Creative Moments Challenge 181

Happy Friday

Today by the time you read this, I will be heading to The New Forest for the day to visit my parents, my wonderful son will be chauffeuring me.

Now on to the crafty stuff

This time over at Creative Moments the theme is as usual Anything Goes and the optional twist is Buttons and/or bows

We have 2 wonderful sponsors and I am working with 

Eureka

My first card uses the image Bethlehem Verse

I used Spellbinders Winter Wonders embossing Folder, and then cut the image/verse using Memory Box's Holly Holiday Frame.

The embellishments are Creative Expressions Star Spray and Filigree Holly. The poinsettia is Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia.

My second card uses the image Big Snowy Tree

This time I went with the optional twist and used Sunny Studios Sweater Vest to create the card base. I know it is supposed to be a snowy tree, but I just fancied playing with some glitter pens for some added colour, adding to the ugly Christmas sweater theme. I used Knit one pearl one embossing folder, by Desire to create the cable knit and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Don We Now Our Ugly Sweater stamp set, cut out with MFT's Skinny strips

613 Avenue Create Challenge Challenge 227

Happy Sunday

This time over at 613 Avenue Create  the optional twist is "Craft Your Stash"

Ok so do you have a tin like this?

Full to the brim of die cuts and bits you intended to use on a project and changed your mind after stamping and/or cutting out

And do you have a pile of backgrounds? Mine is a collection of techniques I wanted to try, but had no project in mind when making them.

So when the twist was "Craft Your Stash" I was a little afraid of this challenge, don't get me wrong I have from time to time dipped into the tin of the pile and used something on a project, but to do this challenge justice I wanted everything to be from my stash.

When MFT first released the stamp sets Knight in Shining Armour and Once Upon a Time, way back in January 2017, I just had to purchase them, and as I wanted to make a Birthday card for my very own Knight in Shining Armour, my wonderful hubby Paul, I felt I just had to order them pronto :-)

When the sets arrived I promptly stamped and coloured many of the images, and then picked out the ones I wanted to use on hubbies card. So the rest of the images ended up in "The Tin"

So here is what was left, along with some Lawn Fawn Clouds, and one of those background techniques I tried but had not used.
