Flopsie Bunny

This is a card I made using my Polka Doodles Paper Boutique Volume 1 CD, this is really out of my comfort zone, usually I only make 6 inch square cards but I felt like a challenge and in the end I quite enjoyed myself.  The only problem is I now need to make a box to put it in and I'm notoriously lazy about making boxes.

I have lined the inside of the card with papers from the CD and added a label to write a sentiment on.

The back of the card is also decorated and I just love the little fluffy tail.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog Challenge 84  - Anything Goes

Paper Sundaes Challenge 88 - Anything Goes

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge 91 - A hard theme! (It was certainly hard for me not making a standard 6 inch card)

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays  - Favourite Colour- Pink (on inside of card and the little heart)

Birthday Cupcake

Hi all, I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, mine was quiet but nice, plenty of time for crafting.  I'm trying to get lots of Christmas cards ready for the Christmas Fair I've managed to get a table at.

This is another card that I made for my son to give to a friend for her birthday, I've never known a boy be invited to so many birthday parties.

Both the image and papers are from The Paper Shelter, I used core'dinations card stock and some flowers from my stash.  The border and corner are both Marianne CreaTables dies.

As usual I decorated the inside of the card to match the front

Image and Papers:  The Paper Shelter - Birthday Cupcake

Christmas Fun

Good afternoon, I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned, I'm going to have a quiet one this week to make up for last weeks busy one.

I have made this card to enter into this months Crafter's Companion challenge and the theme this time is Christmas Wishes.  I thought I would try something different from the usual square card that I normally make, big mistake, I just don't seem to be able to get the proportions right for anything else any more.

Anyway this is my card

I used the Humphrey Christmas Decoupage kit, I do love these cute Humphrey images and I seem to be doing more and more decoupage at the moment, the papers are also part of the kit.  I used my favourite Core'dinations Whitewash for the base and also embossed a rectangle using a Darice embossing folder.  I die cut a sentiment label, added some ribbon and some snowflakes from my stash.

This inside of my card has also been decorated.

Image and Papers: Crafter's Companion - Humphrey Christmas Kit

Card Stock:  Core'dinations Whitewash 

Tools:  Crafter's Companion - Darice Embossing Folder, Spellbinders - Ribbon Tag Trio and Classic Squares (inside card)

Embellishments:  ribbon and snowflakes from stash

Sentiment: Joanna Sheen - House Mouse

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafter's Companion Challenge 15 - Christmas Wishes
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Creature Comforts
Mark's Finest Papers Challenge Week 24 - Things with Wings (there are lots of little birds flying around the bird table)
