Christmas Present

Morning all! It’s time for a brand new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Challenge Blog. As always it’s  Anything Goes, but the team are showing some creations using beautiful Paper Weaving.

For my make today I’ve used fabulous papers from Festive Hollybobs Full Download Collection to weave a square!

I’ve added a paper ribbon, bow and some foliage cut with Cherry Blossom Branch Die and I’ve turned my square into a Christmas Present. The sentiment on the little tag is also from the collection.

Supplies:

• DP: Festive Hollybobs Full Download Collection printed on White Linen Cardstock
• Card: Gold Glitter Paper, Kraft Card and White Linen Card 
• Dies & Punches: Cherry Blossom Branch Die from Polkadoodles and Bow fie from All Occasion Dies
• Sentiment: From Festive Hollybobs Full Download Collection

Happy Halloween

Evening all. We are just about to have a quick tea before we take the children out Trick or Treating. So while it finishes cooking I thought I would pop on and share my final Halloween make of the year.

This is the card I made for my partner in a card swap I take part in. The theme was either Halloween or Autumn and me being me I just had to pick Halloween. 

This card uses Sylvia Zet’s adorable Hazel image and she is also available in rubber from the Whimsy Stamps Store here:

  If you read my blog you will know that this year I really have been a little bit addicted to making Halloween Projects.

I have really made use of these digi papers from Snap Click Supply  

Supplies:

• Image: Hazel image (also available in rubber from the Whimsy Stamps Store here)
• Colouring Medium: Copics 
• DP: Fancy Pants October 31 Paper Pack 1 and Fancy Pants October 31 Paper Pack 2
• Card: Black Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Spellbinder Floral Oval Dies 
• Sentiments: From a Whiff of Joy set (retired)
• Embellishments: Pearl Trim, Cheese Cloth, Wycinanka Chipboard Heart Background, Glitter Glue and Pearls

Aurora Prayer

Evening All. Just a quick post before I head off to bed.

The routine starts again tomorrow, after what has been a relaxed half term holiday’s full of migraines, icky bugs and things. At least we have Halloween tomorrow, we managed to get our Pumpkins carved!

Anyhoo, It’s time for a new challenge at The Sketchy Challenges and this time it’s a sketch challenge designed by me:

Lucky I had made this one a while ago as I’ve not done much (if any) crafting for the last week. I’ve used Aurora Prayer from The East Wind:

I have left this one without a sentiment at the moment, but I think it would make a good ‘Thinking of You’ card.

And I’ve had a play with those lovely Maja Design Papers again!

Supplies:

• Image: Aurora Prayer from The East Wind
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: Maja Design 
• Card: Lilac Card, White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card 
• Ink: Ranger ‘Weathered Wood’ Distress Inkpad
• Dies & Punches: Spellbinder Plain and Scalloped Circles and a Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions Border Die
• Embellishments: Pearls, Lace and Doodling
