Beatles Themed Christmas Bridge Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? It isn't long until the big day now. I was thrilled to find that I had made enough Christmas cards this year. All of them are in the post now.  This has meant that I have had some time for  other crafting. There is still plenty to do like visiting friends and getting the house sorted.

I am sharing the Christmas card that I made for our good friends that we go to see all Beatles Tribute bands with. We have one more trip planned to Brighton to see the Bootleg Beatles in there final show of their current tour. We are already booked to see the Bootlegs again next year.

This is similar to the design that I made for our friend's birthday. This is a bridge card. To me it looks a bit like a stage. I made the background with one of my photos of a brick wall. I added the phrases in white. The tree is a Beccy's Place image called Oh Night Divine. The message is written on the back of the card. 

The digi stamps I used are from Vera Lane Studio. They came in two sets with phrases. There is John and Paul - the Beatles and George and Ringo - the Beatles. I found a file of a Christmas hat on the internet and I added hats to the Beatles to make them festive. The figures were coloured with Promarkers the hats came pre-coloured. 

Here you can see the way the design works. 

I know my friend loves this card. This was such a good set of images for me to buy. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. I hope all your Christmas prep goes well.

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.

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:
