Happy Birthday Flip Card

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge!




What a beautiful collection of fresh white and pastels, with a hint of rustic  charm!

The challenge this month is to create a project inspired by this mood board, and post it on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  We'd love to see what you create!

Or you can simply participate by commenting on each blog in the hop, plus the SBB blog, and still have a chance to win a prize.

 Of course, you can do both of these things for a chance to win both prizes!  Please check out the rules of entry, and the prizes at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog and note that this challenge is open to Australian and New Zealand residents.


You should have arrived here from Angela's blog.


For my card I focussed on the pale woodgrain, the soft pastel colours and the rustic twigs and branches.  But I also wanted to try the new Kaisercraft Lattice Flip-It dies, to create an easel card - which changes from the card above, as it is sent in the mail, to the card below, when it is folded and propped up on its stopper.




 I used some beautiful pattern paper from - guess what - the Kaisercraft Christmas paper pad - Silver Bells - and followed the directions in this video to assemble my card.  The video is so clearly explained that it would be much easier if you watched that, rather than my trying to re-explain the directions.  These little dies make creation of this card so very 'fool-proof' lol!  I added a touch of green with the painted vine die cut, and the little bird.

I do hope you try this fancy fold card - it is so easy, and yet will delight the recipient!

From here you should hop over to  Linda's blog! 

Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!

Something Shiny

We all love shiny things I think, so this week's challenge at Less is More is a JOY!  Here is my card, which will add to my Christmas stash. Hard to see the shine, but the next view might be better. I die cut the Joy to the World Wreath by Cheery Lyn, and inlaid it back into the white card front.  It seems to suit the CAS style better this way.  The shiny sentiment is cut from silver mirror card, mounted to self adhesive foam - as you can see in the shiny photo - no messy glue to spoil the effect! While visiting the LIM blog, I realised that my card would also qualify for the current  Muse challenge.   This is the first time I have entered, so here are their rules: Use  the inspiration card as a starting point - strictly speaking, I found my card fits the criteria after I had made it, but the links are - metallic sentiment, scattered berries, and a stitched border to frame the panel. Make  a Christmas or winter-themed card,

Words, words and more words ...

I don't know what it is about the latest challenge # 191 at Less is More  this week, but each morning I have woken with a new idea in my head.  I will, however, only be entering this first card, but I had fun trying to make my ideas work.  I failed miserably with my final idea this morning, which was to use my Portrait (very new and I have no idea of graphics!!) to create a design which resembled the iPhone app called Word Storm.  I did manage to create an octagon, then a border around it, and then the 8 sections, but when I added the small octagon in the centre, I realised I still did not know how to remove the crossed lines in the centre shape.  Oh dear, back to the drawing board, or to the internet to search for lessons, but I had fun trying to solve my problems.  If anyone reading this could point me in the right direction for good lessons, I would be most grateful. Now to my actual entry - this is a little 'Itty Bitty' by Unity Stamps Co - heat embossed and sponged w
