Dream Valley Challenge #77 Big Birthdays.

For my DT post for The Squirrel and the Fox please scroll down to the previous post. Ta.

Good afternoon, everyone! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley which is Big Birthdays Our lovely boss-lady had a special birthday this weekend, so this challenge is in her honour!

We are asking for Special birthdays - eg 1, 18, 21, or any of the ones ending in a big, fat Zero!

Our Sponsor is the amazing Robyn's Fetish

Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award the winner 3 digital stamps

The DT were lucky to have some images to work with: this is Heloise the Garden Girl isn't she sweet?


A lovely friend will be 50 soon, and this is the ideal image, as she loves her gardening! I used a Spellbinders Labels Fourteen Die, with a Lattice die behind it to look like a trellis. The flowers are cut with a Crealies Die, and I layered two die-cuts for each one. The vine is from a Cheery Lynne Fanciful Flourish die, which I cut into pieces and put behind the flowers.

The sentiment is Penny Black and the numbers are Tim Holtz grunge, covered in Mustard Seed Distress Ink and Glossy Accents. The papers are by Nitwits.

I used Snippets for everything, so I'm joining in at Pixie's Crafty Snippets Challenge - Hi, guys! *waves*

Go and see the gorgeousness that my teamies have created!

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x

LOve the way you've combined these 2 S/B dies. Perfect as the mats for your little gardening cutie. This is just so spring & sunshine-y feeling. Will make turning 50 much brighter I'm sure. That just still a youngster, but at the time, it didn't feel that way! (well, speak for myself on that one!). Good to see ya in the Playground, and TFS such a cute card. Hugs

Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
