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

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
