Sentiments

 Good Morning All

Afew cards today with Sentiment as the focal point.

All quite simple and easy, great for filling the charity boxes.

I love this die cut, very delicate. It comes in two pieces.

Not as keen on this diecut, more for men cards I think.

Love this one too, again in two pieces.

What do you think??

Thinking Of You

 Good Morning All

A couple of stencilled cards today.  These two are picture stencils, by that I mean they are the main focus of the card, not a background.

Both fairly simply cards as they are both sympathy cards.

I am getting more into using my stencils and inks and enjoying it which is the main thing.

MTTC - Stencils

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is

Stencilling

I used one of my favourites, a sunburst.

I used my Oxides in bright, sunny colours.

Stamped the sentiment in the centre and then added a swirly leaf stamp too.  A couple of punched flowers to hide  afew splodges !!!

And some raindrop gems for interest.

Very happy with this one, I do love this stencil.

Paper strips

 Good Morning All

I had so much fun afew weeks ago using strips of paper as backing for cards so I made a load more.

All I had to do was add a sentiment, some of which I heat embossed or just stamped.  On a couple I added some parchment flowers.

Some more to add to the charity boxes.

Thanks for visiting.

Good Morning All

We had our Craft Club on Friday and it was the last one until the end of August as the shop closes for their holiday.

We will keep in tough via Whats App as I have a group on there  where we all post and chat.  We are going out for an Indian meal too on the 25th.

Anyway, back to the challenge, which I shall keep going through the break.

This is a sketch challenge, (see below)

I had this inky paper, that I had made, in my stash in the perfect colour that I needed.

I love this Birthday die but the silver Mirri card had a few lines on it, so I scratched afew more to make it look as if they belonged!!!!

Sketch to follow

The gifts I gave out were a mixed bag from previous weeks.

For last weeks challenge there was only afew entries as people are away or moving.

The challenge was

Lots of Squares

Happy Birthday Hollie

 Good Morning All

Today I am showing  the Birthday card I made for Hollie.

Her Birthday was Monday and I cant believe she is 11 years old now and going to secondary school in September.

This is her with Rico on their recent visit here

This is a die I bought at local craft shop, its a Tonic die, ex demo.

I thought 'Reach for the Stars' was apt with her going to big school!

MAWTT Embossing

 Good Morning All

The theme for the challenge over at Moving Along With The Times this month is

Embossing Wet or Dry

I went with dry and used the folder from JND that came in one of his magazines.

Its such a pretty folder I didn't need to add much other than afew pearls in the flower centres.

I stamped the sentiment in the middle and matted onto pale lilac card.

It was only when I was doing this post and adding to the MAWTT blog I realised I had used the same EF as last month so I made another card.

This EF is from Creative Expressions called Art Deco Fanfare.

I added a Poppet from Clarity matted onto gridwork parchment.

I do like using Emboss folders with pearlised card, I think it stands out better.
