Tigers

A fairly quick card made using snippets.  It turned out nothing like the design I had in my head when I started!  

 

The patterned papers are from The Range.  I added some thin, green jute along the orange panel.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Rain Forest'.  I raised up the layered sentiment on foam pads.

I'll be sharing my card in the Snippets Playground and I remembered to take a photo of  my snippets. 😇 I didn't use the orange card in the end because I decided it was too bright.

Caravan Makes

I always take some cardmaking resources with me when we stay in our caravan in North Devon.  I also keep basic craft tools etc in the caravan so I'm ready to go if we get bad weather.  These are two of the cards I made on a rainy day during one of our holidays.

The patterned papers are from The Works.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stamping Up 'Humming Along' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'.  The flowers are Sue Wilson's 'Petite Dianthus' die cuts with tiny pearls in the centres.  I bought the die set from a charity shop and this was its first outing.

Crafty Catz Challenge #689 ~ Anything Goes + Add a sentiment

We stayed in our caravan last week and had a lovely long walk along the beach at Westward Ho!. (Do you know that Westward Ho! the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark as part of its name?  It's also named after a book by Charles Kingsley.) I took this picture as a memory of the amazing patterns the sea leaves on the sand.

Crafty Calendar Challenge ~ More Than One Fold

The March Crafty Calendar Challenge begins today and the theme this month is 'More Than One Fold'.  I decided to make a Milk Carton Gift Box for my DT project.

The milk carton is made from one A4 sheet of card and the patterned papers are from The Works.  The flowers on all four sides were made with dies from the Creative Expressions  'Daisy Blossoms' set and I used a small bulldog clip to keep the box closed.

The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th March and there is a lovely prize for the randomly chosen winner.
