A Christmas Card for the May Rudolph Days Challenge

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Today is the day we are going for our second jab. I will let you know how we get on. 

The May Rudolph Days Challenge has already started. This challenge runs from the 25th of the month until the last day of the month. I had to go back through my files to find a Christmas card I hadn't posted. I have been very busy and I haven't made any Christmas cards lately. I am hoping to get back on track. Here is what I found. 


The patterned papers were in my stash. All the dies I used are older ones from the John Next Door range. 


This is not the scene that comes with the Round Bauble die set. The scene comes from the Sam's Circles die set. I added the Santa from the Christmas Time die set. 

I am not sure which die set this sentiment comes from. It seemed appropriate with all the deer on the card. 


This is another card for my stash. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting

A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge for May

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you getting on? It is my birthday next week and I have got no idea how to celebrate while we are in lockdown. Just to warn you this is going to be a busy bloggy day I have three design team cards that I need to share.

My first is for the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge. The May Challenge starts today and the theme is always Anything Goes.


I made a birthday pop up card for my lovely cousin. I used the Gingham papers to make my creation. I do have a tutorial on my blog for making this type of card you can see it HERE.

Our challenges are always fun and there are lovely digi papers to win. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog. 


The flowers were cut with the Cornflower die from the John Next Door range. I used the Gerbera Leaves dies from the same range. I made the stems myself. 


On the front panel I put the sentiment. Both the bunting and the sentiment are Crafter's Companion dies. 


My cousin and her family have a rescue dog of whom they are very fond. 


The card folds up nicely for posting. 


I haven't made this style of card for a while. They are very effective and popular. 

I will be back in an hour with my next post. 

In the meantime I will joining in will Barbara Gray's Doodling session. This week has been all Japanese. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Stay safe and well. 

Happy Crafting

Not Just Cards Challenge Blog - May Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I had a lovely day for my birthday on Thursday. We went down to Gun Wharf Quays in Portsmouth. There we saw the film Long Shot and followed that with a very nice meal in Cafe Rouge. Today we will be heading into Southampton to meet our daughter and son-in-law. They are treating us  to see the Pokémon Detective Pikachu movie. I am not quite sure what to think though to be honest the reviews don't seem to be too bad. Anyway the cinema there is very nice and we will have a meal after.

Today being the 11th of the month sees the start of the new challenge at the Not Just Cards Challenge blog. The theme for our challenges is always Anything Goes.


I had in my stash a very pretty paper kit, that came free with a magazine some time ago. I used the papers and card from the kit as well as some lace that I bought at a craft fair. 

Why not come and join in with our challenge. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 



There was a selection of toppers in the kit. I chose this one for my special friend. 


I used the Small Butterfly die set from the John Next Door range to make the butterflies. 


The special friend that I made this card for, had her birthday way back in December. 

Have a great weekend.

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog - May Challenge 63 - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good week. On Monday we saw the Avengers film Endgame. If you like those sort of films you will love it.

Being the first of May Challenge #63 starts at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog. The fabulous A Day for Daisies has sponsored this challenge. On offer to the winner is a $8 ADFD gift voucher which is equivalent to 2 digi stamps.


I used a Crafter's Companion die to add detail to the background. 

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


I used the lovely Flower Line image which is available HERE. The image was printed onto Neenah card stock and coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment was added with the computer. 


I made the butterflies with the Small Butterflies dies set from the John Next Door range from Crafts Too. 


I do feel that this image is very adaptable and I used it to make a matching tag. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
