Crafty Calendar 'Anything Goes' & My Time To Craft 'Banners & Bunting' Challenge

Good morning all, yet another cold day here so glad to be staying in.

It is time for another challenge at both My Time To Craft & Crafty Calendar, My Time's challenge is 'Buntings or Banners' and Crafty Calendar's is 'Anything Goes' so I decided to tie the two together. 

Crafty Calendar are being sponsored by A Random Fan who gave us a couple of cute image's to play with as well as a prize for you.

I chose to use 'Winter Kiss' on my card today. The bunting/banner was cut on my Silhouette machine as was the sentiment and the image with mat layer. After putting these items together  thought the card was a little bare so decided to add the rhinestone gems.

Silhouette Challenges #21 "3d Item For Craft Room"

Good Morning!

It's time for another challenge over at Silhouette Challenges. This month is
(3D Item for your Craft Room).

ADD YOUR INFO AND PIC HERE

Now onto the Challenge Info. 

Ch# 21 "3D item for your Craft Room"

Begins: Sunday, Feb 1

Ends: Saturday, Feb 28

A blog dedicated to the Silhouette Cutting Machines.

You MUST use a Silhouette somehow in your project.

So onto my project or projects I should say, a lot of you will know that I have been making things for my craft room all from just one stack of paper pad so I continued the theme.

Firstly I made this handy little box to store my sketch pens in, I actually need to make another one as I have more pens than this one holds. So I used a file by Jamie Cripps #46244 3d Sketch Pen Holder in the Silhouette Store.

Here are a couple of views to show just how little room it takes up. Excuse the wonky letters I did fix them after seeing the photo.

Next I made this 3d Ribbon Holder Cards & Box #45600 by Jamie Cripps also from the Silhouette Store. My intention with this was to make one box for each colour family in the hope that I could just take out a box and perhaps get through my never ending supply of ribbon BUT as you will see in the next photo I quite simply have too much ribbon.

This is just one of my drawers of ribbon I still have those odd rolls in this drawer to change to the card system plus another whole drawer to sort through.

What I did do using my Promarkers & Flexmarkers was to colour the top of the cards with the pen that matched the ribbon, as this is what takes me the longest to decide and then I get fed up and put them away again lol. 

Whilst sorting my ribbons I also decided to make these Bakers Twine Bobbins #60905 by Sweet Afton. I cut them in a heavy 300gsm white card stock first and then in a colour similar to them and then stuck these together, this gave them strength. I did this so that I could easily see which I wanted to use but could write on the back the colour name and manufacturer. At the moment I have them on this piece of cord while I am awaiting my lovely hubby to retrieve me a large book ring from the garage which is currently iced up with a heap of snow in front of it.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill & Limetree Crafts

Designer Paper - Colour Box from years ago.

Die Cuts - As shown with each photo.

My Time To Craft 'Bugs & Insects' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope you are all well and keeping warm during this cold spell we all seem to be having.

So today see's the start of a new challenge over at My Time To Craft and this week we are all about 'Bugs & Insects' BUT they have to be part of the main image on your creation.

I was stumped for what to make this week as I didn't have any images that had the main part as a bug or insect so in desperation I turned to my Silhouette to see what I could come up with. I love this little bumble bee I used, it looks way too cute for a bee lol. I added Black Enamel Accents from Ranger to all the black parts to give them some sheen and then added Stickles to the wings. I background was another cut from the Silhouette Store as were the hearts with the lettering drawn instead of cut. 

I am giving this card to my granddaughter Sophie who is 8 as she said she has to have a card for her boyfriend because that means no one else will be able to kiss him! You have got to laugh at them, haven't you.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cuts - Honeycomb Screen #56062 by Jennifer Wambach, Happy Bumble Bee #39896 by PPbN Designs & The Heart Just A Basic Shape.

Natalie & Amy's 'All About Love' Challenge

Good morning all.

Wow it is so so cold here, we had snow but it didn't settle as we had had rain through the night but I know a lot of you have it far far worse weather so stay warm and safe.

Anyhow onto the matter in hand, this month at Natalie & Amy's Challenge it is 'All About Love' so could be valentines, wedding, anniversary etc.

For my card today I used this adorable panda from Crafter's Companion called 'Party Paws - Love From Bamboo', the sentiment came from the same set. I decided on a scalloped 6" square card for this image and kept the papers to a minimum (really I was using my scraps lol). I coloured my image with a bit of a scruffy style to give him a ragged look and then added glossy accents to the heart and it really does shine but I cannot get it to show up on the photo's. All supplies are listed below with those in RED available in Natalie & Amy's Store HERE.

Elisabeth Bell Guest DT Card

Good morning all, today I have another card for you featuring one of the lovely Elisabeth Bell's Digital Images.

I decided to go all summery with this one and this image just reminds me of my daughter and my niece who are the same age all but 5 months between them. They were inseparable as young children and would always want an outfit the other had, to the point that my sister in law and I would buy two of something if it was for either of them lol. As a family we always holidayed together right up until our children were teenagers and would constantly get the 'are they twins' questions.

So I went Elisabeth Bell's 'Little Friends' image which can be found HERE and tied it together with nice pastel colours and a summer sentiment. Printed the image on my new laser printer and then cut out on my cameo, along with the sentiment. The papers are from the Papermania Spots & Stripes Pastel Collection.
