Hello, You Nailed It!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Anne Harmon our challenge hostess for the month finishes off the month with one last challenge.

This week Anne has challenged us to create a Card of Encouragement.

For my card today I created a pop-up card using the floating floor die from Karen Burniston's House & Fence Pop-up die set.

To decorate my card I used MFT Stamps Builder Bears stamp set. I have been wanting to use this set for sometime now and finally found a reason to make something with it.

On the top panel (sky area), I added some birch trees on the left hand side and a sun to the top right hand side of my card.

I added a sentiment to the lower portion of the card using a "Hello" die from Crafter's Companion and one of the sentiments from the Builder Bear stamp set.

The photo above is taken at a different angle, where you can see the floating floor part of the card. I also added a fence to the front of the floating floor.

For the front of the card I used some of the same stamps/dies I used on the inside of the card. For the grass I used the new Tucked-In Turf - Vertical Die-namics from MFT Stamps.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:

It's a Tree-mendous Time of the Year

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a brand new month it is time to introduce a new challenge hostess which is me.

It's a Tree-mendous Time of the Year - 

It's December 1st and for me that means it is time to decorate the Christmas tree. For our challenge this week, create a card that features a tree. Your card can include a Christmas tree, pine branches of a Christmas tree or even a tree in a summer or winter setting.

For my card today I decided to create a pop up card using the floating floor die from  Karen Burniston's House and Fence die set. As you can see I have created a Christmas scene using wood paper for the base and floating floor and red polka dot paper for the back.

To decorate my card I used stamps from MFT Stamps Secret Santa stamp set.

Along the top of the card I added a border using the Tonic Studios Celebration Season Header Fold die set.

I added the "Merry Christmas" sentiment on the bottom of my card.

Here is another view of the inside of my card so you can see the floating floor part of the card a little better.

For the front of the card I added the Santa peeking out behind the tree that I used on the inside and a sentiment from the stamp set. This was layered using the Circles Crosshatch die set.

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.
