More CAS

 Good Morning All

We are not at Craft Club today as one of my ladies is 80 next week, Pat, so we are going out for a meal to celebrate.

So here are a couple of  CAS cards I made for the charity boxes.

The first one is  JND die cuts and embossed lines on the card blank.

This is a Creative Expressions die cut and it makes a very quick effective card.

Thanks for visiting and see you Sunday.

Johns Big 70

 Good Morning All

Last week my John reached his big 70th Birthday and here is the card I made for him.

He is a big Liverpool fan, well most sports he likes, and we are going to see a Grand Prix next year too.  This is a big 8x88 card, as I didn't have to post it.  The brown texture paper behind  I was given a load of them  in different colours and thought they suited a Man card.

I did ask my Craft ladies if they would like to make him a card too as it  a big birthday and they did me proud.

Thanks to all.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Spots & Stripes is the theme of my Craft Club challenge this week and it will run for 2 weeks as we are not at Craft next Friday.

The toppers  are from  LOTV  and one of my ladies gave me a pack of papers, some striped and some spotty so I will let the ladies choose some to use.

*********************

Gifts I gave out were Choccy bars and of course,  I made boxes.

I ended up adding ribbon or bands to all of them as the magnets were near useless!!!

 Good Morning All

I had to make some quick Christmas cards for the charity boxes so I went Clean & Simple.

I cut some tall triangles from different shades and textures of green and gold  card for these two.

This one I printed the sentiment straight onto the card base and added afew gems, I think there was a little smudge!!!

Then embossed some diagonal lines.

This one has a die cut from John Next Door, one of his older sets.

This one is mounted on to red Mirri card, same as the leaping deer and Johns Snowflake emboss folder.

I will show more next week!!

******************

Here are afew pics of my views in the morning when I walk Rico.

Just as the sun is coming up, the mountains in the west look red.

Then they get lighter as the sun get up more.

This is my favourite time of day especially this week as the full moon has still been visible too.

Afew Groovi Scraps

 Good Morning All

Following on from a post last week using some of my Groovi scraps ready cut.

When I am using my die cutting machine I do try to fill the plate and then I end up with lots of pieces ready cut and they are all shoved in a box or a bag, so I thought I had better get using them.

So here  are two cards.

They are both  matted onto CE Butterflies EF.

This one I used a piece of ribbon from Crafty Ribbons UK (link in sidebar)

I do love making these butterflies and the plate must be my most used.

I'm happy with how they both turned out.

I saw this little guy the other morning, I think he was drying out from the morning dew.

MAWTT & Crafty Friends Challenges

  Good Morning All

As its the 1st of the month, it is time for  the challenges to start.

First is Crafty Friends which is

Christmas

I used some hessian as a backing which has gold stars on it.

The image is from my Junk Journal stash.

Now onto Moving Along With The Times Challenge and the theme has been chosen by Tinz

Bright on Dark

Now this was abit of a challenge for me but I went with a darker blue mat with black mesh on for the backing then chose a bird with a bright yellow breast for the topper.

I hope Tinz thinks it fits her theme OK.

I hope you will join in the challenges.
