Caring Hearts Christmas cards 2019

For several years I have been making cards for Caring Hearts card drive....handmade Christmas cards that distributed to residents of nursing homes internstionally.
I work with several groups to make cards for nursing homes in Australia. This year here are the cards I designed and put kits together for them to make.
Glossy paper, Distress Oxide inks, Kaszazz Christmas Bell die (or Merry Christmas die not shown) and stamp from stash.
 Another....just love this technique.
 Impression Obsession die and stamp from stash.
Washi Tape and ornament punch.
Embossing folder, die and stamps from a magazine.  
Thanks to all who contributed in making these cards and others that they gave me for the drive. A special thank you to a friend for donating the supply of coloured cards and envelopes that we used...a fantastic contribution. Another shout out to my sister for the donation of washi tape we used.
These cards were suitable for makers with varying experience in cardmaking. Everyone had a great time making them and knowing that cards would be going to make Christmas a lot happier for others.
Thank you for looking.
Margaret

Update 27/10/2019 - 200 cards will be forwarded to the Australian Co-ordinator...thanks to all who contributed.

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
