My Time to Craft! #496 Anything related to Sheep!

 Hi, guys! We have a very unusual Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is - anything to do with Sheep.  Yarn, knitting, woolly sweaters and clothes, shepherds (good for Christmas cards!) or even... Sheep!

I have 2 Sheep cards to show: one is fun, the other is romantic.


This funny jumping sheep, and the punny sentiment, are by Paper Smooches (I still miss them!) The papers are from my stash, I edged the horizontal strip with scalloped borders and Gold mirror moondust peel-offs by Love from Lizi.  I added glitter Nuvo drops to the yellow dots on the background, but unfortunately they don't show in the photo.  Finally I added Glossy Accents to the sheep's nose and eyes.

My second card could be for an engagement, a wedding or an anniversary!


This card uses two adorable sheep from MFT's Ewe are the Best stamp set.  I masked the sheep and used an MFT Cloud Stencil to make a sky, and cut some pale green card for the hill.  Then I cut the scene out with a Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Die.  The papers are from my Snippets Drawer.  I cut the sentiment from gold mirror card with a very old die by Clearly Besotted, and used the same card for the strip separating the two papers.  The red glitter heart is another Love from Lizi peel-off.

Check out the blog for more inspiration! I admit, I was puzzled when I first saw this theme, but there are many variations - but please say what your take on the theme is!

Thanks for looking and take care!

love, Mags B x

Mags both cars are super cute. I love the papers you've chosen for the first one, they're perfect for that sheep and for the font of the sentiment. And the scene you've created with the second one is adorable. Hugs, María.

Mags: You did 2 marvelous interpretations for the theme!!! Excellent!!! The pun sentiment makes your first card extra cute and charming mixed with the patterned papers, colors, and sheep image! Then the sweetness of the 2 sheep facing each other on a hilltop scene that you cut into a heart shape is perfect for congratulating a couple! Both versions are fantastic! --Becca

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

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
