Big Snowflake Card

 


 This month's theme is "Anything Goes".  

The Prize: $25 gift card  

Thank you to Elizabeth Craft Designs 
for your sponsorship and support.

Hi - Dawn here to share my card using supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.     


I die cut the gorgeous ECD die "Snowflakes" from some Altenew Dazzling Diamond Glitter card.  I cut it in half and added either side of the banner with the sentiment on it.
My background was cut with a square die from Gina K Master Layouts and run through a embossing folder - a freebie from years ago.  I added lots of Pinkfresh Metallic silver pearls.

Do come and join us this month with your "Anything Goes" projects.   Just remember to use your die cut machine!

Popping Up with Poppystamps

Hello Crafty Friends. It's Sue here. Our challenge is month is

POP-UP CREATIONS


Here's my card


For my card, I lightly ink blended some white cardstock with distress inks with oval ink blending brushes. I die cut the inked panel with a stitched circle die. I added a die cut, cut with Poppystamps' Thank You Poe Script die with light gray cardstock and glued it to the circle die cut. I found a patterned paper that coordinated with the colors I used and cut it to an A2 size. I made a small pop-up mechanism which I adhered to the circle die cut with double-sided tape. Here's a close-up. 



Sorry, the "pop-up" feature is a bit underwhelming. In hindsight, it might have been better to use an Action Wobbles action spring. However, the circle die cut does "pop" up and will lie flat when in an envelope. For more detail on how I made my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see your "pop-up" creations in our gallery and I'm on the lookout for other ideas of how to "pop-up" my cards. 

Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps. They will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Our thanks to them for sponsoring our challenge this month.
