LPoCF #62 Sasayaki Glitter


Hello again,
Today brings us to another brand new challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friendsand as always the challenge is Anything Goes, so come along and join in with whatever you have been working on, we have two lovely sponsors this fortnight Bugaboo Stamps and Sasayaki Glitter offering a prize to two lucky winners.
Prize 4 images of your choice from the store


Prize 1 image of your choice from the store

Don’t forget to stop by my team mates blogs to check out some more fabulous inspirational projects.
I am using an image provided by Sasayaki Glitter called Balloon Hedgehog, I grabbed a cut piece of stripy paper and coloured my image with a focus on those colours (or so I thought ;-)) Colouring in front of the TV I made one small mistake with the colours, one balloon is far more red than pink…. I grabbed some snippets from my overflowing box and made up a simple background with blue and green cutting out the various elements and adding them on popping the main image up on foam tape. A layer of some pink card also from the snippets box and a file tab cut from a snippet of white for the sentiment.
Here is my card:-


What I used:-
White 10.5 x 14.8cm card blank
Scrap papers from my stash
MFT Stitched rectangle die
CCD File tab die
Penny Black Snippets Sentiment stamp
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Black Liquid Enamel
Faber-Castell coloured pencils
Adhesives:- PVA glue, foam tape and Double-sided tape

Bugaboo Christmas in July Final Day

Hello again,

Well today brings us to the seventh and final day of this years Christmas in July Celebration and fun Challenges over at Bugaboo’s Catch theBug Blog. Today brings us to Freebie Friday and a Colour Challenge which you can see below.



When I first saw the Fuchsia picture and the colours selected from it I was a little concerned about my paper choices, but in the middle of the night I remembered that I have some Doodlebug Design Papers that came with a 100 sheet block which would fit the colours nicely, mixed in with another paper pack from Doodlebug Designs I bought more recently.

I coloured parts of the image twice so I could layer up Rudolph’s shirt and the top two presents on some foam adhesive, I also added some Diamond glaze to his nose, eyes and antlers… I could have sworn I had some gold stickles for his antlers… never mind it looks fine with the glaze and silver frame…

Here is my card:-



What I used:-
White 5”x7” card blank
Faber-Castell Pencils
Amethyst (AC) cardstock
Doodlebug Design Papers ‘Holiday Trimmings’
Doodlebug Design Papers ‘Christmas pack’
Silver glitter cardstock
Fiskars Scalloped border punch
MFT Stitched oval Scallop Frame
MFT Gift tag greeting Stamps
Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
Darice Bakers Twine
Francheville glittered enamel dots
Purple gel ink pen
Clear sequins from stash
Diamond Glaze
Adhesives:- Diamond Glaze, Double-sided tape & sheet, foam tape
Stanley knife, steel rule & cutting mat, fine point scissors

I would like to enter this card in:-
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge Inspired by a song (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Hippity Hoppity...

Hello again,

I’m joining in with the second challenge of MHK Designs, which ends in a couple of days. This month Mynn gave us another inspiration board featuring a gorgeously coloured bird and the colours from his plumage, with the option of Anything goes with MHK Designs. I have mixed and matched, using colours similar to the challenge board and using an image from MHK Designs to create an Easter pouch for my niece, she lives interstate and sending chocolate eggs is a no go in the heat. 


When my niece visited early this year she told me about some special jelly beans which you basically dare people to eat. There is no other explanation for them, yuck comes to mind when you read the flavours in the pack, it even has a Caution warning on the pack! They look identical but could be e.g. Chocolate Pudding or Canned Dog food, Buttered Pop-corn or Rotten Egg, I'm sure you get the idea. GROSS!!!!

I made a sachet to hold the bag of beans using 15cm wide piece of card stock and my scoring board to create the folds. I took the tips of the fold over top off with my Fiskars corner rounder and have used some adhesive Velcro to close it up. 

I created a little scene using Mynn’s Digi set called BunnyLove which I was lucky to win during the last blog-hop, the little bunny I used is so cute, I've altered him a little switching his single Lily for a small bouquet of punched flowers.

Here’s my sachet:-



What I used:-
Cascade Card stock American Crafts
Martha Stewart Scoring board
Fiskars Corner Rounder
Faber-Castell Pencils
Memory box Flying Birds Die
MFT Wood Grain Fence Die
MFT Fresh cut grass Die
Joy Crafts Clouds Die
Cuttlebug
Multi pack mini punch set:- Flower
Carl Crafts Egg Punch
Scrap papers and card
Kindy Glitz ‘Lilac’
Glitzee ‘Silver’
Adhesives:- PVA Glue, Foam tape, Xryon create a sticker

‘Fussy cutting’ scissors 

I would like to enter this craft in

Please Define Good

Hello again,

Today I decided to join in the lovely ladies of From the Heart Stamps weekly sketch with a twist, which you can see below, the lovely design team has created a wonderful variety of cards for our inspiration, which you can see over at the From the Heart Stamps blog.



On the weather front, I am still wearing little more than a singlet and pair of shorts around the house, I have drunk a copious amount of water today, the washing dried in under 1.5 hours and smelt like freshly ironed clothes as it came off the line. Today we had a 36C day about 97F, I’m looking forward to the near normal summer temperature tomorrow of 25C and Saturday’s 19C will be wonderful (I am a true cool climate girl), but our summer is planning on continuing rising back up to 30C early next week. Any one got a spare bucket or two of snow they’d like to share.

One bonus of the heat wave is that nothing takes too long to dry, including the PVA glue with a load of glitter tipped on top!

Here’s my card:-



What I used:-
White 5x7” card blank (12.7 x 17.8cm)
White card stock (printing)
Kraft Card
Derwent & Faber-Castell Pencils
Red card stock from stash
Doodlebug Design Papers 1998 Merry Argyle
Doodlebug Design North Pole scraps
Clear iridescent sequins
White glitter
Twine and Sheer Ribbon
Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Rectangle Dies
Lawn Fawn Stitched Label Die
MFT Stitched circle dies
MFT sentiment Strips
Sentiments from Pink Petticoat (now closed) and TLC Creations
Adhesives:- Double-sided tape, PVA glue, sticky dots, Foam tape

I would like to enter this card in:-

Many thanks for looking in...
have a wonderful week...

Quilted Card

Hello again...

Well this is my second birthday card in two days (the other will be posted after it has been received), this one is going to another family history friend who has also taken up quilting in recent months. 

I had a plan in mind for this card of a general plain repeated pattern quilt but Papercraft Inspirations magazine templates came to the rescue with a lovely pattern to create in just nine squares. Living across the world has its benefits, the patterns are released online to coincide with the UK release of the magazine, by the time the magazine makes it across the world and into our newsagencies it could be three or four months later (unless you subscribe), so using the patterns completely unaided by full colour images leaves you free to envisage your own end product.

Here's my card



I remember seeing this pattern during high school textiles while we were studying quilt making for our final exams, including creating our very own quilts as a major project. The tulips are very pretty as quilted squares and I was impressed at how well they worked in miniature for the card. I used my pierced square dies and so that the piercing continues across the triangles I used a larger square to add the piercing where required, only missing the corner piece.


What I used:-

A4 white card to create square easel card blank
White card
Wild rose studio paper pack
MFT Pierced square die
Button from stash
Lily of the valley Birthday stamp
Black ink pad
Craft Mat, Stanley knife & steel ruler
Kaisercraft 2mm bling (on sentiment)
Jute cord
Mini pegs from stash

Adhesives- P.V.A. glue, Double-sided adhesive paper, double-sided tape, Foam tape

I would like to enter this card in:


Thank you for looking in…
Have a good one…
Megan

P.S. A huge thank you to all the kind ladies who leave me a little message, I truly appreciate each and every one of them ;-)
