Elisabeth Bell's World 'Hearts' Challenge

Good morning all, it is lovely to have you here today.

It is time for another challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World and this month we would like to see 'Hearts' on your creations. 

For my card I have used a retired stamp called 'Beary Hugs' which was sold by Belles 'n' Whistles until it's closure and of course created by the wonderful Elisabeth Bell. I cut the red background of hearts on my Silhouette Cameo and then placed some heart backing paper behind it too. A simple sentiment also cut on the silhouette to finish it off.

Crafty Calendar Challenges & My Time To Craft 'All Things New' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope today finds you all fit and well.

I have a short post for you today to share my card I made for the Crafty Calendar Challenge and the My Time To Craft Challenge where we are looking to see your 'All Things New' projects. As both challenges are looking for the same elements I decided to go with the one card as I am trying to get ahead due to us going off on holiday in a couple of weeks.

I used two different file to create my card today, the first was for the base shape and the white panel and then another file for the laundry line and clothes. The sentiment is a really old one I brought at a car boot sale years ago.

My Time To Craft 'Die Cuts Only' Challenge

Hello again it is lovely to be here on this lovely sunny day, it really doesn't feel like October does it?

So this week at My Time To Craft we are using 'Die Cuts Only', that means no image but of course you can use sentiments. I ended up making two cards, the first one I like but there was just something about that I didn't. I am not sure if it is because it would not lay flat and so I couldn't get a decent photograph but hey ho that is on my maybe pile lol. This was a whole card kit from the Silhouette Store designed by Daniela Angelova and went together so easily, these would be perfect for mass producing. The brown card stock has a lovely gold shimmer to it and it is a really good weight for using as a card base.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Limetree Crafts

Designer Paper - First Edition 'Silent Night'

Die Cut - 5x5 Christmas Card #67331 by Daniela Angelova

Snow - Flower Soft 'Polar White'

The second card was one I saw in the Silhouette Store and immediately thought I could have fun with that, it was designed by Alaa K. I cut is out of white card stock and then went to town with broken china distress ink. The trunk was just cut from a scrap of red card and a little bow on the top finished it off. Another card that would be quick to make in the masses and just think of the fun you could have colouring the sections in lots of colours.

Supplies:-

5x7" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy

White Card - Limetree Crafts

Red Card - Bazzill

Ink - Distress Ink by Ranger in 'Broken China'

My Time To Craft 'All About The Love' Challenge

Good evening all, well I am finally here. After getting a virus on my computer which completely wiped it out even though I have McAfee anti virus installed on it, it ended up having to go away to be repaired and took the man several times before he could get it to finally start up again. 

Anyhow here I am with my late card and gift box for this weeks challenge at My Time To Craft where the challenge is 'All About The Love'. I made this cute square card with a matching gift box. All the cut files are listed below in the supplies section. To make these I used card stock from Lidl's, some patterned paper from an old Docrafts paper pack called 'With Love', a piece of white ribbon, a couple of black pearls and a clear gem in the flower.

The card.  

 The gift box closed.

And an open view.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Lidl's

Patterned Paper - Docrafts 'With Love'

Ribbon & Clear Gem - Stash

Black Pearls - Kanban

Die Cuts - Love Birds Card #54111 by Daniela Angelova, 3d Heart Candy Box #38513 by Lori Whitlock & 3d Pop Out Petals Flower #43874 by Alaa K Studio. The sentiment I made myself using Pacifico font welded together. 

That is all for today, hopefully it won't be so long before I am back.

My Time To Craft 'Stitching' Challenge

Good morning everyone. The wind finally subsided yesterday but boy did it get colder. The sun is shining now so I hope it will remain for all of us.

This week at My Time To Craft we are being challenged to 'Use Stitching' on our creations, this can be real or faux. I am not one to normally add stitching in fact I have only ever done it once before and that was for a design team challenge and that time I actually used my sewing machine. This time however I went with the faux kind.

For my card I cut all my elements on my Silhouette Cameo and created an internal offset to each piece which I changed to a perforated line and used my glitter pens in the machine to draw instead of cutting. I added the happy birthday with the glitter pen too. I used one of my old favourite Elisabeth Bell image's which was also the first stamp I ever brought from Sugar Nellie and this brand new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder for the embossing. I didn't know how good those folders would be that turn inside out for another pattern but as you can see they emboss lovely. Not much to this card at all.

Supplies:-

6" Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Image - Sugar Nellie 'Daisy'
