Allsorts Challenge ~ All Creatures Great and Small

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Brenda has chosen the theme 'All Creatures Great and Small'.  For my DT card, I've made a Hexagon Pop-Up card.... you can find the instructions for making this style of card HERE.

The patterned paper is from The Works.  There are seven different little mice on the card, all Lavinia stamps.... 'Double Trouble', 'Basil and Bibi', 'Tilly and Tango', 'Minni and Moo'.  I added some sparkle to the lightbulb and lamp with a gold Wink of Stella glitter pen.  The sentiment is also a Lavinia stamp from the 'Heartfelt Verses' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'.  The card folds flat for posting.

There are 2 prizes of stamps, stickers and scenescapes from Lavinia Stamps (photos not to scale) for the lucky randomly chosen winners. Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.

Snoopy Tag

I rarely buy craft magazines, but I couldn't resist the current Creative Stamping Magazine.  It had a set of 'Peanuts' Christmas stamps as the cover gift and I used two stamps on my tag.  I made this tag today so I could enter the Tag-Along (and ATCs) Challenge, but realised too late that the challenge ended earlier today.  

The tag shape was made with a Stampin' Up punch and I used a corner rounder for the right hand side of the tag.  The image and sentiment were stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne' and I coloured the image with Promarkers.  I finished off my tag with a piece of red and white grosgrain ribbon.

Twisted Easel Card

I made this twisted easel card for a card swap, which I can post on my blog now that I know it's been received.

I used snippets from a patterned paper pad from The Works.    The butterfly is a new die from the  Craft Addition 'Wings of Elegance' set, using the same patterned paper as I used on the base of the card,  The circles and scalloped circles are all Memory Box die cuts.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Whimsical Friends' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Advocado'.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Embossing, heat or dry

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lynne has chosen the theme 'Embossing - heat or dry'.

Adding texture using an embossing folder is one of my favourite ways of adding texture.  For my card I've used Lisa Horton 3D 'Sunflower' embossing folder.  The strip of ribbon was bought ages ago...... I couldn't resist it as it has sunflowers on it.  I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but it seemed perfect for this card.  The sentiment is raised up on foam pads to add some more dimension.

There is a prize of a die, embossing folder and layering stencil bundle from Lisa Horton Crafts for the lucky randomly chosen winner.
