Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog - Use ribbon on your Project

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have been keeping myself busy and I have been able to do a bit of crafting. It has been good to get back to making things.

The new challenge starts today on the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog and the theme is to Use some Ribbon on your Project. We are very lucky to  have a sponsor this time, Crafty Ribbons.

Can you believe it has been over a year since our lovely daughter and son-in-law got married. Of course I had to make a special card for their anniversary. I used a Tattered Lace Oval Shutter Card die set to make the card base and cut all the mats and layers. 

We are very lucky to have been sponsored by Crafty Ribbons this time. There will be a prize. If you click on the logo you will be taken to the store. 

The topper was left over from the invitations and features the Lovebirds stamp from Clarity stamps. They were coloured with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. The ribbon was leftover from the wedding too. 

I made a box to hold the card. On the card and the box I used the Cape Daisy die set and the Faux Quilled leaves from Creative Expressions to decorate the box. . 

I know they liked their card. The anniversary was back in July in fact the day my dad was taken into hospital. 

Happy Craftng

New Baby Cards

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead. I have one week to go and then it will be the  half term holiday for me. I can report that the day wedding invitations are all finished. When the wedding website is finished we will be able to send them out.

When we went to the Newbury Craft Show, a few weeks ago,  I treated myself to some LC Designs stamps there was an offer 3 for £12 well it would have been rude not to.  I decided to make some new baby cards for my stash, using one of the new stamps, as I know of a few people having babies soon.

The stamp is adorable and it fits so well in an oval. I used some Tattered Lace dies from the Oval Shutter die set to cut the central panel and the lacy border. 

The stamp was stamped onto water colour card with Watering Can archival ink and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. It is very easy to colour. 

I said I'd made two here is the boy's version. 

It is a lovely stamp and so easy to adapt. I think I might play around with where the sentiment goes next time I used it. 

Here are the cards together. Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Alphabet Challenge - O - for Oval

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Well the weekend is almost here we have got to Friday. I am very excited as we are going to Ally Pally  on Sunday. I have such a long list of things to buy most of it for our daughter's wedding. It should be fun.

The Alphabet Challenge has a new challenge starting today the letter is O and the theme is Oval. As soon as I saw this challenge I knew I wanted to use my Tattered Lace Oval Shutter die set. I also needed a birthday card for my father-in-law and I knew he would love a card made with this die.

The die set comes with all the dies to make the mats and layers. 

This sailing ship is another Tattered Lace die and I made the waves with another one. 

The Happy Birthday die is one by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. 

What is totally brilliant is that the card folds up like this and fits in a regular envelope. 

I hope that you have a great weekend. 

I would like to enter Challenge 24 at Craft Rocket Challenges and the No Patterned Paper Challenge at Creative Corner Challenges.   

Happy Crafting

Tattered Lace - Sledging Mouse

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Wednesday. I am  having a busy week I was on a school trip on Monday and I am on another trip today. I hope the weather is okay the forecast is for heavy rain and we will be outside at a farm.

I was sent three sets of Christmas dies by Tattered Lace recently and the last set should be on Create and Craft today as part of the Tattered Lace Christmas Crafting Shows. The main part of the show is about snowglobe dies I was sent a Sledging Mouse die and two sentiment dies.

Here are all the cards I sent in together. 

As a bonus I was sent the Oval Shutter card set I couldn't wait to use it. It comes with all the dies for the mats and layers and there are some embellishment dies as well. That is where the stars with the mice came from. In the centre there is the Miracle of Christmas die. 

I made a wreath of plaited ribbon to surround the Miracle of Christmas die. 

This card shows the mouse and his sledge together. The trees came from a Tattered Lace magazine about a year ago. The mouse was cut out in white card and coloured with Promarkers. 

This die is meant to be on the inside of a card. I managed to make a stepper card. The mouse on this one was paper pierced. 

This tag was made with leftovers. 

I hope that you have a wonderful day. 

Happy Crafting
