Passion For Markers Challenge #746 - Use a Die

 Hi Crafters,

I hope you are well and thank you for visiting today, I will endeavour to get to your blogs as soon as I can but I haven't been feeling 100% recently and so things have slipped a bit.

Anyway I am here this morning with a card for the new challenge at Passion For Markers.

We are sponsored by Dies To Die For and our theme is

USE A DIE

I have used this fabulous image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps called 'Montgomery Mole' and coloured him with Copics. I used several Stitched dies (Crealies XXL Double Stitched Ovals & Creative Expressions Stitched Squares) to cut out the part oval and square frames. The pretty little Daisy is a new die to me from Highlight Crafts called 'Daisy Daydream' which comes with it's matching printed reflections image. Both the grass die and the sentiment die are unbranded ones but I picked out the colour in the centre of the daisy to use as a shadow for the sentiment to make it stand out.

Our sponsor is Dies To Die For

who are offering a fabulous £15 voucher to the lucky winner so come and join in the fun with us here for a chance to win. Just follow the theme, link up your new project to the challenge blog and use your Markers of course.

See you soon and have fun!

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #125 - Anything Goes

 Hi Crafters,

It's July 1st and that date means a new challenge is starting at Crafts Galore Encore. You have a whole month to create up to three different projects with an Anything Goes theme, so nice and easy.

Here is my card....

This is my first Christmas make of 2024! I am so behind, I usually start making my Christmas cards in January but this year seems to have been very challenging for me. I will have to get cracking on the rest of my festive cards soon otherwise I will never be ready for the Big Day.

I have layered two papers from a collection of Christmas 12 x 12 papers, not sure what make they are as they were purchased in a mixed bundle a long time ago. I cut an aperture in the top paper being careful to cut around the sweet swirls to create a 'window' for my Gingerbread Couple. This sweet digital image is called Decorations - Gingerbread Holly and I have coloured it with Copics. I added some glittery enamel dots to the centre of each sweet swirl and added the sentiment which is a Creative Expressions Die.

Our sponsor this month is Polkadoodles who are offering the lucky winner a prize of 3 digital stamps.

The Design Team have been busy creating their inspirational projects for you, check out their makes here.

I hope you will come and join in the fun this month.

See you soon,

Lorraine
