Beccy's Place - New Release - Live Large

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you getting on? I must admit that I am struggling to craft. I really must set  myself some goals. I am enjoying the weekday Doodling sessions that Barbara Gray is hosting every morning on Facebook. The videos are later loaded on to YouTube so no one has to miss out.

Today I am featured on the Beccy's Place blog.

Back at the beginning of the year Beccy Muir who own Beccy's Place sent me some new images to work with, I received the very cute Live Large set.  Here is what I made.

I do love an easel card. You do have to be careful who you send them to though. 

This is the set of Live Large images they are available HERE.  Aren't they just so cute. 

With digital images it is so easy to make groups with them. I created the background on the computer too. The bunting and butterflies are die-cuts. The Hippos were coloured with my Promarkers. 

I used a stitched Flag die to make the stopper for the easel. It made a good place for the sentiment as well. 

This was the second card I made. The images were coloured with Promakers. All the flowers were made with punches. I really don't use these enough. 

This is just a small card. I used a new die set from Sizzix, The Hippo was coloured with Promarkers and he was nice and easy to cut out. The background was made with papers. 

Here are all my makes together. 

Stay safe and well. 

Happy Crafting

Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog - Blue Christmas - Sponsor Bugaboo

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week and have something nice planned for the weekend. We are planning to visit our daughter and son-in-law on Sunday. They are thinking of moving and they want us to see the house they are interested in. My dad got on well at daycare. So he is now signed up to go once a week. I think it will be good for him he will be encouraged to do activities and mixing with other people is good too.

Today the new challenge starts at the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog and the theme is Blue Christmas. The sponsor this time is Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

When I printed the image I printed the papers to go with it at the same time. This way I don't have to go hunting for papers of the right colour. Everything was printed onto Neenah Card Stock. 

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

This image is called Snow Friends and is available HERE.  This cute image was coloured with my Promarkers. I made a frame for the image with my Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. The Merry Christmas die is from Crafter's Companion and the Snowflake chain came from The Works. 

 

This is another one for my stash. I really liked making a blue Christmas card. Why not join in with our challenge and get ahead with your Christmas card makes.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

The backing paper has been in my stash for a while. It does have a slight sparkle.

This image is called Winter Robin and it is available from Sheepski Designs. I printed on to Neenah card stock and coloured with my Promarkers. I made a frame for the image with the Double Pierced Rectangles from Creative Expressions. I used black card stock and I aged it with Pebeo Gilding wax. Can you just see the Santa's Sleigh die that I used. 

This is a John Next Door die I think it comes with some labels. 

I cut some trees with the Winter Trees die set from Creative Expressions from black card and then I used Pebeo gilding wax.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

It is time for the new challenge on the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog and the theme is Ornaments. The fabulous sponsor is LeAnn's World 101.

I did colour the image first and I made all the ornaments blue. So I chose blue papers to go behind the image.

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

This image is called Decorating LeAnn and it is available HERE.  I printed onto Neenah card and I coloured with my Promarkers. Then I fusssy cut the image. 

This is one of John Next Doors sentiments it came with a tag set. It is just brilliant for being small. I often forget to leave space for a sentiment.

Winter Wonderland Challenge blog - theme Use Red and Green

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Happy Friday. This morning I am helping at a Felting workshop and I am going straight from there to invigilating. So it will be a busy day of contrasts. I am not sure what we are doing at the weekend but it is nice to have nothing planned.

The new challenge starts at the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog and the theme this time is Use Red and Green ( you can use other colours too). The sponsor is Dr Digi's House of Stamps. 

I found a tutorial online showing how to make a U-fold card. When I make this type of card I love that I can use my guillotine to cut all the mats and layer.  The sentiment was cut with a John Next Door die. The label was cut with a Creative Expressions die. 

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

This image is called Selfie Santa and is available HERE.  The image was printed onto Neenah Card Stock and coloured with Promarkers. I just wish I had put the image a bit lower on the card. 

I have plans to make another card to this design.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Lakeside Clear Stamp set from Beccy's Place Step Panel Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week and are ready for what the weekend has in store. This week I have been invigilating. I will be doing the same next week and then we have a week off. This weekend we are having some very dear friends to supper. It will be lovely to have a catch up it has been a while.

As promised I am sharing in more detail one of the cards that I made with the Lakeside Clear stamp set from Beccy's Place. I am very lucky that Beccy is happy to send stamps to me all the way from Australia.

I have made Step Panel cards but this is the most successful. It is fully self standing and that is an achievement. The papers I used have been in my stash for ages. 

This is the fabulous stamp set: it is available HERE.  Beccy does ship overseas. 

Beccy likes us to make a colour chart to go with our makes. I am not very good at this yet. You can see from the picture which Promakers I used. 

I do like this boat and it is easy to colour. I used some Tattered Lace oval dies to cut out the image and it's mat. 

Here you can see the step. I think this is a good was to showcase an image. Also it will fold flat for posting. 

I have a couple more cards to share from the set of cards I made for Beccy. She is lovely to work for. I am rather busy for the next few weeks. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

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

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

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.

Get Well Card featuring Clyde the Dragon

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have a relatively quiet week. Today I am helping at a Felting Workshop which is run by my dear friend. I think  we will be making pictures. Sometimes I get to make my own project sometimes I help to complete a project for the group. I won't know what I will be doing until I get there. I do so love helping though it is a lovely gentle morning in very pleasant surroundings.

Although I have had some time to craft this week I have been struggling a bit to know quite what to do. I was looking at the Bugaboo website and I spotted the free image of the week which is Clyde Get Well. The little dragon was so cute he was just begging to be made into a card.

The backing paper was created with some inky kitchen roll when from when I had been using some Brushos. The ribbon was from my stash. The layers were cut with the Double Pierced Square dies from Creative Expressions. 

Isn't Clyde cute. He was printed onto Neenah card stock and coloured with Promarkers. I used the Double Pierced Rectangle dies to cut out the image and its mat. 

The flowers and leaves were created with punches that emboss. I have had these punches for a while it was good to use them again. 

I think this is quite a cheerful Get Well card it will go into my basket until I need one. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Winter Wonderland Challenge blog - Tribute Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

As promised I am back.

The new challenge starts at the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog. This one is a special challenge as it is a tribute to Eileen who was the former owner and Design Team Coordinator who sadly passed away two years ago. The theme of the challenge is Anything Christmas Goes and the sponsor is Dr Digi's House of Stamps.

I knew I had the red snowflake paper on my computer so when I printed the image I printed some to go with him. I added a strip at the bottom so Santa didn't look like he was floating. 

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

This is Eileen she is sadly missed. 

This is the Simply Santa image and he is available HERE. He was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promarkers. I cut him out by hand. 

I used the Happy Snowflakes die set from John Next Door. Not only for the sentiment but I added snowflakes all over the card. 

I am quite pleased with the design of this card. It is still nice and flat for posting. I may well make some more cards like this. The Santa is very jolly. 

I would like to enter the following Challenges:
