GRADUATION EXPLODING BOX

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

I do hope everyone is having a lovely weekend despite the rain that's if it's raining where ever you live.

Here in the UK we are having lots of rain this summer and cooler weather too, and that suits me as I don't like very hot weather, but I feel sorry for those who love the sunny warm days too.

 

I have a Graduation Exploding box to show you that I made.

This is a You Tube video that gives you very clear instructions, and you will find it

HERE 

The lady's name is Sam Calcott UK, and there are some wonderful tutorials on some very beautiful creations she makes.

I made this for my Granddaughter who finished her university this summer passing all her exams too.

She is hoping to become a Barrister and has had her works experience with a firm in London who were eager to employ her if she passes her exams, this was all before covid of course.

The second photo is the inside of the box.

Thank you so much for your visit and your precious time.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE......JULY 2021 .......DT CAARDS

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

 

Well it's the 25th of the month yet again, and time for the

Rudolf Days Challenge over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

The challenge runs from today till the last day of the month, and as always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.

There is a lovely prize for the winner too.

So here is what I made for my DT this month.

 

These are both 8"x8" in size.

On the both I used up some tags I made about 4 years ago to enter Lolls tag challenge she ran then.

Not sure if it still runs or not.

The first card is a mixed media design with lots of different layers.

The second card I stamped fir branches all over card for a background similar to the tag, and on the inside edges of the card too, and I also stamped the verses on both.

Couldn't find my lovely pearlised embossing powder to make it the same as the tag.

I added some lovely green Holographic card to the tag to match the matt and layer edge.

The Holographic Card is from 

Tonic and they sell some lovely colours in it.

The image on the tag is a Hunkydory one.

The mixed media one I can't rememeber where those images came from on the baubles.

I added Glossy Accents to each bauble.

The MDF Noel is from Anna Marie Designs.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT.........SPRING IS COMING

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

I am back again today as it's the first of the month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The theme this month is 

SPRING IS COMING,

 chosen by our lovely Christine, as it's March.

Now luckily I didn't have to make a card especially for this theme as I had made one for my Stepdaughter who had a severe stroke just after New Years, and I wanted to make a card that cheered her up.

She is home now and having physio, but was only 57 which I think is quite young.

Thankfully her Dad was not here to worry about her.

She also caught covid while in the hospital which I was not happy about.

So here is the Spring themed card I made her.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The card stock is from Hunkydory Garden Treasures.

In the kit you had some plant pot cards you could make.

I decided to put one on the front of the card with lots of Spring Flowers in it.

Please pop along to the challenge blog to see the wonderful creations made by my Team Friends and enter if you can.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.
