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

Do pop over and see my teamies fabulous makes!!

Here's my card:

It is a three dimensional pop out card. The birdhouse is suspended between the two pop out sections. A die cut tree is on the back board and in the front section. Several bird die cuts are on the back and front. To post the card folds flat.

Method:

1. Green card blank matted with DP from my stash and with a paper insert.

2. Next layer is a silver Tim Holtz Tree die with three birds on its branches (Craftstash die). 

3. The pop out section is made of two sections with circular apertures cut into them. These are also matted with the same DP. These fold into boxes with tabs that stick to the card base.

4. The birdhouse (Craftstash die) is suspended in the middle

5. Part of another silver tree is placed behind the frount circle and another bird added.
6. I added brads top left and down the sides of the pop out.

Hope I will see your make in the Challenge!

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

Here's my make for HIMCR #360 - Christmas Colours!

The sponsor is Fred She Said!

The giveaway is...!

I have made a card using  Poinsettia and Holly precoloured

In June I participated in the UK Stampers Network Crafty Retreat (CR2).
(Blog here)
Ina's workshop involved upcycling pictures from old calendars.
I used pictures from an England Calendar - we made a notebook and two cards.

I used the fold in this second card to make today's card.
Starting with a square white card blank, I folded the front back at the halfway make.
I matted the three sides formed with a paper from my stash.
I added images from the Poinsettia and Holly set to these.
Finally I added a folded band across the card decorated with more poinsettia.

Hope you will enter the Challenge!

Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Challenge #393 - Use twine or Ribbon

a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'Use twine or Ribbon'

Do pop over and see the inspiration from my teamies!

Here is my card:

I started with a small green rectangular card blank used in landscape.
I stamped the Noolibird stamp on a piece of green textured card, 
trimmed to a rectangle just smaller than the card blank.
I wrapped twine around this card, tied in a couple of places and attached to a small tag. This was cut using a Tim Holtz die and stamped with a small See D's stamp.
I then attached this card with dimensional tape.

I hope you will join the

Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media July Challenge

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

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!

I have added a month to my Mixed Media Calendar.
I have been making this for a several years now...

The base is a piece of plywood 'burned' with electricity

 as detailed here in my blog in November 2015.

I painted around the edge with black gesso.

I added square cards using rings at the top.

These cards will flip over for successive months.

I added a calendar pad at the bottom.

For this July my card has a circle of newspaper pieces.
I was inspired by some artwork by Jiri Kolar that I saw in the Prague National Gallery, which I visited a fortnight ago when I was on holiday in Prague.

I arranged circles of circular pieces cut from a newspaper and then covered them with a border of yellow card which had had a circle die cut from it.

On this circle I placed a rectangle of purple - on this I added an oval of yellow from which I had cut July - a Tim Holtz die.

Finally I added the man with umbrella (Tim Holtz die) and the sun - an unbranded die.

Hope you will join the challenge!!
