Trains, Planes ad Automobile for MAWTT Challenge

Good morning. It is time for another challenge at MAWTT and it is Trains, Planes and Automobiles.

My Card 


 I used stamps and co-ordinating dies from Just Right Stampers. It is not easy to see but I stamped the car image onto the black card and heat embossed it. The cogs are from an old Papermania die set.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out my team mates cards and you may decide to join in with the challenge.

Using die cuts at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up

 Good morning everyone.  Christmas and New Year have disappeared in the rear view mirror and it's onwards and upwards. Today is my DT card for the 12 Months of Christmas.  The challenge is always anything goes - as long as it is Christmas! However, there is also an optional twist should you wish  to go in that direction and this month is to use diecuts. 

The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up is a unique challenge blog designed to provide incentive to help participants avoid the yearly Christmas card panic that many go through as the Christmas holidays approach!


My Card


 

For my card I used the background image from Snowy Church Mini Kit by Delicious Dynamite Doodles.. It makes an extremely simple but effective card. I added a layer and a diecut greeting and I was done!

DragonFly Dreams March Challenge - Outdoors

 Good morning . Today I have my DT card for the Dragonfly Dreams challenge blog.

https://dragonflydreamschallenges.blogspot.com/2023/03/march-challenge-outdoors.html

 


I used an image from Joanna Sheen which reminds me of driving out for Sunday lunch.

I then added mats and layers using a brick embossing folder and a brick paper.

It's very simple but a great on for those pesky males in our lives who are more difficult to make cards for.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out the catds from my team mates and maybe you will decide to join in with us?


Take care.

Christmas Card Club Songs/Carols

 Good morning.  I have been missing for a while and have missed the last two challenges but I was determined to participate this time.

My Card

 

I used a very old but well loved Lili of the Valley rubber stamp coloured with Promarkers, I printed the musical score onto vellum. 

The cold weather and probably more snow are due to return later in the week. I doubt it will be like just before Christmas when we were snowed in for almost a week. I'm cold enough now!  I do seem tofeel the cold much more these days.  My brother calls me a soft southerner now not the hardy northerner I used to be.

Take care.

Two Patterned Papers for Christmas Card Club

 Good morning. Time for the Christmas Card Club ladies to show a card with two patterned papers.

This is a 6" square base card and I have used papres from a Papermania pack from many years ago "Home for Christmas".  I have some scraps left because at the time  bought two pads because I liked it so much. Sadly there is hardly any left at all now. The sentiment is from Little Claire - again very old. I used Britannia small rose die and the leaves are also Britannia but they were in my stash box so not sure which they are. The sweet image is an LOTV topper

Hope you are all well and managing to keep warm.

Take care.
