Halloween Box card

 Hello again, 

I was asked to make a special card for a friends Mum who loves to celebrate Halloween, which is becoming more popular in Australia. Due to Covid restrictions her usual celebrations are on hold for this year.... 

I have used Stella Witch Society from Bugaboo Stamps to create a box card, using a digital sentiment from Create with TLC and design papers from Doodlebug Designs and a couple of die cuts cut from black card stock... The ghosts were cut from another sheet of Halloween paper from Doodlebug designs

What I used:-

Create with TLC free Halloween

Derwent Coloured pencils

Clear Wink of Stella on Stella's Hair

Dark Grey cardstock

Doodlebug Designs Patterned Papers

Purple, white and black cardstock scraps

LPoCF #132 Bugaboo Stamps

Hello again,

Well my mojo is still missing, although our garden is looking decidedly tidier for our efforts, in a few weeks time the local council will be stopping by to chip some of  our piles of pruned branches, Winter is already on the way here, freezing mornings mostly followed by pleasant days, we even have a few confused jonquils out in the garden, a little early for spring.

This week brings us to an all new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and we were each able to select an image to work with, I have used Dottie Yoga to create a card, which will most likely end up with my physio as some of what she has me doing is modified yoga. The sentiment on the card is one from Paulette of Create with TLC she is very kind and offers many of her word art for free, she also sells some online at her store TLC Creates- Vintage. We love to see all kind of crafts so come along and share your makes with us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends...

Happy Bird-day

Hello again,

Well, long time no see! I’ve had a few big trips to the city to see specialist doctors and physios leaving me exhausted for a few days after each one, the doctor has altered my diet again so now off all grains, seeds, nuts, nightshades, dairy and fermented foods, trying to see if I am reacting to natural histamines in foods along with plant proteins that I’ve been off since April.

I did find some time to make a few Christmas cards for my stash and I’m only just finding the time to blog them along with todays card, a birthday card for my niece who turned 12 late last month

featuring three of Bugaboo Stamps images– Birthday Bird 2, Birthday Bird 3 and Birthday Bird 4 which I won during their birthday celebrations last year and coloured at some point in time, found them sitting with a bunch of images I have coloured… 

I dug into my scraps box and unearthed some brightly coloured card stock pieces which worked well with the colours I had used then hit one of the Sugar ‘N’ Spice paper pads from Spotlight and found a nicely and co-ordinating striped paper, finished the card off with two orange flower brads from my stash, wink of Stella over the cupcakes, shine of the balloons and for fun on all the little birds eyelids. I backed some blue cardstock with double sided adhesive sheets and cut Happy Birthday sentiment with a Lawn Fawn die.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White C7 card blank 12.6x17.8cm or 5x7”

Orange, yellow and blue cardstock from scrap box

Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Bird 02

Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Bird 03

Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Bird 04

Derwent and Faber-Castell coloured pencils

Brads from stash
