March 2018 - Postcards (6x4)

 

Welcome everyone to our March Challenge.

Our theme this month is "Postcards" sized 6"x4", chosen by the lovely Sue

 

Sue

Good morning and happy Thursday. I'm really happy to be hosting this months challenge, and I've chosen a nice easy one for you - Postcards (6x4).

I was recently lucky enough to attend the Stitches trade show at the NEC, and I took a class with the lovely Raquel (Scrapcosy) She taught us loads of fab techniques and she and Leandra are more than happy for us to pass them on (though not as well as she did I'm afraid) There are more photo's over on my blog along with a link to Raquel's YouTube channel, so I would love to see you over there xx

 

Miriam

Happy St. David's Day.

What a great topic for this month's challenge.

Here is my first project for the month

Join me over on my blog  to see how I created this project.

Happy Crafting

I remember when 6"x4"(A6) was the ONLY size card I made... A great classic that I'm glad to re- visit with you today.

 

 

Come by my blog to see how I made this classic card with a classic motif!

I wonder if March will be in like a lion or a lamb...whatever it decides it is wonderful to welcome in the new month today with the promise of spring. For the fun new postcard challenge I made this very spring-like one.

However I did something different to my postcard afterwards...if you would like to find out what and also see how I made it just spring hop on over to my blog here . I will give you a clue...it involves photo corners 😂

Happy March and happy nearly spring,

Bye for now,

A Hipster Birthday

Good morning and happy Friday, it's nearly the weekend!. It's Sue here with my second 'anything except cute' piece and as I needed a 'man' card, I've raided  my Tim Holtz stash. Tim never lets me down, and he certainly wont in the foreseeable future - have you seen all the lovely stuff he keeps bringing out, I think I may have to go back to work! Anyway, here's my card.

There are a lot my pictures here on my blog. Have a very happy day, and thanks very much for looking x

More love in February

Hello it's Jane here with my 2nd project to hopefully inspire you to join our "anything but cute" February challenge  For this card I stayed with the "love" feel of February but rather than a Valentine's card I designed a general non cute love card.

I made a metal background using aluminium tape...if you would like to see how I did this just pop over to my blog here where I will  foil  share my process with you. Remember that February is a short month so you only have 1 more week to enter and possibly win the £20 crafting voucher to stock up on all the fab new products that have been arriving on the Country View craft website. 

Bye for now,

Green and gold
