Fancy Fold Card for Christmas Card Club

 Good morning. It's time for another card for our club and this time I chose the theme which is to show a fancy fold card.

My Card 1

 

I have made a bridge  card but put a full sheet of acetate at the front give it strength which then made it into more of a diorama card. When folded down it measures 8" x 6". I used paper pad from The Works called "Snowy Christmas" which I bought last year.

Card 2

 

I made a 7" easel card using papers from the same pad and added some JND snowflakes

I thought  I was going to be unable to post because on Thursday my computer was attacked by a virus which added a trojan and has completed wiped out my computer!! I cannot even open it. Luckily I still have my very old Windows 7 computer from when I upgraded to Windows 10 with a new computer. John has set it up again for me this morning so I can use Blogger, gmail etc at least. He has removed the hard disc from my machine and has been working on it for the past couple of days but it appears to be kaput. Sadly I have not saved the last couple of years work to my external hard disc so I have lost all my photos, pictures, digi images etc.  Please, please do  be sure to save your work on a regular basis to an external source. Luckily all my documents were saved elsewhere - initially I was in a real panic because I am secretary of our WI and have masses of stuff on my computer!!

Hope you are well  and having a better time than me!!😀😄 

Love and hugs

Red, White and Blue at IAAS

 Good morning. Here is the next challenge at IAAS and it is to show red, white and blue.

My Card

 

This is a 7"x5" red card base.I used a die set from Crafts Too  Background Collection called Apollo. I used Prim Poppy from Memory Box and the sentiment dies is from Sue Wilson. Why not pop over to the blog and see what the rest of the DT have made?

Take care and have a good day.

 

Anything Christmas Goes at the 12Moc LinkUp

 Time for another challenge at the the !2 MoC LinkUp We are always Anything Goes - providing it is Christmas! We usually have a twist if you want to follow it but this month it is purely Anything Goes.

My Card

 

I decided to go with black and white. I embossed the background layer with a snowflake e/f. The central snowflake is stamped and embossed onto black card and then diecut with Spellbinders dies. The other two snowflakes are from Spellbinders Create A Flake dies - all very old dies.

Why not pop over to the blog and see what the Sleigh Belles team have made for this challenge - and then revisit on the 15th of the month to check out the offerings from the Merry Maidens?

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Inky Background at MAWTT

Good morning. It's time for a new challenge here at Moving Along With The Times. The challenge is to make an inky background.

My Card

I used a 6" square card base and an embossing folder from Crafter's Companion to emboss the front of the card. I used a stencil that I've had for a number of years but it has rarely seen ink.After stencilling I diecut it with Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities - very old dies. 

 

Why not pop over to the blog and check out the work from the rest of the DT?

 

Enjoy your day.

 

Santa's Sleigh at Christmas Card Club

 Good morning and here I am with a couple of cards for our Christmas Card Club. Kate is hosting the challenge this time and would like to see Santa's Sleigh.  We always have the option to use Anything Goes if we don't have anything suitable for the current challenge. However, Anything Goes doesn't really suit me - I find I procrastinate too much and can never make my mind up!

Card # 1

Card # 2

 

Two quite simple cards but they fit the brief.  

I hope this finds you all well.

Four Legged Friends for IAAS

 Good morning. It's time for another challenge at International Art and Soul  the theme of which is "Four Legged Friends" and hosted by Jane.

My Card

A very simple card but with a sweet image. Who could resist these sweet little kittens? I'm a dog lover rather than cats but kittens are gorgeous. Unfortunately my husband has asthma and as soon as gets anywhere near felines it sets it off.

Why not pop across to the blog and see the cards from my team mates?

Enjoy the rest of your day and hope it is a good one.

 

Let it Snow for Christmas Card Club

 Time once again for our Christmas Card Club to show our cards and the theme is "Let it Snow" chosen by Rachel. These two weeks pass so quickly.

I hope this finds you all well.

My Card

I printed an image from my Card Factory Deluxe programme and put it into the inside of a 6" square base card. I then die cut a square aperture from the front using SB Classic Squares Large  and added some Snowstorm Acetate from my stash. I added red poinsettias in the corners with leaves from the Leaf Flourish Strip, which I think is a Britannia die.  I stamped the snowflakes around the borders from Hero Arts "Fluttering Snowflakes" with Versamark and embossed with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder. The "Let It Snow" wording I found in my box of die cuts and I have a feeling it is from Brittania dies too.

Card #2

 

This is a 6" square base card matted with red card  and patterned paper from LOTV. The sheep is from a recycled Christmas card a few years ago but it makes me smile. A few diecut snowflakes and a Sue Wilson sentiment  and job done.

Take care and enjoy your day.
