I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer over in The Playground this week. The challenge is to use snippets, I'm sure we've all got plenty of those!
If you've arrived from The Playground, you can skip this next bit as you've probably read it already. 😊
My good luck card
is made entirely from snippets, except for the card blank and sentiment
panel. The white embossed Creative Expressions 'Pawprint Lattice' background was even a snippet, although a fairly large one. Does anyone else have an overflowing drawer
of white snippets??? I’m sure they just
multiply when I’m not looking! The black
cat is a very old Sizzix die, matted and layered on MB ‘Stitched Octagon’ die
cuts. The four leaf clover ‘Clippunch’ punches I used come as a pack of two,
one punching out the shape and one punching out a ‘u’ shape in the middle of
the leaf, so it can be ‘clipped’ onto a separate piece of card. I know these two punches are at least 10
years old as I bought them on one of several visits to ‘Nellie Snellen’s’ shop
in the Netherlands. Did you notice that
I did a bit of name dropping there? If ever you get the
chance to visit her shop in Sevenum, it’s well worth a detour. If you’re lucky,
you may even get to meet Nellie serving behind the counter and discover what a
friendly and delightful crafter she is. There is even a lovely coffee shop
nearby, where you can deposit an uncrafty OH with their newspaper while you
shop!
Here are the punches I used. They can either be used together or the leaf can be used on its own for a complete shape.
You have another week to enter a snippets card HERE to be in with a chance of a lovely prize. The theme every fortnight is to use snippets, so I hope to see lots of your beautiful creations there.

What a cute card! I especially love the cat. Thanks for your kind comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card! That pawprint embossing folder looks amazing, I'm really surprised I've never seen it before. I think you may have done some "enabling"....

Double good luck with shamrocks and a black cat - great card for your guest designer spot in the Playground. Also I'd say that embossing folder was a lucky find to go with any animal theme.
ReplyDeleteFab good luck card Liz!

Hi Liz,
ReplyDeletecongrats on being a GD.
Your card is excellent, and wonderfully created as always.

Great to see you as GD over at the playground liz and this cards is the perfect snippets make. I love that pretty green clover and the soft green mats for the cute cat and the sentiment, and the embossing is beautiful in the background and very apt with the sweet little paw prints. x

ReplyDeleteI have never seen before this lovely punch set, such a shame it's an old release and surely retired.
