Feel Better Soon Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you all doing? Are you managing to get everything you need? We are fine we even did a bit of shopping last week for two older couples who aren't going out . The delivery slots are so difficult to get. We have told them to get in touch if they need anything else. On a positive note I have managed to get Attendance Allowance for both of my parents. My mum gets the higher rate and my dad the lower. The payments were backdated to when I phoned up and asked for the forms. Every little helps.

I don't know if you are like me but I am finding it very difficult to craft at the moment. If I do manage to make something I am usually not very pleased with it.

A little while ago I made this little feel better card.

I seached through my scrap box and found this background made with Distress Oxides that I had never used.

The banner was cut from a scrap of white glitter card. Both the banner and the sentiment are Crafter's Companion dies.

The splats/fireworks are the stamen from the Cornflower die from the John Next Door range. I have found that if you layer a 2½ wide strip across the middle of the die you get two small flowers and all the stamen. Because of this I had lots of stamen left over (I still have). I do like how they look on the card.

Is anyone else doing Barbara Gray's SHAC-Shack? It is at 10:00 every week day on Facebook. You sketch along with Barbara for an hour. I have done all of them and I can't believe what I have doodled so far. I have learnt so many tips and techniques already. The films are on YouTube as well.

Stay safe and well.

Sent with Love Get Well Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

The weekend is here. I hope you are well. I am feeling a bit fragile and tired. I woke with a headache in the night and that is never good. Hopefully I will feel better by tomorrow when our daughter and son-in-law come to collect their very cute hamster. We have bought the M&S £10 pizza meal deal to share. Two pizzas a side and a pudding not bad really.

I made this as a Get Well card for someone special. All the dies I used are from the John Next Door range from Crafts-Too.

The card blank was made with the Foston Die set. I used the lattice die that comes with the set to decorate the front of the card.

The 'Sent with Love' die comes with the Small butterflies die set.

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Star Flowers and Star Flowers Leaves die sets. The butterfly was from the Small Butterfly die sets.

I know this card has been received now so it is okay to share.

Two masculine cards made with Pollyanna Pickering images

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We really made the most of our extra day at the weekend. We popped out in the morning. First to the garden centre for a coffee and a piece of cake to share. The real reason for going there was to buy another plant for our garden. Then we went to Halfords and my husband bought new windscreen wipers that he fitted when we got home. The new plants for the garden were planted. The potted Christmas tree was repotted. I sorted out the weeds on our drive. My husband also did some filing. It was a good day of catching up on jobs.

I really do like images by Pollyanna Pickering. I think the ones I have chosen this time make fantastic masculine cards.

I decided to make a Father's Day card for my dad. Since the summer when he was very ill his short term memory has been affected. The strange thing is he is very happy now much happier than he has ever been and he says nice things now which he never used to do. I think he will like this image of a tiger.

The card is on the side and when I walk past it I always think how much I like this tiger.

This is a Signature die. I have had it for a long time and I use it for just about every Father's Day card I have made.

Someone from our church was rather ill. It was suggested that I make him a Get Well card. If you notice I used the same backing paper and ribbon for both cards.

This owl is adorable.

Here are the two card together. I really do like those images a lot.

Nautical themed Get Well Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week. The weather here has certainly been lovely. I also hope you have something nice to do at the weekend. On Saturday we are seeing my parents and my sister. On Mothering Sunday our daughter is coming for the day and we are having a meal together. It should be a nice weekend. We are also hoping to do some bits in the garden too.

A few of our friends have been ill recently and I needed some Get Well cards. Here is one of them.

I found the backing paper in my stash and I cut an aperture in it with the Star Burst die. The anchor is an All Occasions die and the waves at the bottom is a Tattered Lace die. The sentiment came free with a magazine and has proved to be quite useful.

This is a Tattered Lace sailing ship die it was just the right size for this card. I cut the die in brown and then added the white sails and red flags. I like the effect of the star burst behind the ship.

I think the chap who received this card liked it. He is on the road to recovery now which is good.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a great weekend.

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.
