Hiding in My Craft Room #352 Super Scraps Saturday


Do pop over and see the inspiration from my teamies!!

This is my card for HIMCR #352 - Super Scraps Saturday!


The sponsor is Fred She Said!

Fred She Said Designs



The giveaway is $10 Gift Certificate to Fred She Said!

I started with a white card blank matted with a pink wood effect paper.
I added a couple of scraps of washi (from Paperchase) to this before sticking it in place.
I added the precoloured image having printed it and cut it out with an oval nesting die.
The image is Dogwood Branch
I then found scraps of pink and pale blue and cut out a small oval and 'hello' - the latter is a die from the Tonic ATC Collection - and added these top right.


Hope you will join the Challenge!

Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Challenge #385 - Add at least one tree


a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge
with the theme 'Add at least one tree'

Do pop over and see the inspiration from my teamies!

Here is my card:



This pop-up tree card is based on an idea I saw on the internet - I am always looking out for designs that might be good to use with kids...
I started with a 6 by 8 inch cream card base and cut out squares of green card with sides 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.5 inches. I folded each square in half and then the outside corners down to form triangles. These were then adhered in place to form a tree with a star at the top and a pot for it to stand in (two hearts that were lying on my table).
Finally I added some gems.

Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with Dies - May Challenge


Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

Here is my inspiration for Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies Challenge


Do pop over and see my teamies fabulous makes!!




A few weeks ago my friend Mary sent me a super present...


From Stampin Up, the Barn Door Stamp Set  and the Sliding Door Framelits Dies.

She also included this card made with the sets...


I couldn't wait to play with the dies and stamps - but I went off to Australia for a couple of weeks - so it is only now that I had a go!
I started with a white card blank, cut it into a 'house' shape and matted it with some papers from my stash.
I stamped several stamps on red and green card and die cut them. The sentiments were punched with an oval punch.
The door and the card behind the door were pieces sent by Mary. 
I stamped the gate and die cut it and assembled the gate on dimensionals to it would slide along the die cut channels.
Finally I added the black details.





Hope I will see your make in the Challenge!

Happy Crafting!
