Another go at TicTacToe

I couldn’t resist another go on the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge this week.
This time I’ve gone for Scallops, Green and Stripes.

The stripes are just about visible behind the green and I’ve used scallops to under line the sentiment.
I really love this stamp for Polar Party….can you tell?  The sentiment is from the Curly Cute  stamp set which has a sentiment for most occasions.  Check it out in the online catalogue in my side bar.
Hope you like it!  I am going to try and give this stamp a rest now…..I don’t want to bore you all!  But I do love it!

A Big Bunny Thank you

We had a bit of a bunny nightmare over the weekend.  It looks like we accidentally left the rabbit hutch open and our bunnies decided to go exploring!  Rocky, not being the adventurous type was just knocking around the garden, but Frank, being more of an explorer was long gone!  After checking all the neighbours gardens and calling the vets we were just making some leaflets when we got the call….someone had taken him in to the vets!  How lucky is that!  So to say thank you to Lauren and Janie I made these bunny thank you cards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve had these stamps for ages. They are Joanna Sheen’s Messy Rabbit (I think!).  They’re perfect for all bunny occasions :-).  I coloured him in (just like Frank) and 3D’d him over a row of tulips.

The sentiment is from the Curly Cute Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up.

Needless to say, the hutch is now fortified with better locks.  Frank and Rocky won’t be going walkabouts unsupervised again!

I’m entering these in to the following challenges:

From one Pink Monster to Another….

Morning all….

Just heading up to Darlington for my little niece’s birthday.  She’s 5 today and her party starts at 3 so best get our skates on!!

I didn’t want to go without checking out the Less is More challenge this week though…and guess what?  Lady and Diva Lim have an Anything CAS goes this week!!  Yay!

I’ve made this lovely pink photo card for Emilia (that’s her in the pink.  The other little monster is my Annie).  I’ve embellished it with a little Melon Mambo dotty paper and a couple of cute monsters from the Make a Monster stamp set from Stampin’ Up…coloured in by Annie!  I’ve finished it with a happy birthday sentiment from Curly Cute and the message inside…? “Happy Birthday to one Pink Monster from another”.

I think this is still CAS….even though it is very pink!  It has Pink Space!

Right….off we go!  More Craft Room updates later…..it’s taking much longer than we wanted it to! *sigh*

More than one fold

Morning all!  It’s been a while since I’ve made a morning post!  I actually made this card last night….inspired by Phill’s class….but waited for the morning to take the pics!

To make the card I’ve cut an A3 sheet of card in half lengthways.  I’ve measured along the long side and scored and folded at 14.5cm and 29cm.  I’ve then folded the front flap back on itself to create the front step part of the card.

I’ve matted Baja Breeze card with the Elegant Soiree papers from Stampin’ Up!, using two different patterns to give a contrast.  The image (one of my favourites from Lotv) is matted onto baja breeze too and then 3d’d on to the back fold of the card.  I’ve coloured Whisper White ribbon using a Stampin’ Write marker to get the exact Baja Breeze colour and tied this to the top of the back fold.

I’ve used the scallop trim punch on Baja Breeze CS and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso.  The ‘Congratulations’ sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set.  This is a brilliant set because the sentiments are a good size and include ‘Thank You’, ‘Season’s Greetings’, ‘Happy Birthday’ and ‘Thank You’.  Well worth its £16.95 price tag.  Finally I’ve embellished it with some cute little flowers.

So…all in all, quite a simple card to make….but it looks very elegant!

I’m entering this card in the following challenges:
