Good luck with your op

I made this card for a friend who was having an op a few days ago.  I wanted to wish her good luck before the op and thought this image would make her smile...... which it did!  I'm pleased to say that my friend is recovering well.

The digi stamp is Dr Digi's  'Night Nurse Nina' and was coloured with Promarkers.  I used a Presscut 'Centre Stepper Card' die for the card base.

Crafty Calendar Challenge

The Crafty Calendar Challenge begins today with the theme 'Cute and Girly'.  We are generously sponsored this month by Polkadoodles who also kindly gave the DT  images to work with,
I chose to use the beautiful 'Winnie at the Window' digi stamp, which I coloured with Promarkers.  The image and mat were die cut with dies from the Creative Expression 'Scallop Layered Squares' set.  The flower and leaves are Creative Expressions 'Petite Forget Me Nots' die cuts.

The challenge ends on 28th November and there are lots of DT projects on the Crafty Calendar Challenge blog for inspiration.  A randomly chosen winner will win a 3 digi stamps from Polkadoodles and the DT will choose a Top 3.

Deer Scene

Unusually for me, I've made a second post today.  Please scroll down to see this morning's post.  It's been raining all day, so a perfect day for staying in and making another card.

I had a wonderful surprise several days ago when a few of these beautiful deer scene die cuts arrived through the post from the lovely Loll.  I couldn't wait to start using them!  I added a few score lines around the edges to frame the scene.  I made the background with silver and two shades of blue Pixie Powders a while ago, waiting for the right opportunity to use it.  The snowflake was die cut with a Memory Box 'Twilight Snowflakes' die from the same Pixie Powder sheet I'd made.  The sentiment, stamped in Versafine 'Onyx Black', is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Perfectly Plaid' set. The framed image was raised up on foam tape to add dimension.

Another Never Ending Card

After making my first Never Ending Card for the Butterfly Challenge recently, I knew that this fold would be perfect for a card for my great nephew.  I've made him a few cards with different folds and he always likes to work out how I made them.  I set him the challenge of working out how I made this card.  When I see him again next week, I'll find out if he's succeeded! 

All the patterned paper was from a Dovecraft 'Blue Skies' paper pad.  I used dies from The Works for the numbers. 

As my great nephew lives near the coast, he often goes to the beach and is learning how to surf, so I decided on a beach theme.  Apart from the number die cuts, all the dies I used are 'Cut & Make' dies and the shells are punched.  I left a blank square for a handwritten birthday message.



All the navy and pale blue card was snippets, so I'll be off to share my card in the Playground.  If you've never made a Never Ending Card before, Mrs A has put some really easy to follow instructions HERE.
