Weekly Post for the Happy Craft Challenge blog / Cards

Hi Guys

Its my turn on the https://thehappycraftchallenge.blogspot.com.

This last week I  was still catching up on the Birthday Cards for a couple of customers

I am sharing the cards that i created for an 8 year old girl , i have not  glued down the 8  as once the customers has chosen i can  remove the 8 and the cards  can go into my stash for someone else

I have no idea what eight year old's  girls like so have made a couple so  the buyer has some choice

I have two Fairy cards , A Mermaid  z fold card and one with eight Balloons.


A few weeks ago i was in a $2.00 shop and came across a Fairy  Designer paper pack from Pass time Craft. The Designer pack had 8 sheets and two of the same design in all the colours of the rainbow. I also had purchased ages ago or may be it was a challenge win not sure a yellow decoupage Fairy sheet which i have used

The First Fairy  Card is a 5.5" square card
I have cut the bottom right hand side of the yellow paper  to create the base, out of the second sheet i fussy cut another butterfly and fairy to layer onto the card
Dye cut the Happy Birthday out of scraps of yellow and use a flower from my stash . Added Gems




Second Fairy Card

I used a piece of green from the designer pack as my base  6" x 4" card base using it as a tent fold card. Fussy cut more butterflies from the yellow designer paper.  Dye cut another  "Happy Birthday" from scraps of yellow designer paper
Layered all the levels of the fairy to make a decoupage " little yellow fairy" Added to card
Added Gems and the fussy cut butterflies



This is my favourite card


The Third Card is a Z fold Mermaid card  at 4.75" square

I have used Kaisercraft "Mermaid Tales"and Kaisercraft purple card stock. all the pieces were scraps left in my bag. If i was starting from scratch the papers would have been "Ripples"  Reverse and "Deep Sea" Reverse with Collectables and Gems




The Fourth Card Is a  Balloon Card


I have used scraps from my box  in tones of pink, blue and purple
I have dye cut the balloon in the four colours and layered to the base colour of pink
Added  Butterflies
Dye cut circle and flower for placement of the number 8
Add Gems  in top let hand corner
Dye Cut the Words "Have a Wonderful Birthday from scraps of mauve card stock

On this windy day in South East Queensland, still getting the winds from cyclone "OMA" which is sitting off the coast, not expect to cross the coast but whipping up some wild  seas and windy weather, but alas no rain which we need desperately,

Mid Monthly Challenge "Circles"

              

  1. No photo description available.
Morning all

Was asked to do another Design Team post for our Mid Monthly Challenge over on the  Happy Craft Creations  Face Book Page . Members only challenge
Come join the fun, You could make a card , a layout , ATC Coin , or even a knitted or crochet circles, It is not limited to paper craft

The challenge is 'CIRCLES'


I had a request to make a couple of Birthday Cards which i thought i would incorporate into the challenge for this post, One was very specific it  had to be green.
I saw the dimensions for the fold i m using in the February kit for "Uniquely Creative" monthly kit magazine. I make step cards normally but this just add a little bit extra to the mix Both cards end measurement is 5.50" square

I hope you like them

They use two pieces of card stock,  ( Fern and Toffee) which i matched so they could be used on both cards so it did not go into my card pieces box

The Green one is  made using Kaisercraft "Memory Lane" :- Frost,Tranquility (Reverse) Misty Rose (fussy cut flowers) and Mist Rose  (Reverse)    Pearls and Sticker Sheet  
Kaisercraft  Stitched Circle Dyes






The second card: i Used Kaisercraft Wildflower collection:- Flowering, Succulents (Reverse) Wooden flourish, Collectables and sticker Sheet,     Kaisercraft  Stitched Circle Dyes





Mystical Scrapbooks Cyber Crop Week end (Entries)

Morning All


Another weekend has passed us by, Much cooler weekend  overcast today although the weeks is expected to be in the high 30's.Cyber crop weekend for Mystical Scrapbooks
Colour Palette,  Tic Tac Toe and a sketch challenge.

https://mysticalscrapbooks.blogspot.com


Mystical Scrapbooks
I chose  Basically all the colours , Used Kaisercraft "Rose Avenue" :- Wooden Panels Reverse, as base Irreplaceable, Courtyard, Suite, and Patio
I stenciled using Kaisercraft "Weave stencil  with Modeling paste and black paint. (I love the grey effect it produced)

MY INTERPRETATION:







The second one i did was the sketch , I moved away from the Pinks as this month its been all about love and Valentine day


In this One I have used Kaisercraft "Lets Go" :- Fly away Reverse, Road Map, Sight seeing  and  Kaisercraft "Just Landed" :- World map.  the dyes where in a Bundle  pack from Kaisercraft. Red card stock to add some colour

Mystical Scrapbooks


MY INTERPRETATION:






The Final one was the  Tic Tac Toe  Challenge. I did struggle with this one as very Valentine themed.


I ended up going Nuvo drops, Patterned Paper and Die Cut Hearts
I used the last of my "Cottage Rose" collection and the Nuvo drops tended to be a bit tricky to get the size i wanted



Mystical Scrapbooks


MY INTERPRETATION:




 Just going to add the last page i did for the monthly challenge, which was to use Heart, Sequins or Confetti  and Paint or Misting.


This challenge contained to elements in it which i dislike Sequins or Confetti  and Paint or Misting.
I chose to use Sequins and Confetti  and Paint or Misting.  Sequins and Confetti way to tiny for me to see  and well Paint or Misting. Paint, i hate and the misting i took it outside to do and got it all over a white outdoor chair as it was so windy, lucky its water based so came off easily. I use Kaisercraft "Rose Avenue "


MY INTERPRETATION:

Book Week

Morning all 

Just wanted to share a layout i have completed for Kraft +  challenge 


 This month we want you to scrap about books and all things reading. It was hard to make a decision as to what to use for this challenge

I have chosen my granddaughter at Book week in her last year a primary school. Sophie had chosen to go as  "Alex" from Mind craft


Today I decided to share a few more photos as the main photo does not do the page justice. I decide i wanted this page as a book, which in my mind it does not show

MY INTERPRETATION:




SIDE VIEW WHICH SHOWS THE JOURNAL





BOTTOM VIEW:







I have  used

Kraft card stock as my Base
Kaiser craft "Story Book" Collection:-  Books, Pages Book Plate, Borrowed  and Sticker Sheet 
Kaisercraft "Scrap Studio" :- Coarse
Yellow Card stock
Kaisercraft 6" x 6" word stamp
Brilliance Cinnamon ink
Flowers from my stash as Book Mark

You are the Reason I smile every day (Maureen Wood) AUST

Afternoon all

On this Sunday afternoon when it can not make its mind up, where the sun is coming out or it wants to rain, nice breeze though.

Yesterday i was making  cards for my box as it is running very low, I wanted to use up a  some sayings i have had cut out for ever, (the paper is from 2016.) and ended up with a layout instead.

In the bag there was a full sheet of paper, lots of little cut pieces and a heart, must of cut it for some reason and not used it. After making up cards, i was left with the full sheet , a heart and some fussy cut pieces, I knew i seen a  challenge sketch with a heart on it, so went looking , found it. Decided i had enough bits to do the sketch and my page was born. Hope you like it   and no i do not have any pieces left used it all in my layers on my layout. I have written the instruction as if i was starting from Scratch as any colours could be used.
