Beccy's Place - Tea Time

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I had to go to the doctors yesterday but everything is fine. Have you noticed that I have put on comment moderation?  I felt I had to do this as twice recently I have had a lot of spam comments. I will keep an eye on the comments and if all calms down I will take the comment moderation off.

Today I am sharing the cards I made with the second set of images that I was sent by Beccy Muir at Beccy's Place to work with. The set is called Tea Time and is available HERE.

The images are all in the PNG format. Which means they have no background and can be layered over a background and other images. You can get so many different looks by changing which images you put together. I just couldn't resist these flowers in the cup. I used Publisher to manipulate the images and to create the background. All my colouring was done with Promarkers. 

For this card I used one of my own photos I took at  Standen House  and Garden which we visited just before Christmas last year. I think the cups look great stacked up in front on the dresser. The background I made with the strip die from the Sandwich Box die set from John Next Door. 

If you click on the image you will be taken to this set in the store. 

Beccy really does have some wonderful image sets in her store. There is always precoloured versions of the images which can really save time if you are in a hurry. 

Here are the two cards together. I didn't realise how much I would enjoy digital crafting. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Challenge 47 at the Crafty Addicts challenge blog

Challenge 21 at the Creates and Makes Challenge blog

Enjoy the rest of the week 

Happy Crafting

Alphabet Challenge - Letter C - Cake

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? We are a bit closer to Easter with today being Good Friday. We are going to church later for a service.

The new challenge starts today on the Alphabet Challenge blog the letter is C and the theme is Cake.

This is an 8" x 8" card. I created the background by stamping a cupcake stamp with Perfect Medium and heat embossing with a white powder. Then I used Distress Ink to colour the background. I do like the resist technique. 

The tea-pot, cups and cupcake dies came from my Crafter's Companion Advent calendar. 

This is an actual recipe I got it from the internet. I copied it into Word and I edited the text to make it look the way I wanted. I printed onto white card in brown and I inked the edges with Distress ink. The Happy Birthday die came from the same Advent Calendar. 

I hope you have a wonderful Easter.

Happy Crafting

Macmillan Coffee morning

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a good week. The weather has been a bit changeable here but I have  kept walking to work and back to try to get my fitness  back on track.

I was invited by a friend to a Macmillan coffee morning but unfortunately it will be held when I am  at work. I wanted to support her so I decided to make a card that I could put a donation in.

I got this stamp set in a goody bag when attend the Craft show at Newbury Racecourse back in July. For the background I used one of the designs from Delightful Digi's from the O-Sew-Sweet collection. I also found a doily in my stash. The sentiment was cut with a Spellbinder set. 

I must say the stamps did stamp nicely. I did a whole page of images and and cut them out with my ScanNcut it does save a lot of time. I coloured the images with my Promarkers and the bow came from my stash. 

This just  shows the detail of the cupcake stamp.

I will be sending this card with my donation soon. Don't worry I won't be missing out on cake as there will be a week long cake sale at work. So much for getting fitter but who can resist a good cake?

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting
