A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge for January, #1-2020

HELLO!!  

Welcome to a whole new year (and decade) of crafting!

For this, the first challenge for 2020, we have TWO sponsors.  Bu

gaboo (for the very first time) and Charlies Stamps.

For more details on this challenge visit our host page A Perfect Time To Craft

I was lucky enough to work with a Bugaboo image, Frame It Red Wine

Now, I made this while away on my Christmas break.  I always take a very limited amount of craft items with me when I travel.  Fills in the blanks between naps (hahaha! ).  And since it was the silly season, I thought a wine tag was very appropriate for this image.  Very little colouring skills are needed so makes it perfect for anyone to use.  

If you would like to play along, please feel free.  You never know, you may just win an image or 2!

Also don't forget to check out the rest of the Design Team projects.  They are awesome!!

Last Minute Lucy

Last minute Lucy projects are those we have obviously left it a bit late to do.




I have made 2, both the same layout but just change the images and sentiments.

This way you can change the theme of the card for the person you are giving it too.  Some people are wine drinkers (not me) but some are a spirit drinker (yep, that is me!  lol)

The sets I used were SU Sip Sip Horray Bundle and MFT's Sassy Pants Holidays Too. The Holly images is from Heartfelt Creations.

Treat Container, Gifts and Ornaments

Hi all and welcome to another great week of inspiration. 

Here are the sneak peeks of peoples projects.

 

Today I share with you a little gem of an idea.  Not mine, but here is the link to the Youtube video  

Janas Paperdreams  done showing step by step.  I have added step by step photos below for reference too.   

The first step is to use a square piece of cardstock.  The grid mat shows you the sizes in cm's.  Each large square is 2 inches.  

Score it up and across in the centre.  Then diagonal on the top two squares.  

Cut up the middle from the bottom to the centre of the square as shown  

Then mountain and valley fold using the below picture as a guide.

The bottom 2 squares overlap.  Glue these together, like so, for the treat to sit on. 

Then I cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the card stock panels.  Cut this in half and adhere to the two top triangle pieces.  

I did mine a little similar to her but moved the sentiment and left off the little embellishment off the bow.  I can see these being made for weddings and other party events.  I  am making a few for our Christmas table (although in this Aussie heat the chocolate will melt fast!).

It is worth checking out some of these fantastic ideas.  Who knows, you may end up doing one for yourself!

Project three.  It is that time again.  This week we were to do a gift card//tag set.  I created a card with a little gift card pocket.  Nothing fancy this time around. 

I made a card that, seriously, could still pass for a Christmas one.  Just doesn't have all the frills of the silly season.  One for those that like to play it low key. 

The stamp set is from Ink On 3.  Card stock is from SU, and I coloured it all with Copic markers.  A shoe lovers delight! 

Don't forget to check out all the other amazing projects from the rest of the group.

I love how this turned out.  I went through my die and stamp stash to find things that would match this metal head.  

MFT Boss Babe (sentiment)

Sizzix Thinlits Mixed Media #3 (brick wall)

Memory Box Musical Motifs (obviiously the notes!  lol)

Copic markers

I seriously love this!  Don't forget to play along with the challenge for your chance to win the prize up for grabs.

Cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Mass Production Friendly

Fancy Fold or Mass Production Friendly
Welcome to another creative week of Christmas Inspiration.

This week as mentioned above it is a Fancy fold or mass production friendly project.  And as you know I love my pop up boxes.  And living in Australia we have a hard time finding some great Aussie themed Christmas cards.  We don't have snow here, we have sweat and sun...lol.
Uniquely Creative have some great stamps (with matching dies if you need) of some cute critters.  I received a request to make an Aussie themed pop up.  And this is what I came up with.

And a closer view.

This will definitely be in my stall for the Christmas of 2020.  I just love these images.
