Unicorn Challenge Blog - Midway Motivation - Winter Time

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? There is still so much to do. I expect you feel the same.

This is my midway motivation card for the Unicorn Challenge Blog the theme for this months challenge is Winter Time. This means not just Christmas makes but cards for winter birthdays and anniversarysin fact any winter celebration.

I do like making these pop-up box cards and people seem to like receiving them. There is a tutorial at the top of my blog for making these from A4 and A3 sheets. All the measurements are there so I won't bore you with the details here. I used the Dasher the Deer stamp set from Creative Expressions once they were stamped and coloured I cut them out with my ScanNcut. The antlers were removed from one to make her look more feminine. 

This shows the internal slats and where I placed the decorations. 

It is so neat that they pack flat for posting. 

I would like to enter the December Challenge at Through the Purple Haze , Challenge 12 at a Snowflake,s Promise , Challenge 10 at A Bit More Time to Craft , Christmas Animals Challenge at Cuttlebug Mania and Challenge 32 at the Crafting Musketeers Challenge Blog. 

I hope the rest of the week is kind to you. 

Happy Crafting

Unicorn Challenge Blog - Winter Time

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? Mine has been interesting to say the least. It is good to have my husband home even with his arm in plaster. He is learning to do everything one handed. There is still some discomfort but it is early days and that is to be expected.

I am playing catch up with my design team projects. I should have posted this one for the Unicorn Challenge Blog on Tuesday. To say my week has been a bit messed up is an understatement. Challenge number 4 is now well under way and the theme is Winter Time. This time it falls to me to choose the winners.

This card was made almost exclusively with Sue Wilson's dies including: Winter Trees, Deer Family, Noble dies and the Peace die. 

I cut and embossed the deer and I put black card behind the filigree details to make the deer silhouettes against the winter background.  

These dies have been my favourite to use this season. I have made quite a few cards using them. 

I hope that you have a great week. You might even go in for our challenge I would love to see what you create with this theme. It doesn't have to be a Christmas card many people have birthdays at this time of year. 

I would like to enter Challenge 11 at A Snowflake's Promise. 

Happy Crafting
