The A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge - October - Anything Goes

 Hello My Craft Blog Friends and Visitors

Happy October. It is time to start drinking Pumpkin Spiced Lattes. Hopefully our daughter and son-in-law will move this month. Then the bunnies can go to their lovely new home. 

The October Challenge has just started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge.  The theme is Anything Goes and there are some gorgeous digi papers on offer as prizes. 


I do like a slimline card. I had a strip of paper from the Hue Digi Set and it just needed to be made into a card. 


Our challenges is always fun to enter. Click on the logo and you will taken to the blog. 


I added Daisies made with the Tatty Daisy die  from the John Next Door range along with the Leafy Flourish die set  from his range too. I added Candi to the centre of the flowers and a bit of distress ink. 


I think the paper makes a good backdrop to the flowers. 

Happy Crafting

Bee Happy with Tatty Daisies

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? Was is hot like ours? On Saturday our daughter and son-in-law came with afternoon tea. Even now we still have leftovers and we sent them home with some bits too. On Sunday we had a quiet day. Being so hot it was hard to do much. 

I treated myself to a copy of Die-Cutting Essentials magazine a couple of weeks ago. I really like the honeycomb background die that came free with the magazine.



I have lots of Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. The brushes are now damaged and are hard to colour with. The pens are still full of ink. I have taken to making backgrounds with them. The colours are lovely and the extra bit of sparkle is nice. 
I used the Tatty Daisy die with the Rose Leaves from the John Next Door die range to make the flowers across the middle of the card. I added Candi to the centre of the flowers. 

Here is the background die from the magazine. The bee I won as a prize. The heart in the corner comes from the back of the bee. 

This sentiment comes from a Dovercraft die set.  I have used it a lot this summer. I do love putting bees on cards. 

I was pleased with how this card turned out. I am very pleased with the background die. It is a useful addition to my bee related die collection. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Tatty Daisy Card - Just Because

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Yesterday I had my hair cut. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the experience. Also I have known my hairdresser for 23 years and she like a good friend. She used to cut our daughter's hair and always asks about how she is getting on. This morning we dropped off a Covid test each. We are taking part in a trial. In a few days we should get the result. 

I have been making a few cards. My friend is opening her house for the Open Studios event and she has asked me if I would like to have a table of cards. Of course I said yes. This will take place August Bank Holiday Weekend. That really isn't far away. 


Sometime ago I treated myself to the Tatty Daisy die from the John Next Door range. I had a design in my head that I wanted to try. As you know I have been making simple cards recently this is another one. All the card I used was from my stash. I do like this pink card, it has nearly all gone, but I don't know where it came from. 


I cut the daisies from scraps of white paper that has a sheen to it. The centres were coloured with Distress ink and candi was added as well. I cut and added the Rose Leaves also from the John Next Door range. 


This sentiment is from Creative Expressions. It is quite useful as it makes the card more flexible to use. 


I was quite pleased with how this card turned out. There are some other things I want to try now. 
I just looked up the meaning of Daisy and it meas Day's Eye and it came from Old English. If we get another cow we might call it Daisy. 🐄

Winter Wonderland Challenge blog - What you love to do at Christmas?

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are all well and have had a great week. I have been invigilating at the local secondary school for the Mock exams. Today I will be working all day with hardly any breaks. I can't remember the last time I worked all day. We are having fish and chips for tea as I have feeling I am going to be tired.

Today the new challenge starts on the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog, the sponsor this time is Kinda Cute and the theme is What you love to do at Christmas? Guess what I love drinking coffee all year round and not just at Christmas. But at Christmas there are lots of lovely flavours to try.


The backing papers were off cuts I found in my stash. I cut the image square and mounted it on black. Then I found two circles that were left over from my Hunkydory craft kit. They looked good when placed over the image. Then I cut and mounted an image where the colouring had gone wrong. I place it underneath to make a star shape. 

There are many wonderful images in the store click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


The image I used is called Bear with Cup and it is available HERE.  I used one of my photos to make a background in Publisher I added the snow at the bottom and the sentiment. The image I used was a PNG which meat it went nicely onto the background for me to colour. I flipped the image so the two are slightly facing each other. I printed onto Neenah card and I coloured the bears with my Promarkers.


I haven't done a lot of colouring lately. I really need to do a bit more practice. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Daisy Cluster - Thank You

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? I have been very tired since the weekend we did so much. I feel like I am playing catch up with myself. The end of term is in sight and I nearly have all the leaving cards sorted.

I needed a thank you card  to give to the teacher I have been working with this year.


 I must admit that I used a card blank and mats and layers that were from a project I started but it went in a different direction. That did save me a bit of time on this occasion. The patterned paper was part of a bundle I got from a craft workshop I attended recently.  I added some Candi to the corners. 


I cut the main die from the Daisy Cluster Die set in green Centura Pearl card and the flowers in mauve. Pearls were added to the centre of each daisy.


I used the oval die from the Thank you die set to cut a white oval and the two dies together to cut the sentiment. 


Here is a picture from the wedding on Saturday the bride and groom are with my husband's parents the bride's grandparents. 


I am on another school trip tomorrow this one should be fun it is to a Model Railway open day. 

I would like to enter Pixie's Snippets Playground Week 237.

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Unicorn Challenge Blog - Challenge 2 Think Pink

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I am back again this week this time with my inspiration card for the start of the new challenge on the Unicorn Challenge blog and the theme is Think Pink. This is just our second challenge we were overwhelmed by the response to our very first challenge.


Would you believe it I actually found this challenge quite hard. I went through my stash and I found this beautiful paper I think it came from magazine. There was so much going on with the paper it was hard to know quite how to deal with it. 


I decided to use a selection of Sue Wilson dies to build up round the sentiment in a space on the paper so that none of the lovely elements were hidden. 


 I did ink the paper to make it a little more pink than it started out originally. 


The final touch was to add some ribbon (it covered the yellow flower) and Candi from my stash of course they had to be pink.

I do hope that you are having a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Sunflower Candi

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been so far? I has been very wet here so I am spending the last week of my holiday crafting. Not all bad then. I am hoping to get ahead with some of my Design Team makes. If everything works out I will be doing something exciting at the weekend. I will let you know about it if it actually happens.

This is just a brief  post from me today. I wanted a quick birthday card so I turned to my members gift from C&C -  the Craftwork Cards pad and Candi.


The image from the pad made the topper with the Candi added. I stick the Candi on to the card with a gell glue I find this easier than sticky pads. 



I do like sunflowers they are such bright cheerful flowers. 


There you have it a nice quick card. 

I hope the rest of the week is kind to you.

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Another Leaving Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you have had a good week. I am on holiday from school now I have been spending my time between crafting and getting ready for our holiday. I am hoping to do one more post before I go. I am working on scheduling posts for Design Team commitments which are due while I am away. So I will be popping up from time to time.

As I have said a few times there were a few people leaving at the end of term. I made a couple of cards for lots people to sign and a few individual cards just from me. I needed just one more card and I remembered the Craftworks cards kit that I got as a members gift from Create and Craft.


This was quite a simple card to make. Though I have to admit that I have never used Craftworks Candi when making a card before. The flowery border was cut with a Martha Stewart punch around the page set. 

To decorate the image I used Candi that came in the set.  I stuck the Candi to the image with Pinflair gel glue I found this easier than foam pads. 


I cut the sentiment with some Spellbinder dies. 


I did enjoy making this card. There are some beautiful images in the rest of the pack. You might be seeing a few more of these cards. 

I hope that you have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
