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'

Ribbon - Odds Box

Sentiment - Jayne Nestorenko

Die Cut - Christmas Tree Card #22951 by Alaa' K.

How are you liking the blog hop? I'm sure you have been wowed already and there is still lots to come so I will get on with my card I made.

As soon as I saw this card in the Silhouette Store I knew I wanted it but wasn't sure who or what I would use it for but I brought it. So I decided I would make it for this hop but leave it sentiment less as I think it is a many occasions card so will add it when the time arises. The teal blue and mustard card both colours that are in the design paper but they don't show so well in the photo but they really do look nice.

Card Stock - Bazzill & Lidl

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 'Embossing' Challenge

Good morning everyone, if you are looking for the Crafty Calendar Challenge post you will find it below this one.

It's Saturday so that mean's it's time for a new challenge at My Time To Craft and we have gone really easy on you this week and chosen 'Embossing'. This can be either dry embossing or if you are feeling adventurous you can go for wet/heat embossing.

I have two cards for you today, the first I made as I couldn't resist the challenge over at Cameo Creations which is 'St Patrick's With Bling'. Now as some of you may know I got married on St Patrick's day 18 years ago this March 17th and I think I was very lucky to have done this and used that as my inspiration for the card.

I used various cuts from the Silhouette Cameo site and the 'Hearts' embossing folder from Craft Creations which is a little hard to see in the photo. 

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cuts - Clover Card - Daniela Angelova, Lucky Banner - Kolette Hall & 5 Banner Set - Lori Whitlock

Embossing - Craft Creations 'Hearts'

Sentiment - Crafty Sentiments

Gems - Dovecraft

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

Cameo Creations - St Patrick's With Bling

Southern Girls - Pennants or Banners

Cardz TV - Luck Of The Irish

My second card has been made for my eldest son's birthday on Monday, as you can probably tell he is mad on football and has always followed Tottenham Hotspurs.

I cut the football card die cut from the Cameo store and then traced the cockerel mascot myself using SCAL3. I am really pleased with how well it came out. I used the colours of the team for the elements. I embossed the base layer of the football with Cuttlebug's swiss dots.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Sentiment - Teddy Bo

Embossing - Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots'

Die Cut - Soccer Card - 'Snapdragon Snippets' & Banner - 'SCAL3'
