Allsorts Challenge - #785 - Masculine/Father's Day

 Hi Crafters,

Thank you for joining me today for the start of new challenge at Allsorts.

As we are heading towards Father's Day we would like to see your Masculine Creations or Father's Day cards.

I have used this intricate motorbike die cut as my focal piece, I'm not sure of the brand as it was purchased in a bundle of dies from Ebay but I have framed it using a Tattered Lace Decorative Edge die. This was embossed on the inside area with a metal plate texture embossing folder which I then inked through the die to keep the frame highlighted. The papers are from a masculine Papermania pad and I have used Spellbinders Banner dies with Britannia Sentiment dies.

Prizes from Craft Stash, Highlight Crafts and AALL and Create for these weeks

Pop over to the challenge blog here for inspiration from the Design Team, then come and join in with us, we love the see what you create. 

Have a great day!

Allsorts Challenge #782 - A Blast From The Past

 Hi Crafters,

We have a new challenge theme starting today at Allsorts, come and join in with us.

Ellie had chosen the theme of...

A BLAST FROM THE PAST

or you have the Anything Goes option.

My card was created using an image from a Hunkydory Men's Sports Pad and teamed with some papers from a 12 x 12 paper pad that have been in my stash for ages. The Cogs and Gears die is from Creative Expressions and is called Industrial Chic Frame. I have cut it apart and used it on opposing corners. The sentiment die is from Paper Boutique.

Prizes from Stampendous

The Design Team have been busy creating lots of wonderful projects to inspire your entries, take a look HERE.

Have a great weekend, as you read this I will be organising and attending our local monthly Farmers & Craft Market so a busy day for me.

See you later!

Street Wise

Hi Crafters,

I've been looking through my stamp collection and coming across lots of stamps that haven't been inked up before - you know the ones - those fabulous stamps that we just NEEDED at the time but then never got around to using when we got them home, so this is one of those.

The skate-border and sentiment come from two of the 'Just For Men' stamp sets by Crafters Companion called 'Rock Star' & 'Street Wise', hence the title of my blog today and I teamed them with digital papers from Michele R Designs called 'Kool Dude'.

I have a few orders for those too that I need to crack on with so maybe I will be able to share them once the orders have gone out.

It's turning in to a brighter day here today since I came back from my walk, now to get stuck in to some serious crafting!

Mine's a Pint!

Hi Crafters,

What a dreary morning it is today and set to stay that way too I think well in to the weekend. What has happened to our seasons? - there doesn't seem to be a defined Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter any more like I remember as a young girl, instead we have an erratic swing from warm to cold and sunny to rainy days all in one week. Just as I put my winter woollies away, I need them again.

Well that's enough talk about the weather - we could be here all day!

On to my card which is the reason for my title today, not that I drink pints mind you, can't stand the taste of beer at all, but this is my 'OLDIE' share for Erika's challenge at Snappy Crafts. I haven't joined in for a while so I found this older card in my file and here we are....

Recipe

If you would like to join in with us at Erika's, it's just for fun, post an old card or crafty project and link up over on her blog.

That's all from me today, but I have DT posts over the weekend so I will see you then.
