More than One fold

Hello friends, hope you are well on this Saturday morning. I must first apologise if I've not been to visit you this week. It's been a little bit hectic at work so my crafty time has rather gone by the wayside. I will endeavour to have a blogging session when it rains, which it is sure to given that we have a holiday weekend to look forward to!! Anyway, on to the reason for my post today.

At Allsorts this week Liz has chosen the optional theme of

More than one fold.

I have used my trusty Presscut Stepper Die Set and made this...

...and here she is at a jaunty angle too

The pretty paper is from The Range and I found the sweet Marianne Designs cut up sheet in my stash. A freebie tag die and stamp set finished it nicely together with a trio of pretty flowers and a little piece of irridescent embroidery thread.

If you prefer, you can always take the Anything Goes option to be in with a chance of one of the prizes below. 

Prizes from Oakwood (2 x A5 stamp sets) and Highlight Crafts (3 x A5 stencils) 

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend if you are in the UK.

See you soon xx

 

AYLI Soft or Bold

Hello, hello!! Welcome again. I have a man type card to share today as my Dt piece for

As You Like It.

This theme is SOFT or BOLD colours.

My "go to", in life actually, is bold. Clothing, home decor and the majority of my crafting will show bold colours. I have mentioned many times that back in the 80's days of shoulder pads and high heels, i had my "colours done" and to this day still choose bright, bold and clear colours.

 This little chap was pulled from an old LOTV sketch pad and coloured with Promarkers to match the MME paper pad in suitably bold and manly colours.

I hope you will join us this fortnight.

See you on Saturday xx

Stencil at Allsorts

I am way out of my comfort zone with my card today. Dena is hosting at 

Allsorts Challenge and her optional theme is Use a stencil.

I don't have very many in my crafty arsenal but this Funky Fossil one has been used a couple of times.

A lovely crafty friend gifted me some DI pads so I used those to create the delicate background in pink and lilac shades. The adorable little hippo is Trouble in a Tutu by Clearly Besotted (sadly retired but there are other cuties available!). I coloured her with Promarkers and popped her on the Whimsy Birthday die using foam tape.

Thank you for your continued support xx

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Hello bloggy friends. Thank you for stopping by today. 

I have a super cute Christmas card as it's time for a new challenge at

We would love to see your CUTE cards featuring a sentiment based on a christmas Carol or Song.

Here's mine

My Christmas Song is We Wish You A Merry Christmas using an old Crafters Companion Bebunni stamp. Isn't he adorable dressed up as a Christmas pud!!

♫ Oh bring us some figgy pudding🎜 

I coloured him with Promarkers and again used papers from Kraft Notes by Do Crafts.

That's another card on the christmas pile.

See you soon x

Balloons

 We are "Up, up and away" at Allsorts this week where the optional theme is balloons.

I have made a little four inch card using a lovely MFT set that was part of a birthday gift from a lovely crafty friend. 

I used a Dutch Dubadoo cloud stencil for the background and coloured the hen and cow with Promarkers.

Prizes from AALL and Create
