| The view from my craft room...so lovely. |
Hello, I'm Janet, and I'm The Contented Crafter. I'm new to this blog malarkey, so I think I'll stick to my tried and trusted method of Making It Up As I Go Along, and see what happens!
I've been card making for about 10 years, since my Lovely Daughter wanted me to make her wedding invitations.We moved to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales earlier this year, and I simply want to share the cards I make.
First up, a pop up box card that I intend to enter for the Seven Hills Crafts monthly challenge.
The theme is "your favourite Christmas film, song or carol", using at least one item bought from Seven Hills.
I've used MFT Jingle All The Way stamps and dies, and coloured the images with Copics - looove Copics - The sentiment is Paper Smooches, stamped with Brilliance ink on vellum, and the musical notes are a Memory Box die. A Martha Stewart punch provided the holly leaves. Santa is, of course, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. And no, it didn't all come from SHC, I have no pride when it comes to buying card making stuff, and will acquire things from wherever I can!
You are right, I am lovely :-) Your cards are amazing mum and deserve to be shared with the world!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super make, Janet! I love the creativity of a box card, and this one is so festive and cheerful. The sheet music makes a fab backdrop to the other elements. Congrats also on your first blog post! Thanks so much for joining us at Seven Hills Crafts this month and I hope we see you again next year when our challenges re-start :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! First lesson learned though, box cards are a devil to photograph! It's my first entry into a challenge, too, although I aim to join you every month - is it too soon to make a New Years resolution?
DeleteWhat a fabulous pop up card! Love the scene, they look like they are having great fun :) Thank you for joining us at the Seven Hills Crafts Challenge this month.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! There are some wonderful cards entered, I'm playing for fun, to keep in touch with other crafter's, and just share.
DeleteI love you pop up box! Scene and design is awesome;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, they are great fun to make, too x
DeleteLove this card and looove the view from your craft room. Only slightly jealous ;) Congrats on starting a blog. I really need to start one for the shop. Maybe a new years resolution?
ReplyDeleteHello Jess! Thankyou! Artworks definitely needs a blog, go for it!
