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

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

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
