Beccy's Place 'Month of Holiday Cards Challenge' Day 14 - Case Yourself

    This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 14th year!

Again I am late to the party -  it is now day 14!

 However I will catch up!!

This card follows the prompt Case Yourself - Day 14

In January of this year I made this card


Find the blog post here

This is one of my favourite folds and I have used it lots. Find the instructions here 

This is my version for today:


The top part is made from a piece of card 3 by 8 scored at 5.75 inches.
The base is 4 by 12 scored at 4.5, 9, 10.5 inches. I used another blue card.
I added matting layers of silver and a paper from Stamperia White Christmas by Cristina Radovan.


I then added a die cut using a Tattered Lace die
 with a little embellishment from 49&Market Evergreen - I received a whole packet of this as a prize.

I will add this to the challenge

Happy Crafting!

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 14th year!

Again I am late to the party -  it is already day 13 and L!!

I thought of the challenge in October but then it slipped my mind - however I will catch up!!

This card follows the prompt B is for - Day 2

B is for banners using a banner or bookmark die.


I started with a white card blank matted with a Christmas paper. On this I placed a frame.
I added lots of banners cut from scraps of Christmas papers and embellishments (upcycled tags). I am not sure I like the gold banner at the end...
I made this card at a U3A card making class. I was interested to see the idea of using the embellishments from tags bought in a 'cheap shop'.


I will add this to the challenge

WOYWW #910

           

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#910

Here is my desk today:




My craft room still looks as though a bomb has hit it... I have sorted out a few things but there's still a long way to go! Maybe I will show a little more next week...

On the front you can see my Trovember so far- a collage made by adding one item all the way through November. I am adding a blog post about this every 7 days. I have worked out that each prompt arrives at 6am my time the next day...


I finished another workshop from the virtual retreat - this time by Annette Gearside.
The attached rectangle is a 'journaling booklet'.


 Remember the workshop I shared last week by Amanda Branston?


I used the same technique to decorate the charity box I was painting last week.



And also to make some Christmas cards:


Melbourne is famous for its coffee... we always have fun deciding on the images on their surfaces:



Can you see anything in these?


Sending hugs to all connected to WOYWW. Hopefully I will get around you all this week!
