Lakeside Clear Stamp set from Beccy's Place Step Panel Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week and are ready for what the weekend has in store. This week I have been invigilating. I will be doing the same next week and then we have a week off. This weekend we are having some very dear friends to supper. It will be lovely to have a catch up it has been a while.

As promised I am sharing in more detail one of the cards that I made with the Lakeside Clear stamp set from Beccy's Place. I am very lucky that Beccy is happy to send stamps to me all the way from Australia.

I have made Step Panel cards but this is the most successful. It is fully self standing and that is an achievement. The papers I used have been in my stash for ages. 

This is the fabulous stamp set: it is available HERE.  Beccy does ship overseas. 

Beccy likes us to make a colour chart to go with our makes. I am not very good at this yet. You can see from the picture which Promakers I used. 

I do like this boat and it is easy to colour. I used some Tattered Lace oval dies to cut out the image and it's mat. 

Here you can see the step. I think this is a good was to showcase an image. Also it will fold flat for posting. 

I have a couple more cards to share from the set of cards I made for Beccy. She is lovely to work for. I am rather busy for the next few weeks. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

The May Challenge at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

Beccy' Place - Clear Stamp Set - Lakeside

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? I hope that you had a good time. We enjoyed the Pokémon Detective Pikachu movie and the meal after with our daughter and son-in-law. It is always special spending time with them. In the summer I have been asked if I would like to show my cards at an Open Studios event. This meant that we spent some of the weekend working out how I could display my cards. The event is in August so I have some time to prepare. I am very flattered to have been asked. We also did some work in the garden. This week I will be mostly invigilating. It is exam time again.

Yesterday my cards were featured on the Beccy's Place Blog.  A little while back Beccy asked me to be one of her blog contributors. I readily agreed as I love Beccy's images and she is a lovely person to work with. To my surprise I was sent the Lakeside clear stamp set all the way from Australia. I did enjoy stamping and making different backgrounds. There are so many techniques you can use with stamps. 

Here are all my makes together. I will be featuring the individual makes in their own blog posts. 

This is the stamp set and it is available HERE. 

Have a great week. 

 Happy Crafting

Beecy's Place new images In the Woods

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? We are now making more bits for the family wedding in Malta. I was only asked on Thursday. So there isn't long and there are no firm decisions about what they want. I have made some samples I just need them to choose. Enough about me.

You might have seen this post before and some kind people left comments. I got mixed up with the releases so I had to put this post back to drafts.

As you probably know I am the first Guest Designer at Beccy's Place and I have had the chance to work with some wonderful new images.

Being digital images they are very easy to flip. I decided to make another step panel card to show off the happy Deer. I made the paper using surgical spirit and ink on very shiny paper. 

Beccy has lots of great images in her store. If you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This set is called In the Woods and is available HERE. 

This sentiment just seemed to suit so well. 

They do look very happy don't they? 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. My husband will be watching the England game and I will probably make their wedding card.

Nautical Step Panel Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? So far the weather has been quite kind this week and we have seen a bit of the sun. I have been ordering food for a celebration of my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. We are having a get together at the end of August.

I think I have said that I am struggling with my card making at the moment. I wanted to make something for my father-in-law he does love getting my cards. I had no inspiration at all and then I was flicking through issue 168 of Quick Cards Made Easy magazine and I spotted How to make Step Panel cards. I knew this would be ideal. He loves shaped cards and this one I have never made before.

The instructions in the magazine were very easy to follow. I used my scoring board to make all the folds. This card will fold flat to go in an envelope. 

The topper came from an old card. The mats and layers were cut with circle dies. 

I decided to make an extra panel for the Happy Birthday it helps it to be seen more clearly. 

I think he will like this card. I enjoyed making a different type of card. I think I need to challenge myself a bit more. 

I would like to enter challenge 176 at the Cards 4 Guyz Challenge blog , challenge 342 at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge blog , challenge 50 at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog , challenge 348 at the Crafty Creations Challenge blog and challenge 8 at Do-A1 (1) Kreatives.

Happy Crafting
