National Goof Off and National Dip and Chip Day

Hosted by Double Trouble Challenge

OK... so my husband and daughter think I am totally crazy - I am sure if we were on the planned holiday over in East Gippsland (of course we had to cancel) I could have got my granddaughters to play along...

Here they are some years ago playing with Hula Hoops - potato rings from the UK!

So I got a packet of Twisties and this is what I came up with...

Daffodils?

Daisies?

I will link these to the Fun Challenge at Double Trouble...

Clever Dexter April Challenge - Bunny Hop

CLEVER DEXTER CLEVERLY CONCOCTED CREATIONS!

This month we invite you to join in with

THEME: Bunny Hop

PALETTE: Orange, Turquoise, Pink, White (optional)

SPONSORED BY: Stampers Delights

Please visit the Clever Dexter Challenge Blog to find out more...

Here is my first inspirational make for this challenge:

This is a simple card using Kawaii Bunny Love coloured with Copics and cut out.

I started with a kraft card blank layered with a pink striped paper from my stash.
I added the image and another strip of another paper on which to put the sentiment.

I coloured the image and sentiment with Copics.
I had a bit of a disaster with this card - I had a new bottle of glue - I took the foil off but forgot to put the lid back on. Absentmindedly I tipped up the bottle - glue everywhere!! So the whole thing ended up a bit wet. Hopefully I can flatten it when it's dried...

Hope you will come and join us!!

Addicted to Stamps and More #383 Holiday

Here's my first make for April 2020 for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.

I recently moved from the UK to Australia - so I have gone straight from Spring to Autumn.
My son is harvesting his pumpkins...

This inspired me to make a Harvest card.

Recipe:

1. White square card blank.

2. Using my Cricut I cut the paper pieces to spell out the sentiment and pumpkin embellishment. (The svg came from Caluya Design)

Do pop over and see the makes from the rest of the team!!

Hope to see your make in the Challenge!!

Patterned Paper Challenge April 2020

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of
 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper

This is the prize for this month's challenge:

Dovecraft Curiosity Corner
6" x 6" designer paper pack
72 sheets
6 sheets of 12 designs

Today I have a tunnel card to share...

Recipe:

1. Using pink card and pages from Francheville Summer Life Paper Stack I designed, cut and scored all pieces of the tunnel card using my Cricut.
2. I added the rose embellishments in the first layer (part of a packet bought for 50c in the Salvos charity shop before they all closed)
3. Finally I added the Tim Holtz geometric heart die cut - this diecut I just happened to have in my diary...

Inside I added two more hearts using the dragonfly paper...
This base is a long piece of card scored and folded (with a bone folder) into three. My first heart was cut into the middle section of this.

Hope you will join the Patterned Paper Challenge!
