Warm and Woolly with Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good weekend. Yesterday my hubby picked up a new car. We haven't changed our car for a while and there is a lot to get used to. The old one was showing signs of wear so it was time for it to go. 

Today I am sharing my makes with the Warm and Woolly images from Beccy's Place.  Today I am featured on Beccy's Blog. 


I uses some patterned paper in my stash. 

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

I used the Nested Oval dies from Presscut. As the Perwinkle die and the Small Leave die from the John Next Door range. I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. 


This is exactly what you will get with the Warm and Woolly set as well as line art. The set is available HERE. 


I also made a tag. I used the John Next Door Luggage Tag die set. I used the ovals on the sentiment. 


Here are both of my makes together. I did have fun colouring these images. 

Happy crafting

Wedding Card for a few People to Sign.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I can't believe we have got to the end of June. I am still busy making things that I can't share yet. Later today I am getting my hair cut. I am so looking forward to that. 

Here is a wedding card I made for the lady who is in charge of invigilating at our local secondary school. She and her now hubby got married last weekend. When we invigilators found out we decided on a joint card and a joint present. Of course I offered to make the card. 


This is an 8" x 8" card as it had to be signed by a few people. For the background I used one of the Claritystamp Designer papers. I edged the card with one of the Firth park tags. I cut two and cut them in half. 


This is the Firth Park Frame die set. I did thread a ribbon through it. The sentiment was cut with the Stencil sentiment die set. The hearts were the waste from another die. To be honest was going to share this card a few weeks ago and then I realised that I had used a die that hadn't been released yet. 


I made up the Prewinkle flowers and I added a pearl to the centre of each. I used twigs and foliage dies to go with the flowers. I did make a box to put the card in. 


I know the lady in question loved this card. I do hope the wedding went well for her. She did seem rather stressed about it all as they had to make lots of changes to their plans when we didn't come out of lockdown. 

I will be back tomorrow with another card. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Presscut Art Deco Dies for Crafts-Too and John Next Door

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good weekend. Having seen my parents last week there has been a lot to sort out. I have manged to fit in a little crafting. My A4 die cutting machine finally gave up on Friday. I am working on getting a replacement. I do have the Kaleido but I need an A4 machine for bigger dies. My hubby is being very supportive. I am sure something will be sorted soon. 

Here are the cards and other bits I made with the Presscut Deco dies that are being released by John Next Door on the Craft Store at 6.00 pm today. 


I do like extending the use of the dies I am given. This is a shaker card with some butterflies in the centre. 


Often when I have the coloured card out for one card another card will suggest itself. This time I have made a square card with a rectangular die. This time I made flower with the Small Flowers die. 


I think this is my favourite card. I just love the colours and the way the die work. I added  flowers made with the Periwinkle die. I used an off cut from the background paper. The sentiments I used came from the Deco Butterflies die set. 


I love making boxes. The acetate I used in this one came from packaging and has gold dots on it. When I had made the box I went out to buy the chocolates to go in it. The colours were just perfect. I added another Periwinkle flower. 


Here is a gift bag with more Periwinkle flowers. 


This was a fun set of dies to use. Look out for them in other makes. I am sure I will be using them a lot. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I have two weeks of invigilating coming up. 

Happy Crafting
