Creative Folds - Surprise Pop Up Card







Paige has a great challenge at Holy Jolly Christmas Challenges this week, Creative Folds.  This is a great time to try one of those card folds you have seen on Split Coast Stampers or Pinterest and have another Christmas card completed for this year.

I chose the surprise pop up card pattern I found on Split Coast Stampers by Beate.  You can find the instructions here.  The image I chose for the card is by Fred, She Said Designs called Christmas Rosey.  Isn't he cute. 

This was a fun challenge and i hope you will join us.  If you need some inspiration just pop by the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge Blog and see the other creations the Chrismtas Elves have made this week to inspire you.

Colour Challenge

Cindy chose a colour challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week and the colours are Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise.  Don't those colours sound delicious.

Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor this week and this means a prize for one lucky winner.


Here is my card using this nice Bugaboo stamp called Dandelion Butterflies.    


I used a card fold called a twisted circular easel card which you can find the directions on Split Coast Stampers' site. I also used the following products; Diamond Glaze, several different die cuts, embossing folder, Copic Markers, Distress Ink, pearls and bling to create the card. 

Come join us at Come and Get It Challenges and create a card with these great colours.

Have a Fantasic Day

The challenge at Come and Get it Challenges this week is a window card.  I chose to use this sweet digi from Pollycraft Digital Images of a little girl swinging in a tree. I thought it was a nice image to do a window card with.
The design of my window card can be found on the Split Coast Stampers website. There are many different types of window cards and I chose this tent style card. 

I coloured my image with my Copic Markers, layered papers and made a few paper flowers in coordinating colours and added them to the card along with a butterfly. 

Thanks for stopping by and come join the fun at Come and Get it Challenges.

Come and Get It Challenges – Technique Challenge - Split Image


This week’s challenge at Come and Get Challenges is a technique challenge called Split Image. You can find the tutorial on how to do this technique on Split Coast Stampers’ web site.
The swallowtail butterfly by Stamp Oasis was used for the split image technique. I also used three different die cutters for the circle. Two die cutters were used for the outer circle and one to cut the center. The sentiment stamp is a discontinued Stampin Up rubber stamp. I added Japanese paper cord and bling to complete the card. 
Come and join the fun at Come and Get It Challenges.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day.
