The Squirrel and the Fox Challenge #70 Let's hear It For The Girls!

Hi, guys! We have a cracking Challenge for you this time at The Squirrel and the Fox - Let's Hear it For The Girls! That is, make something for the Ladies, whether it's for a child, a teen, a Grannie - we're celebrating The Ladies here!

And, as an exclusive, one-time-only event, we are running this over TWO Challenges! So you have twice as long to enter!

Our amazing sponsor is once again the fabulous Make It Crafty. There's a prize of a $10 voucher for the digi store - AND if you use a MiC image you'll have a chance at a bonus prize!!!


Isn't this lady so elegant?! I coloured her gown in shades of blue Promarker (her ruched overskirt looks grey in the picture, but it's actually grey-blue.)

I used Spellbinders Exquisite Labels 11 for the diecut background, and layered a labels 29 on top - I love how different Spellbinders go together so well!

The ribbon is seam binding, and the flowers are from stash. The sentiment reads 'Fill your days with joy and laughter' and I think it was a magazine freebie. It's mounted on a Sb 'Fancy Tag.'

All the blue card is Centura Pearl, it has such a lovely sheen!

Please have a look at my teamies' fab makes, and then have a go yourselves!

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x

Dream Valley Challenges #205 Yellow and Black

Image
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
