Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge Day 2 - B

   

This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the B prompt - Day 2

Anyway this is my B for Baubles

This is my favourite fold at the moment -You will see lots of cards of this type on my blog.

It's basically made of two strips of card - one 4 1/8 by 12 inches scored at 1.5, 3 and 7 3/8 along the long side and the other 3 by 8 scored at 5 3/4 inches.
I then added part of an image that I had incorrectly printed and was lying on my desk.
I then added elements from 49 and Market Evergreen bundle.


I will add this to the challenge


Happy Crafting!

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the A prompt - Day 1

Anyway this is my A for Antlers card:

This is my favourite fold at the moment -You will see lots of cards of this type on my blog.

It's basically made of two strips of card - one 4 1/8 by 12 inches scored at 1.5, 3 and 7 3/8 along the long side and the other 3 by 8 scored at 5 3/4 inches.
I then added paper to mat using papers from my stash. The image is from a virtual retreat that I am attending at the end of the month and just happened to be on my desk.
The sentiment is an upcycled tag.


I will add this to the challenge


Thank you Dotty Jo for the tip... I will also add this card to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #104

 I made a nutcracker box to contain a candle gift... I love this image!
It is on this collage sheet as are most of today's makes.




Because I like this image so much I used it again in this little junk journal folio made from a window envelope. The images on the outside are from the Sugar Plum Fairy ATC collage sheet. The nutcrackers are on a journaling card.


The other side has two pockets containing a tag and ATCs.


These ATCs are the ones I made using this collage sheet.


I placed these in a concertina booklet.



I made two door hangers with spaces on the back to add notes to Santa - "please stop here" "I have been good"



My last make is a set of Christmas cards:

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #858.



Quite tidy!!

On my desk easel is where I have got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!

What have I been doing? A few cards for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...


A few more of those folds that I like so much at the moment! And a quick Christmas card.


The second two funfolds use images I cut from an old Daphne's Diary magazine - I was looking through this for collage and also found a teapot to make and some book marks:



I really like Daphne's Diary but it is not so easy to get here.

I have also been making junk journal ephemera for swaps. This was one made out of 4 envelopes based on this video.



Recently I covered a chest with designer paper and then sold it...


Finally I am just adding a picture from our front garden which is currently covered in bottle brush...


All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!
