CHNC challenge 597 for 4 June 2022 - non-traditional Christmas colours

 A new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'non-traditional Christmas colours'.

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

For my next few cards I have used a page of images from 

Gecko Galz Retro Christmas Colour Collage.

I printed the image and cut out each picture, placing it on black card.

I added these to a cream card base and added a few pink flower embellishments.

Happy Crafting!

12 Months of Christmas June 2022 Challenge #89. Plaid.

    

This is my DT make for the October Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Plaid"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Here is my card:

I have used a paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles Multi Coloured Plaids

and blueberry from Candy Cane Flavours

I started with a white card blank and matted it with the first paper.

I used the second paper to punch the boat shapes (Stampin' Up punch).

I printed the words to the sentiment on the computer and trimmed them.

Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #678

        

Wednesday again, so I am linking to the Stamping Ground. 

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 #678

June 1st - the first day of Winter here in Australia - and certainly it is cold enough! The max temp today was 14 degrees. My temperature blanket has gone blue. Not long before I will have finished the first half... the plan is to do two halves and then crochet them together...(maybe)!

First of all I am going to share some happy mail  - these are what have arrived so far!!

from Caro         and            from Jan

Thank you!!

This is my workdesk today: 

Again this is the work surface in the utility room - I am playing with my Gelli plates. I recently saw the tip of having a second Gelli plate alongside to brayer off extra paint and then use this for more pulls.

I made a variety of backgrounds - pages, index cards, junk journal cardboards...

I started making a few index card backgrounds as I thought I would join in with the ICAD challenge again - it starts today...

I thought I might use the prompts to start off with - maybe - anyway I may have the first week's set to show you next week.

I went to see the house earlier - still not got a completion date, but it is coming on... I think that is a plumber... 

It was actually pouring with rain - so I also got a rainbow picture!

Are you doing Jubilee craft? I was just chatting to my brother on Whatsapp. He is doing window decorations for their street party. 

Finally - I was just looking at my Facebook memories - this is from 5 years ago today, at Bodnant Garden...

Anyway, all for now - see you next week...

Happy WOYWW!

Patterned Paper Challenge June 2022

 

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of

 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper

Just a simple card today...

I started with a cream card base and matted it with a layer of Stampin' Up paper - I then added a strip of another paper and then the die cut. I used a black fineliner to add lines around the rectangles. Finally I added the sticker sentiment - from Art By Marlene.

Hope you will join in with the Patterned Paper challenge!

Happy Crafting!
