Day 8 G

 good morning all 

from Jacqui M

thought i will try to see  if loading in the mornings is better than my night time  to load my cards

today is the letter G  

G is for Ginger man 

they say ginger is very good if  you get travel sickness  but i dont like it that much,  just the same , avoid ginger biscuits and dont have ginger men houses in the house at Christmas 

so  have made a card it don't smell lol

i have just cut  the ginger man paper to  5.3/4 " X 4 inches to cover the card. then added a tag on top with foam tape, 

added  3 ginger men different sizes  to get them off my shelf and into post

have fun creating  today and every day

DAY 7 TODAY IS THE LETTER F

 GOOD EVENING 

here  today ive created a quick card as been out  most of the day, but will try to keep up 

so today letter is F 

 so my card is a  FIREPLACE   really had to think about  this one as in Australia in  Queensland  we don't have fireplaces  

my card is fairly simple tonight  using  green cardstock  then a lighter shade above, 

then patterned papers with poinsettias  on,  love these after gluing on i thought , gee hope i have some more for the letter P  but have a few days to look for some more papers in my stash

Jacqui M  letter F

lots of fun,  gets me to look for things and use up stuff  in my  shelves

non alphabet letters colours together - 6th November 2026

 Well day 6 of Beccys Card Challenge

                                               Jacqui M  - colour combo red, green and purple 

  today for a change we are not going with the alphabet instead using a colour palette

my chosen  colours are red, green and purple  what a combo  but will  see how we go .

  seeing there are colours i don't own  a lot , i   will just go with the flow as what i do have in my cupboards 

here i have   green cardstock which i ve trimmed to  8" x 6" then  scored at 4 "

next, i cut off 2" off one side, this maybe used for something else down the track

next i trimmed 1/34 "X 5.3/4 "  of red patterned papers from Lindy Lou paper collection  this is A4 and placed on the short  part of the front of the card

 next cut  green patterned paper to 3.1/2" X 5. 3/4" and place on the inside of your card at the right hand side so you can see both pretty papers

added xmas tree  to the left hand side .

seeing i needed purple to add to my mix  went though all my  purple cardstock  looking for the right shade

trimmed to  2 " x 3.1/2" and and glued  to the left hand side only . 

then added  merry Christmas  on top.

D IS FOR DOME AND DEER CARD CHALLENGE

 GOOD AFTERNOON ALL

With a day at home what can i do with the letter D  for Beccys Card Challenge  November 2026.

 

Today we are up to day 4  which is D 

i have lot of things that i need to  use instead of just admiring these  so why not get started 

1st  i have a  junk  journaling  book .  Looked for some  paper then saw the dome , perfect

just a standard   white card 5. 3/4" x 4 .1/4 "

trim patterned paper to 5.1/2" x 4"  tape in place 

cut out the dome and cut  out  across the line in the middle so that we can add  the deer.

the deer is from Bee Arty  Mini collection Woodland Wishes such a pretty range with lots of  cut  out  animals on 

i punched out with my circle punch. as i don't fuzzy cut much, if there's

a easier way  to do i do it  rather than  fussy cut and hurt my hand 

slide the bottom of the deer under the cut  section like hes in the snow.

i found December magic in the art journaling book perfect 

All start with  D  

having so much fun looking for things in my  room 

A is for Acetate

its been years since I've worked on challenges

but am going to try Beccy's November card challenge 2026 , now i  most likely miss days as i wont be in my craft room  but that's life  but some are better  than  none

A well acetate is my only thought as its on the table waiting to be put away why not use some of it 

i grabbed my  4" x 5 .3/4" card and with pencil and ruler measured, from  score line  1"  down  then  from the bottom edge 1 "  up cut off these  2 pieces

Acetate trim to  5.3/4" x 3. 5 inch and  glue  on  the inner side of card, 

add   the inch  cardstock back on  for strength then add  your 

trim 4 pieces of patterned papers  1 " x 5.3/4" and tape/ glue one on  the top and  one  at the bottom  then flip card and do the same on the other side  so you are hiding the edges of  the acetate.

  stamp your preferred  image and tape to the inside of your card

add title and  string bling  and place on the front of your card  

card complete.
