Blue Christmas

It is time to for this weeks challenge on the Crazy4challenge blog. Design team member Frances has asked that we make a card with die cuts only.

Create a card that is created using dies only, no stamps. If you must, you can use a stamp for the sentiment, but bonus points if you use dies.

I made my card using DCWV pattern designer paper pack. and dies from Newton's Nook.

Marching Band

                                              Hi Crafting Friends

Today I am joining the design team on Crazy 4 Challenges blog as the hostess for March.

Apparently today is Marching Band Day, I am asking that you  celebrate it by creating a card using this theme.

To make my card I have used the Newton's Nook designs - The nutcracker squeak stamp set. I stamped the center image and masked it and then stamped the other images masking as I went. I then fussy cut them out and layered them onto foam tape. I stamped the instruments onto the designer paper to create the background. I added the instruments to the mice with foam tape to create a 3D look. My card measures 13 x 10.5 centimeters when completed.

Life Changes

Today is the first challenge for this year with the CCEE Stampers blog design team.

Life Changes The new year usually means New Year’s Resolutions. For today’s challenge I would like for your card to feature something that you could add to or subtract from your life to improve the quality of your physical or mental health. This can be tongue-in-cheek or the real deal. You decide

I have been wanting to add some yoga to my life to help me with joint stiffness and flexibility and if I can lose a few kilograms, I will feel so much better.

I love this cute little frogs in yoga poses. I added distress oxide backgrounds to the panels of the slimline die.

Supplies: Stampendous frog yoga stamps, Newton's Nook designs slimline die, Distress oxide inks - blueprint sketch, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron.
