Shape it up @ cd Sunday

Hi what a beautiful day 

The card  today is for the Cdsunday shape it up challenge

I had a few ideas but went with my bottle card 

I love my Winnie in wonderland cd 

And thought this shape was perfect 

With a drink me label around the neck of the bottle 

All the images,papers and labels were off the cd 

I used the bottle image to cut around on a DL card 

I added some silver leaf to the bottle top 

I've done lots of layers and added and old book page to

I used my distress ink around the papers 

It took all my will power not to add a white rabbit 

I love him so much 

Hope you like it 

Thank you for visiting 

Happy crafting

Have a foxy Christmas

Hi all 

Here's  a little foxy Christmas card 

I like to enter in winter wonderland use dies or punches
Oops I missed the dead line 😬

I used my stampin up fox punch 

And stamp set to create this card 

All stamps apart from the Santa hat are stampin up 

The Santa hat is from hobby arts eew stamp set 

I think he looks rather cute in his Santa hat 

The sentiment is a tonic die

As a stencil

Summer vacation

Morning from bright and sunny West Midlands 

As you can tell from my introduction I'm on the mend 

Seeing one of Pauline's post http://craftingwithcotnob.blogspot.co.uk///

I quickly caught the shops before closing 

To get the making cards magazine

As I was inspired by the free cd

And Pauline's amazing creations 

As I wanted to join in at http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

The theme being summer vacation 

After looking through the cd 

I feel in love with this image 

Takes me right back to long summers

In the garden at home or even the carvan parks we visited

I used some green lidl card to Matt and layer

All the papers are from the free cd called play time

Pearls and pin wheel from home bargains 

I even added a small image on the back of my card to finish it of 

And mirrored some of the lay out on the inside 

Enjoy the summer special if you have young one 

They grow far to quick

Having a hoot

Hi all 

Really wanted to join in at less is more 

The theme is repetition,

So I thought I'd get the owl punch out 

He's so much fun 

His eyes give him so much character 

I've used a DL card 

Embossed three squares 

And added then to a gold foil Matt 

Then added my three owls 

The one in the middle doesn't know we're to look 

I made him and he make me smile 

Inside the card I added an insert 

With the sentiment 

Have a hoot on your birthday 

Happy crafting

Today I have a Christmas card to share
Over at http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.co.uk/ 
The challenge is a #128 Christmas card
So after a little thought
Out came the foiling machine (laminator)
I designed the card on the docrafts digital designer

Printed on the toner printer
And foiled in gold

I found some gold thread
So I used it to rape the topper
Added a gold gem and some little ones
Matted on gold Mirri
