My Time To Craft 'Cute & Cuddly Christmas Animals' Challenge

Good morning all how are you all? I hope you are all safe and not suffered any severe damage from the amount of water that has rose inland along the East coast of England.

So as today is Saturday it is time for another challenge at My Time To Craft and this week we are challenging you to 'Cute & Cuddly Christmas Animals', there are hundreds of possible images so please join us.

For my card today I have dug out a really old paper pack from Dovecraft called 'Tis The Season' (in fact it is so old I cannot find a link for it lol) and used just one sheet of it, I added an embossed panel using the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder, then the die cut string of lights which I added glossy accents to for some shine and then of course this really adorable image that was a freebie from Whimsy Stamps some time ago. I haven't added a sentiment yet as I am not sure who it will be for. Glamour Dust was added to the hat trim and bobble.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Papers - Dovercraft 'Tis The Season' 

Image - Whimsy Stamps 'Santa's Puppy

Okay onto my project for today where I made two things. Firstly I needed a gift box for one of the presents I have brought for one of my grandchildren and went with this Santa's Chimney Box. I made it at the size it came in the file and it is a really good size, it measures 4" square and about 3.5" tall.



Here it is closed





 Here it is open without the lid.



 Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cuts - 3d Chimney Box #51814 - Snapdragon Snippets



For my second project I just couldn't resist making this lantern. It can be used as a box or as a lantern as I have it. I am not sure where I will go it yet but as the colours go with my lounge and it might end up there. I added a battery lamp, some gems and liquid pearls to the outside. The acetate does have snowdrops on it but as most were covered by the snowflakes I added some with liquid pearls. I added this bow as an after thought but not sure I like it so may take it off.



This is the front which I tried to take in the dark to show the lamp glowing but my flash keeps going off even when not turned on!





 This is a side view which doesn't show it at it's best lol.



Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cuts - 3d Decorative Snowflake Lantern Box #51738 Jamie Cripps

Gems - Boyes

Acetate - Let's Create

Liquid Pearls - Natalie & Amy's

My Time To Craft 'Sketch' Challenge

Good morning again, it is a busy day here today. If you are looking for the 'Tis The Season Blog Hop' it will follow this post at 1pm.

Okay onto this post which is all about this weeks My Time To Craft challenge where there is a sketch to follow. You can find the sketch HERE on the main challenge blog. For my card I did something completely different for me. I used this large old wooden stamp that I brought for 20p at a car boot sale and have no idea who made it except that it has the original cost of £10.50 on it, I definitely got a bargain. I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then I used Ranger Distress Ink to colour over it as I didn't like the image when I coloured it in with pens. I have used an 8" square card blank and then added papers and elements from the Kaisercraft 'Tis The Season' 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 stacks. 

Supplies:-

8" Square Card Blank - Ebay

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Papers - Kaisercraft 'Tis The Season' 12" & 6"

Image - Unkown

Ink - Memento Cocoa & Distress Ink Vintage Photo

Card Candy - Gift

That's all from me for now I will be back later with the blog hop post.
Have a lovely weekend all.

My Time To Craft 'Special Christmas' Challenge

Good morning all how are you all today? Boy it has turned cold this afternoon really wintery, I am wondering if this horrible snow they have been talking about is on it's way I sure hope not.

Really sorry my post is late today but I have a good excuse my daughter had her baby on Wednesday 8 days early and so we took off early on Thursday to go se them. Baby Mia Rose Alger weighed a healthy 6lbs 15 and a half ozs and both mum and her are doing really well and here is a photo off her the day she was born in her dad's arms. 

Ok now that I have done the proud nanny bit onto the matter in hand where our challenge at My Time To Craft is 'Special Christmas'. I am sharing a card today that I actually made last Christmas for a customer and have never shared (well not that I can see anyway lol). I used a Kanban topper which I decoupaged up, then placed on some mirri card with a computer generated sentiment. I added this ribbon which I lurrrrve along with a charm on some twine.

Supplies:-

8" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Mirri Card - Local Hardware Shop

Ribbon, Twine & Charm - Lets Create

Sentiment - My Computer using customer's words.

That's all from me today, I will be back next Saturday with another project for My Time To Craft, a project for Natalie & Amy's plus a project for the 'Tis The Season' blog hop I am taking part in. Talk about buses all coming along at once it looks like craft projects do to lol. 

Have a lovely week all.
