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

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Image
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

Bear birthday card!

Image
 Hello there! This is a very late post, but I've just been messaged by my son-in-law that he's received his birthday card, so at last I can post it! Since Brexit it has taken so much longer to send cards from the UK to friends in the EU, and I'm not organised enough to make allowances for the extra time.  Ooops! For the background I die-cut an old background die from Simon Says Stamp for a dimensional white-on-white effect.  The bear is from the  Heart Hugs  die set by Honeybee stamps.  His little paws are cut out so that he can hold balloon strings or a heart! It's such a cute set, it includes a fox and a hedgehog! The balloons and strings are from the same set - I covered the balloons in glossy accents.  The sentiment is an old stamp from the much-missed Paper Smooches. My son in law loved this simple card, I think it's very masculine. Thanks for looking and take care! love Mags B x

Inspired by Chrissie Stokes - a CAS Christmas card.

 Hi there! I have been busy preparing a class on making Christmas cards for our branch of the Mothers' Union at the end of the month.  I have been cutting reams of paper and mirror card ready to be assembled by the ladies.  I'll take some photos on the day - with permission of course! I am stupidly nervous, even though everyone there has been a friend for many years!! I am currently sorting everything and wondering what I've forgotten.  There's bound to be something! Anyway, this isn't one of the card designs for the class, it's inspired by  Chrissie Stokes  who makes beautiful CAS cards.   Here  is her blog post and this is my CASEd version. I used Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes dies, with two of each layered together for dimension, on a linen-effect panel cut with a wonky stitched die.  The sentiment is an older die by  Love from Lizi .  The gems are from my stash. I have had a lot of dental work this year to straighten my teeth and I made 10 cards like this fo
