LeighSBDesigns Christmas in July Blog Hop #20

        

Once again LeighSBDesigns is hosting a blog hop.

 

This time it is to celebrate CHRISTMAS in JULY

If you read my last post I am sure you want to know what happened

 to the base of the other index card...

I had used a Tattered Lace embossing Folder with rustic wilderness Distress Oxide smeared through it. After adding a piece of white card and running it through my Big Shot, I had enough background to make two index cards, matted on green card.

I decided to make the first one with a focus of a sentiment.

My second one used Santa Sandy Oddleigh, coloured with markers and cut out.

Once I had glued this in position, I added silver sparkle to the hat and bottom of the outfit.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky. 

Happy Holidays!

LeighSBDesigns Christmas in July Blog Hop #19

         

Once again LeighSBDesigns is hosting a blog hop.

 

This time it is to celebrate CHRISTMAS in JULY

I am still making ICADs (Index Card A Day, over June and July) and I am adding a couple to this post...sometimes I have to catch up and make three!

A couple of days ago I joined in with a Zoom Craft and Chat with the UK Stampers Network. Mickey was demonstrating a technique which I tried some time later - these days it is too early to take part at the actual time, with the current time difference - I am usually still in my dressing gown!

The process was to cut a wobbly mask from a piece of acetate and then use it to make a shape using Distress Oxides - blended with brushes.

I then added a chipboard made by layering up diecuts.

I then added splatter using white gloss spray.

I made the create index card but also used a version to add to my mixed media calendar page for September - I am trying to get a little ahead. Last year I was making pages half way through the month...

My next index card is celebrating Christmas in July.

I used a Tattered Lace embossing Folder with rustic wilderness Distress Oxide smeared through it. After adding a piece of white card and running it through my Big Shot, I had enough background to make two index cards, matted on green card.

I decided to make the first one with a focus of a sentiment (like create above).

I printed the sentiment from Santa Sandy Oddleigh, trimmed it and placed it on green card.

I added silver sparkle to the spaces in the letters.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky.

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 552 for 24 July 2021 - Add ribbon

 A new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'add some ribbon'

Do pop over and see the fabulous inspiration from my teamies!

If you enter you could win a prize... 

Every week a prize is given to a randomly chosen winner...

This is the end of my mini-album using instructions courtesy of

Hillbilly Scrappin'

It is made from black cardstock and chipboard matted with papers from

 Graphic 45 Christmas Time Collection.

Inside it is basically a concertina of card with 5 pockets inserted in each fold.

I have then made tags to go inside each pocket. This is the final one...

The pockets are quite small so the black card on which I worked was just 10cm tall by 9.5 cm wide.

I chose the image as it involves a ribbon.

This is the reverse of last week's tag...

 

Recipe:

1. Black rectangle of card. 

2. The image is Holiday Bells from klm designs. This is painted with shimmery watercolours and cut out.

3. Ribbon added through punched hole.

  I will add this to LeighSBDesigns blog hop CHRISTMAS in JULY

Hope you will join in with

CHNC

 Challenge 552

And finally here is my video of the finished album:

Happy Crafting!

LeighSBDesigns Christmas in July Blog Hop #14

         

Once again LeighSBDesigns is hosting a blog hop.

 

This time it is to celebrate CHRISTMAS in JULY

First of all I would like to re-share this make from last year.

This card is from last year's LeighSB's Christmas in July.

The image is Leigh's Lizard Boy Elf .

Next I am sharing a little more of my mini album. This has dimensions 13cm by 12cm and 4cm deep. I have used papers from the Graphic 45 pad and chipboards from a matching set.

I shared this tag on Monday.

Today I have the other side:

This time I have used Oddleigh Snowflake Elf, coloured with markers. I added a small piece of the paper on a dimensional in place of the snowflake.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky. 

Happy Crafting!
