Double vertical stepper
Hi Crafting friends,
My card today is for the challenge on the CCEE Stampers blog. Kelly is the hostess this month.
Today is International Toy Testing Day ~
show us your cards with a toy/toys on them!
I have be spending some time looking at youtube videos made by Sam Calcott - Mixed up craft
I found this one I had to try a double vertical stepper I first saw the 7 x 5 but I made mine 6 x 6 then I found the video Sam had made of the 6x6.
I had a pack of designer paper K & Company with a few pages of diecuts. The Christmas tree fitted perfectly in the center. I added the Lawn Fawn Holidays Helpers for this Christmas card.

Penguin Step Fold card.
Today on the CCEE Stampers blog the Design team are sharing their cards with Penguins.
It's Penguin Awareness Day. Put a penguin or two on your card.
I made this step fold card with my scoring board. The base card folds flat for postage, the front panel is sized to suit the stamp that I have used. I dug through my supplies for a penguin stamp and found this clear stamp from Stampavie. It is never to early to start you stash of Christmas cards. I am not sure if the stamp set is still available somewhere. The sentiments and banner die is from Lawn Fawn.

Christmas Lantern
Hi Crafting Friends
It is time for the last challenge of the month with the team on Crazy4Challenges.
Let’s add some texture with a dimensional liquid or paste element on your card. Some examples are texture, crackle, molding or embossing paste, glass bead gel, Liquid Pearls, Nuvo Mousse, Nuvo drops, Crystal Glaze or Glossy Accents (used dimensionally rather than as a glue).
I created the back ground using the brick stencil and sponging on various inks, while the stencil was in place I added transparent matte texture paste in certain places for a distressed wall.
While it was drying I assembled the die cut elements. Once the background was dry I added the die cut elements to make a scene.

Thanks for Looking ........

Music Month
This is my card for challenge CCEE2139 on the CCEE Stampers Blog.

Thread the needle
Today on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog is the C4C594 challenge.
Tomorrow will be Thread the Needle Day. For our challenge this week incorporate the theme "Sewing" into our cards. Use sewing theme images/words; Sewing themed patterned papers or actually sewing of any type on your cards.
I use the quilted backdrop die with some designer paper for the background. I found this die in my stash, when this die first came out it had some matching bead stickers. I stamped the image onto the background and onto white card, after colouring it in, I cut it out and using foam tape squares I placed it over the background one.

In the right Direction
My card today is for the CCEE Stampers blog challenge CCEE2121.
Maybe this year can mean a road trip!! May 28th is National Road Trip day!! Your creation might include a map, a wonderful scene, or an exhausting shopping spree to a great out of town spot you haven't ventured to inn quite some time. You might want to include the car if you would like on your card. Have fun, and if a road try is still not on your agenda, take a virtual one in your imagination.
I haves used designer paper and Lawn Fawn stamps for my card for this challenge.

Shaking it up
Hi Crafting Friends,
My card today is made for the CCEE Stampers blog design team challenge.
Wrap It Up! For this challenge make use of the Christmas wrapping paper of your choice as a part of your holiday design. Grab up some paper scraps from your gift-wrapping adventures and join us in this week's challenge.
I found this leftover roll of wrapping paper is the cupboard. I thought the stars would make a good night time background. I don't know about you but when I have to buy wrapping paper I always choose one that I can repurpose for card ideas.
It has been sometime since I made a shaker card, I am trying out the Lawn Fawn snow globe scenes and the snow globe scene shaker die for my focal point.
I wasn't sure that I wanted a sentiment so I added the the die cut Santa & sleigh, On Blitzen from Ultimate crafts.
