Not Just Cards - January Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? Thank you for all the kind comments on my snippet Christmas cards. It was such a cool idea I wanted to share it. Since I have made another four cards.

Now as it is the 11th of the month it is time for the new challenge at the Not Just Cards Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes.

This is the card I made for our son-in-law's birthday back in early December. I used the bottle die set from John Next Door. It comes with all the bits to make the bottle and the wine glasses and stars. The backing paper was in my stash. I chose red for the wine as that is what he likes. 


Our challenge is open just click on the logo and you will be taken to the blog to join in. 


This is a Creative Expression Happy Birthday die. 


The numbers for the year where cut with some Crafter's Companion dies. I think he like his card. I hope you have a good weekend. We are planning to do more tidying and sorting out. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

My Husband's Christmas Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have been busy making Christmas cards again. The weather being the way it is has meant lots more time to craft.

Usually the first Christmas card I make is for my husband. This year with all the things going on I have only just got round to making it. Getting this done made a huge difference to how I am feeling about things. The card for our daughter and son-in-law is already made. Last week I managed to get lots of Christmas cards made with a Hunkydory kit that came free with the November issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.

I was very quick off the mark to get the Champagne Bottle die set from John Next Door. When I saw it demoed on TV I could see it had lots of potential.


So I used it to make a Christmas card for my hubby. The dies cut beautifully. I embossed the background and used some ribbon from my stash. The card is just a bit smaller than A4. The set comes with two dies that cut out stars. I have wanted dies to do this for ages and in fact I used them first on another card. I also cut some snowflakes in white to add texture to the background. 


I used John's sentiment on the label. 


I cut the wine glasses in silver mirror card and added red mirror card to look like red wine (it is his favourite). 


Here you can see the detail of the bottle. There are lots of dies in the set it has been well though out. I did use some number dies from my collection to add the date. 


Usually I post an off set picture of the card. I tried twice and for different reasons the photos  didn't work so I gave up.  I am pleased with how this card turned out. I have already made a birthday card with this die set it is going to be very useful.
