CCEE1613 Eiffel Tower Day

Bonjour, It is Challenge day with a French theme on CCEE Stampers Blog today.

According to the Days of the Year web site today is Eiffel Tower Day. So for our challenge this week let's celebrate all things Parisian …. It could be the Eiffel Tower, French Poodle; Berets; Champagne; Red, White & Blue Color Combo etc.

I am thinking of my daughter who is currently living in the England and is planing a holiday to Paris, it is hard when they are so far away and you miss them so much.

I friend recently showed me an idea when you have the most glorious designer paper but it is a bit thin to create a pivot card. Just fold the paper in half and using double sided tape the same width as the paper just stick the two halves together before die cutting.

I have used the Katie Pivot die for this card but you could use any pivot die for the same effect.
The Eiffel Tower on the front had been foam mounted and painted with the wink of Stella clear glitter pen. I also added the wink of Stella glitter to the images in the pivot panels.

Supplies:
Karen Burniston designs
Katie Label pivot card
Eiffel Tower pop stand

Penny Black, stamp set thinking of you, Copic pends, Wink of Stella glitter pen. foam tape.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.

CCEE 1439 national dog week

To finish up Lois's month of playing hostess on CCEE Stampers, we're going to celebrate National Dog Week by including a dog on our cards.

I must say I was not looking forward to this challenge, a few months ago we lost our beloved dog of 18 years in his memory I have made this card using the two Stampavie Xmas Puppies. At Christmas He would get together with my Mum's dog and tear into their gifts, although I think it was more the dog biscuits hidden in the wrapping that was more interesting than the gift.
All the dies I have used are from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Outdoor edges, stand up words, evergreen pivot, clouds from all seasons tree. to decorate the trees I have used the micro fine glitter and glitter stickers. 

 For the for the front of the card I started with the puppies and the outdoor edges to create a winter scene. It was then attached to the card with foam dots, the base card cut and decorated with the pivot evergreen trees.

Inside it is a winter scene continues with a combination of  all the dies.

Pop on over to CCEE Stampers to see what the other designers have come up with.
