Unusual shaped card- pop up springy card

Saturday comes around so quick! What are you all up to today? 

For this weeks project I have made an unusual shaped card called a hexagon pop up card! You can find the details with how to make it  HERE.

I used Polkadoodles pretty scallop dies, Christmas everyday sentiments  and abundant holly die cuts to create the images.  Around the hexagon shape at the bottom I cut images from the sparkling Christmas paper and topper set. You can find all the links to the products below.

Card with a closure!

How are you enjoying the summer? It has been a tad warm hasn’t it phew!! 

This weeks project is a card with a closure and I’ve made this card for a friend who was the big 60 recently. Using Belle Papillon from Polkadoodles for a shabby chic feeling soft pink tones. I created the closure using a tag punch and layering papers over the top, I really went back into craft history and decoupaged the flowers and  made a wax seal! I do hope you like it.

Back to school notebook

I wish it was time for the children to go back to school but alas there’s still 3 weeks left ha ha ! For this project I created a notebook/journal it’s an essential item to have for the beginning of the new term isn’t it?  I used Polkadoodles Rebel flower digi stamp and coloured her with markers, the design paper is Polkadoodles scrumptious sugar paper pack. I see an old Polkadoodles stamp which is always my go to when I want to create a mixed media effect! I think this is rather cute, hope you like it!

Get organised for Christmas- quick 5 minute cards

For this weeks  project I needed to get organised for Christmas!  My granddaughter who is only 4 wants a batch of small cards to send to her friends at school? “ I only need 30 Nana” lol! Hmmm so i decided to make quick 5 minute cards using 4 x 4 pre scored cards, printing pre coloured images I set to work, i also used  stencils to create a quick background and the sentiments were from a stamps set…. I think I can make 30 of these and be well prepared.

Back to school pencil case wallet

It’s a new month! …where does the time go! The team was tasked to create a wallet with a back to school theme, this inspired me to make my granddaughter a stationary wallet for when she starts school In September, it’s not hard as it looks to create, it’s justA4 card scored into a trifold and I die cut one edge.

I used the stack of books object and sentiment from the graduation collection and the link is below.

Jasper cat with balloon! Theme use animal no rabbits

Are you a cat person? ….me personally is allergic to cats but I absolutely adore them, so making a lovely cat card is somewhat comforting! 

This weeks team challenge was to create a shape down one edge, this card is a tri fold with a teardrop front panel, this was perfect to hold the fuzzy puff cat birthday image! He’s so adorable right?

I kept the colours a soft brown pallette and i think it suits this card perfectly?
