Bizzy Bec's Mid-July inspiration
I could not wait to have a go at my new purchase from Bizzy Bec's. I had it on pre-order and it arrived quicker than I thought. I was a bit daunted by the size when I first got it, but the cuteness overtook any apprehension I had.
I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I purchased some of the Art Expressions matchbook collection.
They are the cutest. I purchased the Matchbooks envelope dies, Matchbooks Template dies, Matchbooks Stamp and Die set - Garden and being a cat lover had to grab the Cat Accessories Stamp and die set.
I must admit I wondered where to start, then I decided to check out the Art Impressions You Tube videos on Matchbooks . I watched it until I got the gist then I jumped right in and here is the result.
Art Impressions Matchbook products used Matchbooks envelope dies, Matchbooks Template dies Matchbooks Stamp and Die set - Garden Cat Accessories Stamp and die set These matchbooks and envelopes are the cutest. I hope you will check them out in the shop, I do think they could become a bit addictive and such a cute little gift to add to a card. All you have to do is openthe little envelope and fluff up the matchbook when you open it and there you have it - a cute little scene. Don't forget to check out our Blog challenge. I hope to be commenting on your entry! Shop https://www.bizzybecscardmakingscrapbooking.com.au/ |

Bizzy Bec's July Blog Challenge
It's time again for the Bizzy Bec's "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge. It's July and what do we think of then - Christmas in July. I have made a Christmas card featuring "Little Santa with Letter".
I received my order from Bizzy Bec's a couple of days ago. I sort of went a bit berserk in the Sale, so I decided to play with my Elizabeth Craft Berry Branch die that I have been eyeing off for ages and the Altenew 3D Perfect Poinsettias Embossing folder. I think I must have bought the last one, but I know there are still heaps of these 3D embossing folders to pre-order in the shop. The Altenew folders definitely produce a beautiful 3D effect. I have also used some Mini Envelopes.

Love Combining my Digital Stash
I hope the digital artists I buy from don't mind me combining their images and drawings because I love coming up with ideas to merge them together on a card.
I found a great image in my Gecko Galz images - Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. I then decided to put a frame around them. Gene and Judy are part of the 2022 Kit Club - February (Vintage Love Kit 2). The frame is part of the Vintage Frames Craft Kit.
I used a 6" square card and some white wash woodwork designer paper. I also knew I had a SheepSki Designs image Daisy Panel that would go perfectly with this scene and of course a few daisies from my stash.

Morgan's ArtWorld July 2022 Blog Challenge
This month's blog challenge is "Anything Goes". I have created a birthday using Flower Butterfly Border Greyscale and Butterflies 2.
I changed the colour of the Flower Butterfly Border to green and then dusted it with some old green eye shadow. I mounted Butterflies 2 on mounting tape and added butterflies from Gecko Galz. All images are coloured with pencils.

SheepSki Designs July Blog Challenge
Our July Blog Challenge optional theme is "Christmas in July". I used a square white card base and a SU designer sheet from a 6 x 6 pad, a tree brad, a bauble from Scrapmatts and the envelopes are from Bizzy Bec's. I have coloured the snow with a Posca Pen and added a Wink of Stella here and there.
Of course, the image is "Christmas Post Box" from SheepSki Designs. It is coloured with pencils.
