the Snow Family and the Unique Snowflakes Festive Paper Set. I printed onto Neenah card stock and I  coloured them with Promarkers. Then I cut them out with the ScanNcut. I also cut a black mat for them. It was really easy to do. 

The sentiment comes with the Snow Family. 

I didn't use any dies to make this card. That's not like me. It does make a nice change.

How was your weekend. We were busy as usual. Invigilating is all finished now. So I have some time to catch up on things.

Today sees the start of Challenge 63 at Always Fun Challenges this time the theme is to follow  the sketch.

I have had a pad of the beautiful Christmas paper for a while.

This is the Penguin Elf Digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps and it is available HERE. I made him a background in Publisher. Then I printed onto Neenha card stock and coloured with my Promarkers. 

This seems to be my go to Christmas sentiment at the moment it fits into very small spaces. 

I cut snowflakes in glitter card to replace the hearts in the sketch.

Beccy's Place - New Images Tangled Garden

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going. It has been very hot down here. I have been invigilating and it get very hot in the hall where the exams are done. I do feel sorry for them. Still only another week and they will all be over.

This post is a bit late I got mixed up over release dates of images. I published a post about the set of images that will be in the spot light later on so I had to save that back to drafts.  This time is the turn of the Tangled Garden set of images new from Beccy's Place. I made two cards with these images.

To make the background I used the corner dies from the John Next Door Sandwich box die set. I added some ribbon too. 

I printed one of the single blooms several times some of them I flipped. They were coloured with Promakers and cut out with the ScanNcut. 

This sentiment comes with the set. 

There are many wonderful images in the store. Click on the logo to be taken there. 

This is the Tangled Garden set of images. It is available HERE. 

I created the background with Publisher. I also created a little window box below the image. 

As the images are PNG's I was able to place the image onto the background. Then I coloured the flowers  with Promarkers. 

Here are the two cards together. 

Happy Crafting
