Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

Merry  Christmas Everyone!!!!

It's Christmas Day already down here in Australia! I must have been a good girl this year as I did very well 😀

There are many of you who visit my blog regularly, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support throughout the year. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas!

A few months ago which browsing one of my favorite places to shop online, I came across the Tonic Studios Window Box dies (that create Bendy Fold Cards). Of course loving anything interactive, I had to purchase one of the dies ... the Buttercup Sunburst Window Box die set. This set comes with the dies to create solid panels as well as decorative panels to create the "bendy" portion of the card. 

I finally got around to playing with the die set to create my card today. For this card I only used the solid panels as I wanted to create a snowy scene and didn't need the decorative panels.

To decorate my card I used Ellen Hutson's Snowfall Backdrop die set to create the snow background, using Distress Oxide ink to create my snow scene. I added a moon using a circle die to the top right hand corner of my card.

I added "Santa & his reindeer's" using the Mama Elephant Santa's Sleigh Clear Stamp set.

To decorate the "bendy" panels I added trees from MFT Stamps "Roughing It" Clear Stamp set and the animals from Lawn Fawn's Winter Skies Clear Stamp set.

Here is a look at my card when the right hand side "bendy" gate is open.

And one more photo of the front of my card, this time with both "bendy" gates open.

For the inside of my card I added a sentiment which is stamped in red.

Today I am featuring the new PI Cowgirl stamp set, isn’t she just so adorable!!!!!  This is another Bendy Fold Card, I am loving making these cards . Along the front shorter rounded panel I added the Die-namics Country Charms Dies die cutting them in two different pinks.

On the left hand rounded panel I used the PI Cowgirl, her skirt is paper pieced using designer paper. I added the sentiment from the set onto one of the Die-namics Chat Bubbles.

On the inside of my card I added the Die-namics Woodgrain Fence. The sentiment “Country Girl” was stamped onto the smaller ribbon from the Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon.

In the top right hand corner I added a flower which was created using the Die-namics Botanical Beauty die. I then added the leaves using the new Die-namics Large Leafy Flourish Die.

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a brand new month it is time for a new challenge hostess which this time round is mwah!!!!!!

For my first challenge for the month I decided to go with Fun Folds …. One of my favorite things to create are cards that do something a little different. There are so many different folds out that you can try. If you need ideas check out the resource section of Splitcoast Stampers.

I decided to try my hand at a new style of folded card (for me), this one is called a Bendy Fold Card. I have been wanting to try making one of these for ages and had never gotten around to it and I am glad I finally decided to make one as they are so much fun to make and sooooooooo easy too!

I used La-La Lands Crafts Autumn Marci & Formal Luka for my card. I also added a flower to the right hand side which is MFT Die-namics Botanical Beauty & the new MFT Die-namics Large Leafy Flourish which is being released on Tuesday night.

Here is the inside of my card once both of the side panels have been opened.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
