Frosty Wishes

Hi Craft Friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog. Today I have another card I created using some of the images and papers from the November 2022 Papercraft Society Box designed by Daisy Mae.

I have again opted to use the precoloured images that are available to download, as this saves a lot of time having to colour. I love that the dies included in the box can be used to die cut the recoloured images as well as the stamps included in the box.

For my card today I created a Flip card using Creative Craft Products Circle Perfect Flips die set which creates a flip card that is 5 x 7.

As well as adding two of the images from the box, I added some die cut snowflakes and the "Frosty" word using dies included in the box.

When you pull the card open the circle in the centre 'flips" to reveal the other side which in this case has a sentiment. I added the "frosty" again using the die from the box. The "Christmas Wishes" is from Crafter's Companion's Crafter's Inspiration Magazine Issue 5.

 

When They Saw The Star

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month, it's time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Lynn McAuley.

Apparently today is National Bring Your Bible to School Day. For today’s CCEE design, use a Bible scripture as the sentiment on your card.

As I wanted to make a Christmas card for today's challenge, I had to go searching my older Christmas cards to find a suitable sentiment for this challenge. I finally found one in a really old MFT Stamps stamp set ... Pure Innocence Precious Little Lamb Upon A Star stamp set. 

As the sentiment I decided to use referred to a star, it was the perfect opportunity to pull out my Creative Craft Products Perfect Flips Star die set and the coordinating stamp set.This is a 5 inch x 7 inch card.

 I used holographic cardstock for the layers of my star and sentiment panel, and silver embossed the stamp and sentiment.

I also die cut additional smaller stars from holographic and white glitter cardstock to add around the card.

I paper pieced the lambs clothing using patterned paper.

When you pull the card open, the star in the centre of the card, flips to show a sentiment on the other side of the star.

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Kelly Santi our challenge hostess of the month continues to issue the challenges.

Apparently today is International Dot Day - show us your cards with a circle, polka dots or anything round!

For a card today I have been playing with the new flip card die set from Elizabeth Craft Designs called Birthday Flip Card which was released a couple of month ago. This die set makes a card which measures 5 1/2 inches x 4 1/4 inches when closed. As I wanted to use the Happy Birthday die included in the set I made my card in landscape orientation.

For the challenge portion of the card, I used polka dot paper using the larger dots for the layers and the smaller dots on the reverse side of the paper for the lettering of the sentiment. The cookies are also close to round, 

When you open the card, it reveals a monster surrounded by cookies using the Monster 1 die set.

Here is another view of my card, I added the "Monster Hugs" sentiment using one of the stamps included in the Monster Hugs stamp set.

Here is another view of my card when it is open, this time around I lifted the back border up to surround the image.

Sparkle and Shine

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for dropping by my blog today. It's been a while since I have created a flip type card and recently I decided to update my collection of dies that create this style of card by purchasing the new released Perfect Flips Collection by Creative Craft Products at Craft Stash. There were three different sets released all of which are the 5 x 7 size which I didn't have previously. Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created using the Perfect Flips - Circle die and coordinating stamp/die set. There is also a heart and star available which I am looking forward to using at a later date.

I used papers from Crafter's Companion's Bright and Frosty 12 x 12 paper pad for the layers. I then used the snowflake from the coordinating stamp/die set which I die cut several times from white glitter cardstock and holographic cardstock. I layered the glitter snowflakes over the holographic snowflakes offsetting slightly to get a shadow.. I then added one snowflake to the centre circle and then parts of the snowflake randomly around the card.

I then added a large glitter embellishment to the centre of the large snowflake.

When you pull the left side of the card the card opens and the circle in the centre "flips" to reveal the other side. Here I stamped a Christmas sentiment and a few snowflakes.

I don't usually decorate the back of this style of card, but as I had plenty of the patterned paper I decided I would. I added the white panel to the left side of the card for a place to write a personal message.
