Dragonfly Dreams ~ Guest Designer

I was delighted to be invited to be a Guest Designer for the Dragonfly Dreams May Challenge.  The theme this month is 'Die-Cuts'.

I decided to make a Joy Fold card, using one of my favourite set of sentiment dies, Stamp Market 'Paper Hug'.  The paper is from a paper pad from The Works.

There is a plain white panel inside to write the message.

Crafty Calendar Challenge ~ All White

The May Crafty Calendar Challenge begins today and the theme is 'All White', so we would love to see all your White on White creations.  Just a simple DT card today as it was the first one I made using mainly just my left hand after my little mishap, but I'm pleased how it turned out.  

 

I used a snippet of white card with a Darice embossing folder which I bought in a charity shop a while ago and this is its first outing. I attached a scrap of white hessian type ribbon to the embossed panel, which I had corner rounded.  The panel was then layered over the card blank which I had also corner rounded.  The sentiment was one I had already stamped from the Stampin’ Up ‘Humming Along’ set and I hand cut a mat from a white snippet to make it more rigid.  The sentiment was attached with foam pads to add some extra dimension.

The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th May and I'm looking forward to seeing all your All White creations.

Sneaking in a last minute card for the Rudolph Days Challenge.  I made a card HERE using the same image in purple.  I really liked how it turned out, so I made a CAS version.

The image and sentiment are from the Stampin' Up 'Dashing Deer' set and stamped with Versafine Clair 'Monarch'.  I used two shades of purple for the mats to match with the shade of purple in the image.  I finished off my card with three tiny clear gems.
