In the Woods from Beccy's Place

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Hasn't it been hot. I have to admit that I am finding it difficult to get on. I need to work on the Table plan. We have bought a collage frame that fits nicely in the case.

I am not longer the Guest Designer at Beccy's Place. I just wanted to share with you a couple more of the cards I made with the In the Woods set I was given to work with.

I love the backing that I found in my stash to go with the friendly raccoon. I thin is is meant to be a colouring page. The raccoon was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promarkers.

Being digital images they are easy to flip. The background was made with Pixie powders. 

There are lots of lovely images in Beccy's store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

This the wonderful In the Woods stamp set. 

Here are all the cards I made with this set. The images were fun to work with. 

Happy Crafting

Sparkly Butterflies

Hi My Crafter Blog Friends

How is your weekend going? Some of us have an extra day to look forward to and others of us have a whole week of half term coming.  Yesterday we visited both sets of parents. Today our daughter and her fiancé are coming to stay so we can all celebrate her birthday tomorrow. It should be lots of fun it is always nice to see them.

I have been playing with my  Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens again I just can't resist getting them out to play with and that Sheena Douglass butterfly stamp is so gorgeous.

I used three different embossing folders to make this card. I used the free one from the magazine again as it is easy to cut an aperture in the card before it is embossed. Then I can use the die that I used for the aperture as the centre on a frame for the same aperture. The background embossing folder is an older one by Creative Expressions. The fussy ribbon was in my stash it looks a bit like a skirt. 

For the background to the aperture I used a Floral embossing folder by Crafter's Companion I used white Centura Pearl card and I coloured the raised areas with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. The butterflies were stamped with black archival ink onto water colour card and coloured with the Sparkle pens and some water and a brush. The butterflies were cut out by hand. 

The sentiment was cut from a page of sentiments and mounted onto purple card. 

Here are our furry house guests they are quite sweet and I think they enjoy being here. 

I would like to enter Challenge 55 at the Butterfly Challenge blog. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Happy Crafting.

Happy Easter Bunnies Galore

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Easter to one and all. Just a quick post from me as today is all about precious family time. The wedding was brilliant but more of that for another day.

I am sharing the Easter Card that I made for our daughter and her fiancé. They have a couple of rabbits hence the design.

Everything was die-cut. 

I love the combination of yellow and green for Spring and Easter it reminds me of all the beautiful Spring flowers. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday.

Take care.

Pop-up Box Card for a 16th Birthday

Hi My Blog Friends

I hope you had a good weekend. We managed to get so many jobs done which was very satisfying,   my husband's back is better and we are cold free. Our daughter moved the last of her stuff out and this made it easier to get lots sorted. I am very keen to buy some craft storage in an attempt to tame my ever growing stash.

The card I am sharing today was another commission I do seem to be getting more commissions lately. It would be nice to be in the position to be able to fund my hobby.

It is quite a large card having been made from an A3 sheet of card which was scored on my Hougie board.

The flowers were punched,  the numbers were cut with some X-cut dies and the butterflies with a Sizzix die.

All the other mauve panels were embossed but I don't seem to have photographed them. I kept the front panel flat to take the sentiment which was made with a  Signature die and some tonic letter dies. I was very pleased that the name fitted on the panel.

This photo shows the slats across the box and how I arranged the elements once they were attached to strips of acetate. Of course it all packs flat to fit an envelope.

I did promise that if everything worked out with our daughter's rabbits I would share a picture of them. Well the good news is that everything seems fine and they are getting on well.

Aren't they cute and they are very affectionate with each other. We were helped hugely by CottonTails Rescue in Westbury, Wiltshire. 

I hope you have a good week with lots of crafting.

LOTV Thank You Card

Good morning Bloggers

What a damp Bank Holiday we are having at least it is a day off and if you can't get out you can always craft.

I made this thank you card for the lady who looked after our rabbits while we were on holiday.

It is quite a simple card. The branches and leaves were some Spellbinder dies I had I often use these dies they are very useful. 

The Thank You was a Clarity stamp I used two shades of Distress ink to colour it I haven't done this before but I like the effect. 

This is the insert again done with Clarity stamps, they do do very sharp detail, and the same two shades of ink. 

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. 

Happy Bank Holiday

New Home Card

Hi Everyone

We have had a busy week our daughter moved home last weekend, she and friends are renting a house together. My husband and I have done our fair share of helping. I made this card to post to her at her new address.

Eventually there will be four bunnies in the house and when I found this LOTV image in my stash I thought it was ideal. The embossing folder was a Sue Wilson one and the corner dies were by Tonic. I used Britannia dies for the sentiment.

I thought you might like a sneak peak of the cards and bits I sent off to Sam Poole for her shows on Create and Craft on Saturday the times are 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.

Have a great week. I hope to be back sometime soon. 

Have fun.

Hugs Jackie

Visit Sam's shop for some great bargains and
every Monday one of my creations is featured on the blog. 

Lots of stamping and two new friends who have come to live with us.

I had lots of fun with this card. I don't often do stamping there is so much stuff to get out but when I do I always enjoy it. This started with a Barbara Grey rose stamp that was a club members gift. I had been want to use it for a while. I stamped it in Perfect Medium all over a piece of white card. Then I heat embossed it with a clear embossing powder. After that I inked over it with Distress ink using cut and dry foam where the embossing was stayed white. That was the background done. I took ages choosing some ribbon from my stash. Then out came the gilding flakes I  use Indigo Blu glue and flakes so I stamped and gilded the rose on some pink paper three time and cut them out with scissors. The leaves are from the Tim Holtz Bigz Die Tattered Leaves. The sentiment is individual letters stamped and them gilded.

Our daughter has come home to live with us and she has brought these cute little fellows with her. They are so soft.

Thank you for taking time to look at my blog.
