Caz's Birthday Card!

Good Morning!

I am back with yet another fantastic style card from Elizabeth Craft Designs - this one is called Tag Pivot card and is designed by the super talented Karen Burniston who designs the most fabulous dies to make fun and creative cards so easily but with the wow factor!

This card was made for my friend Caz whose birthday was on Tuesday, so just knew I had to make a card with something fun and sweet on -so out came my Elzybells!!!!!

I just love this set, the sheep and chickies are super cute!!

As you can see a lot of fussy cutting was done on this card, I loved making it and it came out just how I wanted it to, not sure the sparkles are picked up that well but they are there!

I am a huge fan of Elzybells but unfortunately they do not trade anymore but I am sure I have pretty much all of the stamps and I can stand up proud and say I was an addict lol x

I also finished off the back of the card, along with a few more chickies they are just so sweet I love em!!

The papers are also a fave of mine and are the Crate paper -Kiss Kiss collection, think I need to stock up on these.

Hope you like and have yourself a great weekend!

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - April DC Team and Friends

Hullo Hullo,
Well today is a special day for me as my lovely talented friend Caz asked me if I would like to join her on this months Karen Burniston Designer Challenge as they were allowed to ask a friend!
Of all the crafty friends Caz could pick she chose 'lil ole me'  and that's basically when the drama started and the panic set in -sleepless nights and the self doubt!!!!!!
Only joking ha ha!!!
Caz is a wonderful friend and has a wicked sense of humour, not a day goes by without us having a real old belly laugh. She is also a true crafter through and through right to the core, I reckon if I chopped her in half she would have BORN TO CRAFT in the centre - just like a stick of rock!!

Well the challenge was to make an accordion card, and there are so so many fantastic styles of these fab cards, where on earth would I start..............well that was easy enough, die cut my accordion in KRAFT cardstock !!! (you knew that was coming!)
I am a big big fan of Kraft absolutely love it love it love it love it!!!!!
I was lucky enough to be given the rectangle die to complete the challenge (thank you so much) and I also decided to use the oval accordion together with it.

I decorated my accordion using the cute Elizabeth Craft Dies - Whiskers the Cat, Buster the Dog. and the Katie Star Frame edges and Oval Dot Frame edges.

A lot of bling has been added as every card needs some sparkle, poor old Buster he looks more like Barbara the dog with all that sparkle and bow in his hair - bless him lol !!!

Hope you like my card and if you fancy checking out the others that have contributed to this challenge please check them out at Caz's blog and you will find the links to the others in her sidebar.

Toodle pop!!!

Christmas Gingy!

 

Hi, I thought I would share my Christmas makes with you these were so much fun to create!

I do love anything Gingerbread man related I find them so cute!

I  used a Sizzix Die for the card base and a CottageCutz Gingerbread man, when you open the card the circle spins and you can then see the sentiment on the other side, love this style of card!

 I also made these great candy dispensers using the WRMK gift box punch board and filled them with M and M's. I followed a fab tutorial you really must give this a go. After I had made them I will be honest I didn't want to give them away lol x

The lovely papers were free with a magazine and wish I had bought a couple of magazines as loved the colours and designs.

You just unhook the hatch at the bottom of Gingy's feet and shake your candy out - it is such a clever little box!
