I made this card for a challenge theme "Congratulations. "
Hi Crafty Friends
I have another challenge card this week for the CCEE Stampers challenge.
Receiving cards is so much fun, a fun fold card with a wow factor gives so much joy to the recipient.
Create a card with more than a center fold. Think of a easel, pop-up, center step or shutter card.
I recently joined a friend at her card class, they have been finding inspiration from online tutorials. This one is from Sam Calcott's Made to surprise site called the Double Interlocking Concertina.
I made my card to fit in the Australian standard envelope. The size worked really well with the 6 x6 paper pack.
Hi Crafty Friends,
This month on the CCEE Stampers Blog I will be the hostess bring you the challenges.
According to the days of the year calendar, it is walk your dog week. Walk you dog week is a week holiday dedicated to bringing your dog a healthier lifestyle. Make a card with your furry friend in mind.
On the front of my card today I thought I would use a wobble spring behind the head of the puppy, just a bit of interactive fun on this card. I folded the card base and added designer paper on the front and on the inside. I used a die for the grass and the sentiment banner.
Today is Punch the Clock Day. Put
something time-related on your card (a clock, a watch, a calendar, etc.). If you don’t have any of those things, make a
birthday card – that’s time-related!
This week on CCEE Stampers blog we have been asked to share a family Christmas Traditions.
Lynn says if your family is like mine, there are certain family traditions that show up at each of your Christmas celebrations together. I am challenging each of the CCEE Stampers and their fans to create a holiday card which depicts on the front of his/her design a favorite or an unusual Christmas tradition shared by family members each and every year.
I don't think ours is that unusual and I guess it is not something that we have done regularly since the girls have grown, but having one with a December birthday her request was always to go out and see the Christmas lights around the neighbor hood.
I remember one year especially when one street really got into the spirit and they closed the street so you had to go out and walk to see the lights. One house had a live Santa Claus that you could go and see and ask for your Christmas wish. This was a special Santa as he knew my Daughter's name and that it was her birthday, the look on the then 5 year old face was priceless. ( I only found out the next day that he was really one of the dads at her pre-school)
The moment I saw Karen Burniston do the double high tag tutorial a few weeks ago and I knew as soon as I had the time I just wanted to give it a try.
I followed Karen's tutorial on how to use her Tag Book pop-up die to create the double high tag book.
I found these small antique photographs in my stash, just perfect for today's challenge on the CCEE Stampers Blog.
CCEE2132: Apparently today is Photography Day. For our challenge this week include something on your card that is photographic related … a photo/photos; images of photos, cameras etc.
I decorated the front of the card with some of the small tags is the die set and added the fabric flower, pearls and photograph and the sentiment.
When you open the card out pops the photo wall of memories. To create the border frames I used the rectangle frame from the slim frames die set just cutting it to suit the size of the photos. The hanging ropes were made form the decorating edges in the tag book die set.
Supplies:
Karen Burniston - 1150 Slim Frames, 1123 Tag book pop -up
Kaisercraft - sentiment

Hi Crafting Friends,
My card today is for the CCEE Stampers blog design challenge.
According to the Days of the Year Calendar, September is Mushroom Month. So for our challenge this week, include one or more mushroom either stamped or die cut on your creation.
I don't seem to have enough time to play inks as much as I'd like, so for this challenge I have used Distress Oxide inks with the glass mat to create the background.
I bought a stamp set from Kaisercraft, that I thought had some good fill in elements, for this card I ave used the sentiment and the larger mushrooms. I then sponges and area to ground the mushrooms and added the small slender mushrooms. I position the large fairy on the mushroom and add the winter berries as foliage. I die cut a piece of acetate to use as a template for a moon stencil and shaded around the edges. Lastly I added some white gel pen highlights on the berries and mushrooms and some Nuvo shimmer pen highlights, around the moon and on the fairy wings, which really don't show in the photo but a nice in real life.
