My Time to Craft Christmas #50 New Year's Day 2023

 Good morning! Are you all ready for the holiday? Presents all wrapped and under the tree? Cards delivered to the neighbours? No, me neither!

Well, in a week's time we'll be getting ready to welcome in 2023, and so our new challenge at My Time to Craft Christmas is to make something for New Year's Day.  I have kept it simple, using die-cuts.


I used an old layering cover die by Sissix, the bottom layer is matte gold card and the top layer is a rather pretty magents.  The numbers were cut with an old Memory Box numbers set.  Very easy - though it takes a long time to dot wet glue over the die-cuts!

I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing Christmas.  American and Canadian friends, keep warm and safe in the awful weather you're experiencing.  Here in the UK we complain about the weather (It's tipping down with rain today) but we don't really know what bad weather is like in comparison.

Thanks for looking, enjoy the celebrations, and I hope all your presents come with batteries!

With a lorra, lorra love,

I'm reading this late on the 23rd and we've had -20 to -30 below zero wind chill and wind gusts between 20-50 miles per hour today. About an hour ago, I went to start our washer and the sensor kept shutting and repeating then the water line/machine would try to kick on!!! When I alerted my husband, he tried the different temperature settings and on hot, the water started flowing in but not for cool or cold. So he called a friend who had borrowed a propane heater, and went to the gas station to get the portable propane tank filled (station was due to close within 15-20 minutes!!!) and luckily the cold water line just needed a couple minutes of heat to thaw!!! If I had waited until Saturday morning, it might have busted the line. What a close call! As an American friend (Illinois), I appreciated your blog post line about keeping warm and safe. We are trying!! What's crazy is our forecast for this coming Thursday is to have 50 degree temps!! We'll feel like wearing shorts! :) Your New Year's card is elegant and colorfully festive!! I love the magenta, gold, and white combination! Blessings for Christmas and may you have a healthy and prosperous 2023! --Becca/team-mate

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
