Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2018 challenge

I have blog candy here - why not take a look, tell others and link to try and win it.

This is my design for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2018 challenge. If you make anything that includes some patterned paper you can link your entries and you might be the randomly chosen winner of lovely Love to Craft Papillion papers and some extras as well. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

One Papillion paper was used for the background, another being die cut with a Nellie frame die and matted on to the Love to Craft doily from the Papillion range.I inked the lovely Fun Stamps Fuchsia round with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pens, die cutting with a Nellie Snellen circle and mounting on to the other die cut. The butterflies and the added adhesive pearls were also from the Papillion range. The greeting across the top is a lovely foiled piece from a Hunkydory kit (photo doesn't do it justice).

We three kings ...

Another CAS Christmas card made with an offcut piece of chocolate brown mirror card run through the todo with the Star of wonder embossing folder by Die'sire. The topper was rescued from an old card - too good to put in the recycling bin. There is just a hint of brown with glitter here and there that tones with the piece of embossing, on to a white card blank.

Home for Christmas

This quick and easy card has no patterned paper, but an offcut strip of purple mirror card embossed with the lovely Star of wonder embossing folder by Die'sire. It's hard to get a photo showing it without getting glare.The card blank is a pale lilac.

The centre piece is from a Kanban kit purchased long ago. The photo doesn't show it, but the inside of the frame has an acetate dome to give depth.  And the houses inside the frame are glittered, but, once again, it doesn't show. Greeting is a silver peel off.

Another quick and easy Christmas card using Kanban papers (the top one is foiled, but can't get it to show on the photo). The image that I've printed out is one that I've had for some time and I can't remember where it came from. If anyone recognises, please let me know.

WOYWW 473

It's Wednesday and that means a visit to Julia's lovely blog and lots of other lovely crafting spaces to explore and enjoy. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the head over to WOYWW 473 at Julia's lovely blog and find out ... and I hope you'll join in the fun.

This morning I'm posting really early because John has two cardiology appointments at the local hospital - the first is for an echo before seeing the consultant later and the appointment is 9 o'clock, which means we need to be ready for transport at 7 ... that alarm just keeps getting earlier and earlier.

Anyway, back to the purpose of this post ... to show what's in my workspace today. I confess that the stamps that needed cleaning had even been added to since last week's showing of my desk, but I've been shamed into dealing with them ... no, I haven't cleaned them ... I've just moved them - lol!

So, on the left hand side of my desk there just happen to be the five little circle stamps still there because I have a plan to use them again very soon. And then there's a few nice things that will be used on a card for my Patterned paper challenge and some of it will be used for a prize on there - if you haven't discovered my Pattered Paper challenge blog yet, then please click on the link, visit and then join in the fun using some of your patterned paper. And, of course, the all important fan that runs off the usb on the computer - it's only small, but does the job well.

Over on the right hand side of my desk are some more new goodies and underneath there are lots of offcuts as well as the Papermania Modern Deco paper pad that I've fallen in love with.

In the middle you can see four cards that I've made and blogged in the last couple of days:

 When I can I'll visit some of the blogs linked for WOYWW 473 and I hope you will too.

Have a wonderful Christmas

Thinking of you in deepest sympathy

This is for the sketch on Try stamping - or not - on Tuesday 369:

I followed the option of 'scrap busting' - all pieces cut from offcuts that were around on my desk from making earlier cards, mounted on to a purple card base. The sentiment square was upcycled from an old card - lace added from stash - not enough to go all the way across, so, still using up scraps, a piece either side and nobody would know it wasn't one piece. The sentiment square, mounted on another scrap has foam pads top and bottom to raise a bit from the lace.

85th birthday card

This is another card commissioned by a retired Salvation Army Officer similar to a couple I've shown before. I was asked to make a card for a SA colleague for her 85th birthday.  I used the picture of an open bible as before, this time digitally adding the new hat worn by ladies, adding the old style bonnet with the picture of the flag. I was asked to add a black car as the recipient used to drive one. The background is from the lovely Downton Abbey pack from Crafter's Companion bought some time ago, with the little domed brass frame from The Works.

Happy birthday Hyacinth

This is a commissioned card for a friend to send to her mother ... her name, of course, is Hyacinth, so, obviously I was asked to incorporate that flower into the card.  I used a free download digital image, printed, coloured with spectrum noir pens and cut with a todo decorative oval die, using a smaller one to cut the sentiment which I had printed from computer, edging both with a spectrum pen. The background paper is an unknown piece on to which I added the ribbon with blingy sequins from Poundland and the lovely lilac lace from The Range, with some 3D butterflies with acetate wings and rhinestones here and there. I gave the card to my friend this morning and she was thrilled with it and knows that her mother will love it.

Keep fit and drink wine

A commissioned card with the request to include keep fit and wine. Some unknown paper as background, Kanban topper with a die cut bottle of wine and frame. I found the silhouettes free online and added the Relax! sentiment, placing the printed out card within the frame (took a couple of goes to get this right). Crocheted flowers, buttons and sentiments from stash.

Viola for Lucy

This is a commissioned card made for a friend's granddaughter who plays the viola. The viola was from a freebie image, printed and cut round. Flowers from Hobbycraft, butterfly and dragonfly from The Works, ribbon from stash. Background is a piece of My Paper Stash card and two offcuts of Hunkydory at the bottom of the inside. The large sentiment piece is from Kanban.

This is for The library challenge 10: the rose garden:

I think my card incorporates some of the colour and feel of a garden. Having read the summary of the book, I'm prompted to get it and read.
