Winter Wonderland Challenge blog theme Animals

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Here is a second blog post from me today. I am hosting the new challenge on the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog and I have chosen the theme of Animals. The Sponsor is Pink Gems Designs.

I chose the image to use it is so cute. I knew I wanted to use my Snowflake embossing folder. I also used the Winter Trees and Santa's Sleigh die sets from Creative Expression. 

There are many cute images and card topper in the store if you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This image is called Hedgy with Snowflake and is available HERE.  I used the PNG version of the pre-coloured image which meat that I could create my own oval background on the computer. I used my ScanNCut to make the mats for the image. 

The Santa Sleigh die comes with two reindeer I cut another two to fill the space. 

This is a Tattered Lace die it is a good size to fit into small spaces. 

Have a great Easter.

Safari Friends Birthday card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going. Yesterday we went to see Sister Act at the theatre it was brilliant. Today I have been on a school trip to look at rivers in the New Forest ( this will be my last ever school trip). I am a bit tired and a bit behind with things. Hopefully I will be able to catch up over the rest of the week.

I could resist buying issue 145 of Papercraft Essentials magazine with its Animal Friends embossing folder and stamp set back in April. As our daughter is getting married in a zoo I used this set to make her birthday card.

The Zebra paper was left over from makes for the wedding. The flowers were created with a punch and the leaves with the Laurel Leave die designed  by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. 

All the stamps were stamped in black archival and coloured with me Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.

I cut the animals out with my Brother Scan and cut that way they can have an even border. 

I made a little scene with the couple. I framed it with a Sue Wilson die it was nice to have the hearts in the frame. 

Yes I used my Crafter's Companion Happy Birthday die again it is a good size. 

I took this photo on the trip. We were doing activities around the river and this group of horses with a foal came for a drink and then went again. 

She was very pleased with this card. I did enjoy using the stamps it is a great set. 

I would like to enter challenge 158 at the Dream Valley Challenge Blog. 

Happy Crafting
