LOTV Papers

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards from my files.

My beloved LOTV topper of the little boy playing his comuter game and the other using scraps of parchment.

The backings are all LOTV paper pads and offcuts of same papers.

I still get a great buzz using my scraps, do you???

Mixed Coloured Florals for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time  is

Mixed Coloured Florals

I pulled 2 pieces of  Floral paper from an LOTV  pad and cut  a shape using a die Frames & Tags  -  Maggie by Sue Wilson.I used the white background paper for the Mat and the Pink background one under the trellis circle.

The Pink mat at the back is cream card inked with Pickled Raspberry Oxide ink and used the same brush to ink the edges of the diecut too.

To use the papers as they were from an 8x8 pad, I made another card.

White paper at the top and Pink at the bottom and hid the join with the same grosgrain ribbon as I used on the other card.

I added stickles to both butterflies.

I really must use my dies more, I enjoyed making these two cards using some.

JND Trellis die

 Good Morning All

Happy St. Valentines Day.

I have two smaller cards to show you today, abit too small, 5x5, but they will go into one of the boxes I make for charity raffle prizes.

I have alot of dies and decided I really should start using them more.

This one is so pretty from John (JND), I love anything Trellis.

Its a small die, about 4" square, so great for this size of card blank.

The paper is from an LOTV pad.

The sentiment is a die cut too.

This one I'm not as keen on.  Paper was in my stash and I used a peeloff for the sentiment.

Both of these cards would fit my Craft Group challenge too, I put it on my Facebook page too Here.

The paper is from an LOTV pad too.

Happy Sunday and Challenge

Good Morning All

Happy Sunday to you all.

Masks are now mandatory in our region from yesterday, meaning they must be worn at all times outside the house or bar/restaurant.

*****

My challenge for the Craft Club this week was Tic Tac To.

I used Square White and Lace from the chart below.

I think the digi is from Right Said Fred (I dont think they are still in business producing digis though)

The paper is Country Meadow from LOTV

The blue ribbon is from this stack that a lady left at the craft shop for us all to use.

All the ladies took what  they wanted and I brought the rest home and hung on  piece of card which I punched holes in to thread the ribbon through.  On hand all the time now.

*******

The gifts I gave out were Murray Mints  in boxes I made and tied with ribbon and a charm.

Men or Boys for Craft Rocket

Good Morning All

Craft Rocket challenge this time is

Men / Boys

Now I think most of us find these type of cards harder to make, or at least not quite as enjoyable.

I know I do.

I cut a piece of paper from LOTV 'Father Knows Best' pad and cut a slit in the top corner to hold the LOTV topper.

I added some buttons from Crafty Ribbons

A charm with 'Dream written on it, tied with seam binding from Crafty Ribbons

Happy Crafting
