LPoCF #244 The Paper Shelter

 Hello again, 

We are in the midst of another heatwave for our area, I don't like the heat and is hitting earlier than usual for our area, the government have worked with private company to reopen 'Pondi' again this year equipped with a Surf Life Saving team after a father drowned last summer in the river and disused sand mine that was turned into an area for Western Sydney families to have access to a place to cool down. 

I have had a cortisone and anaesthetic injection to my ankle, not much change though... 

I am back with another new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this is the last challenge for this year and will be open until the first few days of January next year! 

This is the second card I made; I forgot that the new printer ink runs if I add liquid glitters... I have instead added clear embossing powder to 'Rudolph's nose' and some white embossing powder to the ground and snowman....

Black and Gold

 Hello again, 

Well I feel like I have finally got some of my crafting mojo back after making 25 Christmas cards in the last month, I joined in with many of the Challenges from Beccy's Place and this card is one I did not get around to finishing, one of the extra prompts was Black and White plus one, I have a 6" paper pad from Couture Creations called Be Merry and Classic which is made up of black and cream or grey and cream designs, I also bought many years ago a pack of laser cut baubles with a snow flake design on it, I found one, not sure where the remaining have disappeared too. 

I have made a 5x7inch card and cut the paper in the middle to make it fit, covering the gap with a band of paper. I also dug through my bag of ancient gold peel-off stickers to add a fancy string to the bauble and also a peel-off sentiment. 

I have used a sketch seen on Kathy's blog Dunnit Again Designs which I resized to fit. When I eventually find the rest of the baubles, I will try adding different colours behind each one.. 

What I used: -

White 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7)

black paper 

two different gold cardstocks 

Be Merry and Classic Paper pad

peel off border and sentiment

Stockings are hung

 Hello again,

Well I think this might be the last of my paper pad, all that is leftover now is 2 one inch squares and one rectangle. I traced a stocking die from when I first bought my Cuttlebug, I think it was a MFT stocking but cannot really remember onto some scrap cardstock and covered it with all the leftover bits from that paper pad. 

here are my scraps, already glued down plus the remaining three leftovers...

What I used:

White card blank 12.6x17.8cm

Couture Creations 'candy stripe' embossing folder

LilyBee Designs paper pad

Clear embossing ink 

Gold embossing powder 

Darkroom door sentiment strip Christmas 

Cottage Cuts holly and Berry die

Red, white and green card scraps
