My Time to Craft #369 Inspired by a Film

Hi, guys! I hope you're enjoying a good weekend. My daughter is visiting from Ireland and we've just come back from a delicious lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Nomnomnom!

Onto our new Challenge at My Time to Craft! and the theme is Inspired by a Film. I have made a card for a bloke, featuring Superman.

All the images are from Paper Smooches' Super stamp set, and I fussy cut Superman and the buildings in the background. The papers are from stash, I used a Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders die for the grass.

I added clear Nuvo Drops to some of the sars in the sky, and the star on the sentiment is from stash.

I hope you all have a 'super' week ahead!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Monday, everyone! Our new Challenge at Dream Valley is to use At Least 2 Buttons on your creation!

I used 6 little wooden buttons that came free with a magazine!

Hi, guys! It's time once again for our regular Christmas theme at CRAFT Challenge.

My Time to Craft - A Box or Bag with matching Tag

Morning, all! Happy weekend!

Our new Challenge at My Time to Craft is to make a box or a bag with a matching tag. Quite an unusual Challenge - and it rhymes, too!!

My tag was die-cut with a Simon Says Stamp Tag Die and the box was cut with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treats Box die. I used 2 co-ordinating Bo Bunny patterned cardstocks, both now out of print. I love the teal colour!

The rose die is from a Love From Lizi kit from last year. I die-cut the outline from antique gold cardstock, then inlaid green and pink. It took ages, but I love the effect!

Here's a close-up of the tag:

and here's the box:

The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted and the ribbon is from stash.

My teamies have worked wonders with the theme, as usual, do take a look! Then, if you want a change from making a card, go for a box or bag and a tag!

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!
