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:-

Bugaboo Stamps Stella Witch Society digi

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

Acetate scrap

MFT Fence and stitched rectangle dies

Memory Box Arboscello die

3 black self adhesive rhinestones

Adhesives: Double sided tape, Diamond Glaze (on glasses and acetate)

LPoCF Fabrika Fantasy Halloween

 Hello again, 

Spring has sprung here in Australia, our fruiting trees are in flower with plenty of bees buzzing around, fresh green leaf buds are twinkling in the sunlight. I have had a few cards to make this last week, I should really be making them in advance, the post was a month and half late arriving at Easter and is probably even slower now as we have alternate delivery days, 3 days one week and 2 the next.... 

Today brings us to a new Challenge over with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy this fortnight who are giving the winner of the challenge three Images as the Prize. I have used a digi stamp called Little Witch to make a gift tag, I may give it to a friend who has requested a special card for Halloween (not a huge holiday in Aus, but becoming more popular)

Magpie's Carolling

 Hello again,

Well Spring has arrived here in Australia, our fruit trees are beginning to flower, we have a Wattle Bird nesting in our back garden, they are collecting spiders from around the house to feed their brood on and our resident Blue tongue already spotted sunning itself out the front yard. We are still staying close to home with the current pandemic, avoiding travelling out of area where possible, NSW is seeing a few community transmissions each day and have so far avoided an outbreak like Victoria. 

This week I have managed to make two cards, one for Dad for Father's Day (today) which I haven't had the chance to photograph and one for Mum's birthday later this week. I also have plans for a special Halloween card for a lady who loves to celebrate Halloween, but circumstances this year mean it won't be on... 

I have used a Beccy's Place image called The Front Gate and used paper piecing for the wood and the nest/mailbox, gel ink pens in green, gold, silver with black for the Aussie Magpie with our closest pattern variation on their feathers and water colour pencils to create the background scenery. 

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

14cm square card blank
Beccy's Place image The Front Gate
Gel ink pens- Gold, Green, black, Silver, Orange
Derwent Watercolour pencils 
Kaisercraft Australiana paper pad
Kaisercraft Basecoat paper pad (scraps of woodgrain)
Kaisercraft Blue Bay paper pack (scrap weathered wood) 
Lili of the Valley sentiment stamp
Olive Colorbox ink
Clear embossing powder
Circle and Stitched square dies
Enamel dots (Francheville)
