Music themed Birthday Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? We have been quite busy. The samples I have made are in the post and tracked and traced. I really didn't want them to get lost. We had breakfast with friends on Thursday morning. That is a lovely way to socialise. I have a feeling I know what a lot of people will be doing on Sunday. 

Here the birthday card I made for my hubby. Back in the day he used to play guitar. His fingers are too sore now. Just one of the joys of getting older. He does still enjoy music very much. 


I used a 7" x 7" black card blank. The musical papers I have are digital so I can print them when I need them and I always know where they are. 


I have been upcycling old cards again. This fabulous image was too good to throw away. I used Crafts-Too Vintage Copper Satin card for the the mats and layers. I also die cut some musical notes to add to the design. 


I think he will enjoy this card. His birthday is in August. I just need to think of a present for him now. 

Have a good weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Beccy's Place - Sing Joy digi stamp set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a great weekend. Yesterday my husband  worked  at his University's  Open Day. I went out early and treated myself to breakfast at M&S. In the evening we went to a 50th Birthday party. Today we are having a lazy day sorting things out for our trip to London next week.

I am one of the contributors to the Beccy's Place blog. I was sent the Sing Joy digi set and I was asked  to make cards, tags and a box to put them in.


Here is the box I decorated the patterned paper with washi tape and musical notes made with a tattered lace die. 

There are many fantastic images in the store and Beccy runs regular competitions. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


Here is the open box showing the cards and tags inside. 


Here are the cards I enjoyed putting the images in different configurations. 


Here are the tags. 


Here is everything together. This is such a fun set to use. I am not sure who these cards will go to but whoever it is I am sure they will make them smile. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Goodbye Roy

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been?  There is a lot to do I am sure your agree. Yesterday  I went shopping with a list that said milk and 6 bottles of wine. That could only be at this time of year couldn't it.

Last month when we attended the funeral of our old friend we found out about another friend who had died the day before. Yesterday we went to his funeral. I made this card for the wife he left behind. Roy was very musical he played clarinet in some jazz bands and in the church worship group. That is how he and his wife met through his music. We met Roy when we were leading a small group at an Alpha course. The group turned into a nurture group and we met for about two years before the group disbanded. We did get to hear Roy play once in his band he was very good. The funeral was lovely his Jazz band played outside the church before the service and they played again at his funeral tea.


This is an 8" x 8" card. I used black on this card as I wanted it to have a musical theme and music notation is often black. I used a Visible Image stamp to create the music background. I used Perfect Medium and black, white and brown embossing powder for the heat embossing.  Once I had done the embossing I used Distress ink to colour the background. 


I used my new With Sympathy die by Sue Wilson. I wasn't expecting to use it again so soon. I teamed it with the Hannah die set also by Sue Wilson. I must admit to buying this die set simply because it has the same name as our daughter. This is the first time I have used it. I was rather taken with the hearts in the corners. I used some music backing paper from my stash behind the die. 


As we met Roy and his wife through church I put a small cross in the corner of the card. 


Here is Roy he was a lovely, talented man he will be missed. 


When we spoke to his wife at the funeral she mentioned how much she liked this card. I am going to try and meet her for a coffee sometime. We now have our own Costa in our town so we don't have to go far for a drink. 

Enjoy your weekend. We have plans I will let you know about them on Monday. 

Happy Crafting 

Hugs Jackie
