A Bit More Time to Craft - 15th May Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is everything going? Has much changed for you? My hubby is still working from home so is our daughter and son-in-law. We haven't visited any of the  places that are now open.  We would love to go to the tip but it will be so busy and we do have places to store things. We are wondering about signing up to the county garden waste scheme. 

Today the new challenge starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and there are some fantastic digi papers on offer as prizes. 

This is the leaving card I made for someone at my hubby's work. I used the Light Music digi papers. 

Our challenges are fun and the papers on offer as prizes are gorgeous. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I generated the sentiment on the computer. I was able to use some of the paper in the background. I like how you can change the size of the pattern easily with digi papers. As they are stored on my computer they are easy to find when I need them. 

This is the first Tattered Lace die that I bought. It has been very useful over the years. 

Rob did like his card. He and my hubby are still in touch. We are doing online Murder Mysteries together. The last one finished on Saturday and we actually got both of the Murderers right. 

Stay safe and well.

Hearts and music 80th Birthday Card

Hi Crafty friends

As you can see from my previous post this has not been a good week for me with the death of my aunt. I have also been very busy crafting. Why is when you are really busy that is when people ask you to make cards for them. I do find it hard to say no as there is something special about being asked to make something for an important time in their lives. I'm rambling, on to the card. This one was a commission for a wife to give her trumpet playing husband.

There are lots  of musically themed elements: the backing paper, the Tattered Lace die cuts and the embossing folder.

The hearts were made from a Spellbinders die set. I covered a piece of card with a double sided sticky sheet and then die cut the two heart shapes. This way the sticky sheet goes right to the edge of the shape and I covered it with Morris Dance gilding flakes by Indigo Blue. The with the filigree part of the dies and the outer hear die I cut the top layer and stuck these on top of the gilding. 

This is a Tattered Lace die and I must admit that it did cut beautifully.

I do like keeping the insert simple so that there is room to write.

Have a great weekend what ever you are doing.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave.
