Beccy's Place: A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge - K

 

This is another make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 12th year!

This card follows the K prompt - Day 12

I have made another Upright Z-Fold card following Beccy's tutorial here


I have used the papers from Francheville Christmas paper stack and koala images from my stash - not sure of the brand.


I printed the sentiments from the computer.



I will add this to the challenge

WOYWW #808

       

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

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 #808 

Here is my desk:

The journal page on my desk easel is the one from my featured post above.

You can see one of my folders of dies with one of my favourite tree dies out...from Cutplorations.

You can also see my roll of double sided adhesive tape which I use all the time with dies.

Oh can you see Ollie who just popped in to see where I had gone?

 I have continued taking part in Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards Challenge - scroll down a few posts to see a few of my makes. 

I was quite pleased with my exploding box on Saturday.




Happy WOYWW and Happy Crafting!

Addicted to Stamps and More - Christmas Challenge #482


     

Here's my Christmas project...for the Challenge #482 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I made this card base using my Cricut, some of the stars are drawn with a black pen, the rest and the tree are cut out. I placed a piece of holographic card behind this

I then added the printed image from Beccy's Place, and sticker sentiment (Tim Holtz).



Inside I added a sentiment from the same Beccy's Place set.


 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!



I will also add this to 

    

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

This card follows the E prompt - Day 13

L is for LIGHT Blue - not a typical colour for a Christmas card - and StarLIGHT from the holographic paper behind the cut out.

I will add this to that challenge


Happy Crafting!

Beccy's Place: A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge - W

  

This is another make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 12th year!

This card follows the W prompt - Day 26

I decided to play with white on white using both my Cricut to make the large snowflake opening, and my Big Shot to make the tree die cuts.

I found this card rather difficult to photograph!




I have added some snowflake embellishments.



I will add this to the challenge

Happy Crafting!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - New Term #14

 


This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

 I have used a page in my Art by Marlene 'perfect size' journal and images from Michelle Grant's Full Circle sold by Bee Arty.

For my Collage papers I used several wallpapers including ones from Michelle's Brave printed on copy paper.


Layer 1

Lots of pieces of collage followed by white Gesso and with drips of ink.

Layer 2

Next I used a black paint pen to add rough circles and an edging.


Layer 3

White circles stamped with a tube and white acrylic.


Layer 4

I then added the sentiment and pieces from Full Circle leaving them in black and white.
I stamped over this with a Dark Room Door stamp and then splattered with Sky gloss spray.


Happy Crafting!
