My Time to Craft #456 Sentimental

 

Good morning! It's a red-letter dayat the Manor, as this morning Ye Olde Manne and I receive our second Covid vaccinations! Our Church Hall is being used by our 3 local surgeries, and several of my friends are volunteering there so I'm looking forward to the trip! How strange it is that events that used to be a chore are now a valued reason for getting out of the house! 

In the meantime I'm here early to tell you about our new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Sentimental. That is, make your sentiment the focal point on your creation.
I used an old die-set, Blueprints 1, by My Favorite Things to cut my paper and cardstock. The cardstock is pearlised, and the paper is from the scraps drawer, while the gold-flecked ribbon is from my stash. The gold-embossed sentiment is another oldie, this time by Hero Arts. I added butterflies in green and blue to jazz things up a bit. 

Go and see the great ideas my teamies are showing on the Challenge blog! 

Thanks for looking and stay safe!

Love the blue and green with the white spots and the lovely sentiment also the butterflies surrounding the sentiment, so Beautiful Mags.

Happy to hear you have had your second jabs, yeah! great excuse to get out. Except for me, I went to get a diabetic blood test yesterday and asked her to use my left arm as I had it in my right last time, then proceeded to raise my short sleeve so she could "jab" me, talk about feeling I had lost my mind! I have already had both my jabs weeks ago! Old age doesn't come alone!
Keep safe

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...
