Circle Card with Poppystamps

Hello Crafty Friends. It's Sue here with a card for our August Challenge of "SHAPED CARDS". This month, our sponsor is Poppystamps, who will be giving our winner a $20 gift card to their shop.

Making a shaped card, is a bit outside my comfort zone. I'm an A2 girl! It's good sometimes, to push the boundaries and try something different, right? Here's my card

Yup, didn't push too far outside my comfort zone! LOL! I started with a light gray side folding A2 card panel. Surprise, surprise! However, I transformed it into this side folding circle card. I used Poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set Craft Die and Orchard Leaves Craft Die to create my card. For further details on how I made my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

Looking forward to seeing your SHAPED CARDS in our gallery this month.

Christmas Reindeer

 Hi there.... Dawn here to share my card for our July challenge . our sponsor is Elizabeth Crafts Design

Our challenge is "Christmas in July"

For my card today, I have used ECD - Reindeer.  

I die cut out all the pieces and then used Copics to colour it in.   It is an adorable die cut.  There is a wreath with it - but I found it quite difficult to work out what went where so decided not to use it.  I found some lovely gold star paper for the background.  I used a Pretty Pink Posh edge die to cut a snow bank and added it over the PP.  I used Gina K Master Layouts 1 to trim the panel down.  I matted it onto black card.  I stamped a sentiment from a magazine freebie.  I love how the little reindeer turned out.  He is just so cute.

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas with your Christmas projects.
