Winter Scene for Christmas Card Club

 I'm rather late with my post and since it was my turn to choose the theme I feel rather guilty.  However, I do have a reason in that three weeks ago I had eye surgery and I'm still not quite up to scratch yet so crafting is a struggle but I didn't want to miss this challenge.

 Card # 1

 

 

Card # 2 

 

 

These were made using a couple of the pages from a Die Cut book from The Works called "Winter Feelings".I bought a couple of these books a few years ago and they are ideal for times like this. It was very easy to put the cards together because the elements simply pop out of the page. These books were terrific value since they contain twelve different pages for £3 meaning all you need to add is the base card.

Hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to some drier weather here in the UK.  I think we have had enough rain now.

Take care.

Bouquet of Flowers at MAWTT

 Good  morning and it's time for a new challenge at MAWTT. The theme has been chosen by Jenny and she wants to see bouquets of flowers. Who doesn't like to see flowers?

The sun is shining and looks like the start of a fine weekend.

My Card

 

This card looks quite washed but in real life it is not quite this pale.I used two small toppers from a Hunkydory pack which was a freebie I think from one of the craft shows I attended some years ago. I matted the toppers and card with silver mirrror card and diecut the Crafter's Companion butterflies from the same silver cards.

Please pop over to the blog and check out the cards made by the rest of the DT.

Take care and have a good weekend.

Male card or Gift at International Art and Soul

 Good morning.  Our new challenge at IAAS has been chosen by Jennie and she wants to see a card or gift for the male of the species. My card is for  my nephew who has a birthday later this year and he is a very good cook. The sentiment on my card will amuse him and I am well prepared for his birthday now - as long as I don't put it away and forget what I did with it.  Actually, I don't do that now since I have a box  for the cards I have made for specific people and another box for other cards.

My Card

This card is 6" x 7" so I needed to make an envelope to match. I used kraft card and cream card. i used Crafter's Companion "Hessian" embossing folder. I have the Hunkydory Book of Quotes which is where this image is from and the colour is perfect for males. The embellishments were just a few I had left over from another card and since they were suitable fro this I decided to make use of them.

Please pop across to the blog and check out the cards from my team mates.  If you are like me I always need as much inspiration for male cards as I can get.

Take care.

 

 

Humour for the Christmas Card Club

 Rachel wants to see some humour in our cards this time. We do have the option of Anything Goes but I do like the challenge of doing something that I might not normally do.

My Card

This image from Beccy's Place really makes me smile and reminds me of how often those darn Christmas tree lights become tangled.  This is a 7" square card.  The scraps of Christmas tree lights card was in my snippets box and I cannot remember where it is from. I just fussy cut the light bulbs in the corner from some clip art which I printed onto a scrap of photo paper to give it some gloss.

Take care.

 

Winged Creatures at IAAS

 Good morning.  I'm back with my DT card for IAAS. The theme of Winged Creatures was chosen by me this time.

My Card

 If you are looking for my Christmas Card Club card

 please scroll down to previous post.

 I used a Hunkydory topper, from Feathered Friends I think, and made it into a 7" card. I mounted the sentiment topper onto a pink poinsettia which now looks nothing like a poinsettia. 

Please pop over to the blog and you will see the amazing array of cards made by team mates. It's great how we have all interpreted this theme in so many different ways - which is exactly what I had hoped for.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
