Handmade Cards at Mrs H's Crafty Corner: October 2020

A Perfect Time To Craft Debut

I have been dying to tell you all and let you in on my little secret but I have been sworn to secrecy until it was announced on the blog.....

I am the new member of the Design Team for The Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog

This months challenge is kindly sponsored by The Artsy Stamper and Fred She Said

My first project uses images by The Artsy Stamper

and uses The North Pole Stamp Set

These are the pre coloured images but come in black and white also for those of you who enjoy the colouring task.

A piece of green card was cut using a larger torn rectangle die.

An A5 card base was blended with distress ink in Fired Brick around the edges

The background paper and the green torn rectangle were adhered to the card base.

Hessian ribbon by adhered on top of this

and the image was then glued on

Tiny buttons were placed on the ribbon either side of the image

The green and red nuvo drops were dotted about the background

A wooden holly embellishment was decorated with the nuvo drops and then glued onto the image

Nuvo drops were added to the white background in moonlight silver to give the impression of snow

Magengo Say Cheese

This is a new company I had not heard of before but the fabulous Vicki over at Vics Crafts is on their design team so I popped over to Etsy for a quick look and oh my! My basket was full before I had chance to say digital stamp.

The digital stamps also come with the SVG file and I spent absolutely ages lining this up with the image I had printed and was starting to loose my patience. When it dawned on me I didn't even need the SVG as I have a scan and cut. Scanned my images and was finished within 3 minutes. Talk about trying to complicate things.

The images were printed, coloured and eventually cut using the scan n cut machine

A piece of white card was cut with a stitched slim line die and blended with the distress inks

The distress ink was blended in Spiced marmalade and then mustard seed with Frayed corduroy around the edges

Using a circle nesting die I cut our 4 holes to give the impression of cheese

This was adhered onto a slim line card base

And the images arranged

The sentiments were trimmed by hand and the corners rounded before being blended in mustard seed distress ink

These were adhered with foam squares

Nuvo drops were added

And the glass on the lantern and the lens on the camera were finished with glossy accents

Christmas Is Coming

Do you go and pick a real tree at Christmas? We have never had a real tree, never ever! Every year I say next year I want a real tree and every year without fail something else needs our cash and so our fake tree comes back out of storage.

These critters look like they have had a great time picking theirs
