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.

I hope to be commenting on your entry!

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.
