Tractor Pull Digital Image Set from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you all doing. We have just come home from our cruise. The Iona is a fabulous ship. I think we have to have another cruise on her to get to know her better. I have come back slightly damaged, more of that later. 

I am one of the blog contributors for Beccy's Place. This month the fantastic Tractor Pull Digital Image set has been released. Here are my makes with the images. 

This is a very versatile set. Here is a birthday card. 

Now a Christmas card. Both of these cards used  Pre-coloured images. For the Christmas card I used the Stencils Sentiments dies from the John Next Door Range. 

Here I used just one element and a sentiment from the set. The balloons were coloured by me with my Faber Castell Polychromo colouring pencils. 

Here is the Tractor Pull set which is available HERE. 

Here are the cards together. I think this set has lots of potential. 

Happy Crafting

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to a Dear Hubby

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Well today is our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We are away cruising on the P&O ship Iona right now. Here is the card I made for my hubby. 

On the 3rd April 1982 we got married at a church in Aldershot. Forty years is a long time. 

I used lots of John Next Door dies. I knew the Stencil Anniversary  dies would be useful. Names are easy with the Stencil Alphabet. 

Here I used the Small Champagne bottle die set. The numbers are from a Britannia die set. 

We both like red wine. The numbers in the middle were cut the Advent numbers die set. 

I will be back soon with a couple more posts. Then I will let you know what I have decided to do about blogging. 

Happy Crafting

Regal Alphabet Dies New Job Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? My hubby is getting better. Really he hasn't been too bad at all. We have had a quiet week but that isn't a bad thing. Sometimes life is just so hectic. 

Here is another of my makes with the Regal Alphabet dies. Those dies are very versatile. 

I did like using the grid that came with the dies. You can make up all sorts of phrases. The bunting across the top of the card was made with the smallest of the Presscut Nested Banner dies. All the card I used was Linen card. Behind the grid I used some Clarity Stamp Designer paper. 

Enjoy the last day of the month.

Pretty Cosmo Flowers with Alphabet Frame Background

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope that you had a good weekend. My hubby has a cold so we didn't end up going to our daughter and son-in-law's house on Sunday. It was a shame but it is better for them to be safe. We did get some bits done in the garden. On Saturday we visited Grey's Court National Trust. The weather was beautiful and the garden there is just amazing. If you are ever in the area I recommend a visit. 

Here is another of the cards I made for the one day special last week on Create and Craft. This card used up lots of leftovers. I had lots of frames left from cutting tiles for the alphabet dies. Here I have overlaid one on the other to give a kind of tartan effect. I used pollen in the centre of the flowers. The heart and stars in the corners come with the Regal Alphabet set. 

I was pleased with how this card turned out. 

Have a wonderful week.

Double Flags and Cosmo Flowers and Leaves

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? The weather has been glorious. We have just accepted a quote to have our conservatory replaced. Work should start in about a month's time. When it is finished it is going to be so lovely. I will share pictures here when it is all finished. 

Here is another of my makes for the One Day Special that was on Create and Craft on Sunday through to Monday. I did hear Hayley say this was a gorgeous card. 

I used the Double Flags and the Cosmo Flower ad Leave dies. In the centre  I used the  Presscut Nested Hexagon dies. All the card I use was Linen card. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. We are off to see the Bootleg Beatles tomorrow that should be fun. 

Take care.

Pop-up Box Card with Cosmo Flowers and Leaves

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

What a lovely start to the week. The sun is shining and I have been out in the garden. There is a lot to tidy up after the winter. 

The one day special of all the new dies and pollen is still on today. It was lovely to see one of my cards on the counter. 

I do like making Pop-up Box cards in fact I do have a tutorial on this blog you can find it HERE. 

The paper came from an older John Next Door Box Kit. I made up the flowers and I put a blob on gel glue in the middle and covered that with pollen. They had to be left to dry I usually wait until the next day to use them. I added numbers and a banner to the box. I made stalks for the flowers and attached the flowers. I popped leave in between. All the card I used was Linen Card. 

Here is the card on the counter at Create and Craft. 

Have a good week. 

Happy Crafting

Release Day of the Regal Alphabet and the Cosmo Flowers and Leaves

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? There has been some lovely weather and we are enjoying our garden. Our Magnolia looks amazing this year. 

Well here is another blog post from me. I made quite a few bits with these new dies. 

The grid die doesn't have an outer border so you can make the border any size you want. I cut the Cosmo flowers from some Clarity Designer paper. I mostly used Linen card for the rest of the card. There are some gorgeous colours. When we visit my in-laws the Art of Craft shop is just down the road from them. The Crafts-Too warehouse is next door and I have been there too. 

Here is our tree and our washing. 

Some of the flowers.

The inspiration for this card came because my lovely Mother-in-law is very poorly. It would be so nice to send her a card like this. With an Alphabet it is so easy to personalise cards and other makes. 

Happy Crafting
