Nautical Scenes die set - Take Two

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good week and that you have something nice planned for the weekend. This afternoon we will be setting up my table at the Open Studios event. On Sunday it will be my husband's tea party at our local tea shop. It is going to be a busy weekend.

After Wednesday's post I had another try with the Nautical Scenes die set that came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft issue 192.

All the papers I used came from a 12 x 12 paper pad that came from The Works. It was very good value and I loved the colours. All the papers are double sided.

I used the Double Pierced Circle dies from Creative Expressions to make the frame and to cut the acetate to go in the frame. To create the scene inside I used dies from the Nautical Scenes die set.

I used some of the other dies in the set to add interest to this panel.

I do like making nautical cards. This one will go in the sale. I will let you know how it goes.

Nautical Scenes Die Set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I can't believe how busy August is this year. We had a lovely time away in Lille for my husband's birthday. On Sunday we hosted the first of his two tea parties at his parents house. That went very well. This Sunday we are having a private tea party at our local tea rooms. In amongst all of this I am getting ready to have some cards to sell at one of the Hampshire Open Studios events which starts on Saturday. There is a lot more to it than I first realised.

I have been wanting to have a play with the Nautical Scenes die set that came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine a few months ago. Yesterday I got my chance.

I found an off cut from a larger card that would make a nice tent fold card. I found some card to make the mats and layers in my scrap pile.

Then using all sorts of snippets I used the dies in the set to cut the layers to make the scene.

The little boat is so cute. I do have a lot of nautical dies and being smaller these will make a nice addition to my collection.

Now I have had a play with these dies I want to have another go to try out some other ideas.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Challenge 396 at Crafty Creations Challenges

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Happy Crafting

Not Just Cards August Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a great weekend. Today we are hosting the first of two tea parties for my husband's birthday. This one will be in Aldershot at his parents house. We are leaving early to sort the house out and to be there to receive the food order. The trick will be not to let my mother-in-law do anything after her recent spell in hospital. I will let you know how it all goes.

Being the 11th of the month the new challenge starts at the Not Just Cards Challenge blog our theme is Anything Goes.

As soon as I saw these images by Vera Lane Studio I just had to have them. Lots of you will know that we and our friends are big Beatles fans. This images will be so useful for making cards for our friends. I decided to make a Bridge Card to make it look a bit like a stage. For the backing paper I used an image of a brick wall, I made the quotes, that came with the images, white and placed them over the bricks.

Just click on the logo and you will be taken to our current challenge.

The images come in two sets of two. I coloured them with Promarkers and fussy cut them.

Here are the last two. I can see myself using these images a lot. I already have an idea for a Christmas card.

My Beatles mad friend loved this card and it has gone into her Beatles collection.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Happy 60th Birthday Keith

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

You might have noticed that I have not been around lately. We are in France to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We had a trip away for mine so it is only fair. He will be having not one but two tea parties with different groups of people. Both involve tea and cake. 🙂

I have made him a very special card that he won't be able to open until he gets home. Then I thought it was a bit mean not to have anything to open on the day. So I made one that could travel.

This had to be a relatively quick card and one that could go in a suitcase. I found an old card with these bottles of wine on, Hopefully we will be having some nice French wine tonight.

I used the Piece by Piece dies set from Die-Cutting Essential magazine. I think it is nice to leave some of the pieces not quite in the puzzle. My husband like another card that I made with this die set.

This is my hubby in Sorrento last year. That was a lovely restaurant.

I think he will like this card. I will catch up with everyone when we get back.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Winter Wonderland Challenge blog - Ornaments

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 still hospital visiting. We aren't sure when my mother-in-law will be coming home. When she does things are going to have to change.

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.

Have a great weekend.

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) - Bees

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I am back again today with my second post. This is for the new challenge at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) challenge blog and June has chosen the theme of BEES.

I was going through my stash and I came across a background I had made with Pixie Powders.

When I think of Bees I think of summer and flowers.

The Bee die came from the Dovecraft Bee Happy Die Collection. I cut the die in black and backed it with white glitter card. I coloured the yellow bits with Promarkers.

The sentiment comes with the die set too.

I made the sunflowers with a Spellbinder's die set. I love sunflowers they are so bright and cheerful they look like they are smiling at you.

I was very pleased with how this card turned out and very pleased that I had bought a bee die set.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Crafts Galore Encore - August Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We are still hospital visiting. My mother-in-law went back into hospital. Last time they let her out too soon. Both of my in-laws are in their 90s I think there are going to have to be some changes to their living arrangements. This is my first blog post today. The second will follow soon.

Today is busy in blog land being the first of the month. The new challenge starts at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog our theme is Anything Goes. The fabulous sponsor is Fred She Said.

I fell in love with this digi set as soon as I saw it. I matched it with some tartan paper and some tartan ribbon,

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

This cute little Westie comes in the Winter Westie digital stamp set that is available HERE. I made a background on the computer I placed the PNG image on top and he was coloured with Promarkers. I cut the image and the mats with some Tattered Lace oval dies. I just had to add a ribbon.
