Guest Bar-Tender

Today I'm a guest designer with Raise The Bar
Where the challenge theme is
 "Give Thanks"
 
 
For my card I inked up one of my new LCI stamps,
Guilty Jack,
 If you fancy owning him, he is available along with many other LCI Cling Stamps at 70% off, what a bargain, I think that makes him around £2???

Milk Coffee, Thank you,
CFAS40, Thank you,
CB157, Thanks,
FBC123, Thankful,

Snowflakes

Happy Tuesday!!!!!
The Ladybugs have a new theme today and this fortnight the hostess is Diane who wants to see  "Snowflakes"
 
 


Kerry gave each of the Ladybugs an acetate box to have a play with. I coloured my Mr and Mrs Snowman Delight, paperpiecing their hats and scarves.
 





I then covered 4x35g bars of chocolate to go inside, layering the papers and embossing the pearlescent white paper..
 



 
Green & Black's Organic Milk Chocolate  35g

I think this would make a perfect stocking gift or teacher's gift, coming out at under £4 for the four bars and the acetate box.
 



 
 
Here are the sizes and prices for the clear boxes in inches as they will be on the website...

4 1/8" x 4 1/16" x 1" - 45p each
5 5/8" x 5 1/2" x 1" - 60p each
4 7/8" x 6 5/8" x 1" - 60p each
6 1/8" x 6 1/16" x 1" - 70p each
4 1/2" x 5 7/8" x 1" - 60p each

 
I'm using this gift for the following challenges:-

A Break From The Patchwork

 
I thought I'd give you a break from the patchwork and share my husband's Birthday card. I used my Marij Rahder Stamp for the birds and drew and cut a tiny birthday crown from Kraft paper. The cream was embossed using a star folder, I pierced the edges using a pattern maker tool and tied twine around it before adding it to the card front.
 
 

 
The heart was cut using Plantins Schoolbook on the Cricut.


 
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
DBD61, Anything goes, 
PPC102, Anything goes,
OBGC, Anything but Christmas,(Marij Rahder Stamp)
CMC7, Embossing,
CFM, Anything goes,
FFC49, Twine or ribbon,
MIM115, Anything goes,
TTT89, Heart.

Patchwork Part 2

 
Here comes another, lol! I just love this patchwork look at the mo, I haven't the patience for the real, work of art stitching kind, just the snippets of paper kind, I hope you approve as I think there could be a few more making their way to my posts. I should have taken a side view here as the scalloped circle frame is popped up on 3D pads. I should have thought it through a bit better, all those individual papers to create the patchwork scalloped frame, worth it I think but when I was tidying up after I had one of those lightbulb moments, now I can't wait to try it out as I'm sure it'll be quicker than the method I used.
 
 


I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
AGCB80, Stitches,
CRC, Punches and diecuts,
OBAGC, Anything but Christmas,(Old Punch)
Papertake Weekly, Flower Power,
TTCD44, Anything goes,
CC79, More than one punch or diecut,
TA40, Anything goes,
MIM 115, Anything goes,
TPE 174, Diecuts and punches.
