OCCASIONS OTHER THAN BIRTHDAY

I have used this wonderful image from our sponsor called Night Nurse Nina, she's looking rather stern don't you think? I would certainly try to get better really quickly if she was in attendance!

Allsorts Challenge #754 - Friendship/ATG

 Hi Crafters,

I would like the weeks to slow down a bit, I feel as if I'm spinning too many plates at the moment. Do you feel time is moving very fast or is it just me?

We have somehow reached another Saturday which means a new challenge at Allsorts. Our theme this week is

FRIENDSHIP/ATG

Recipe

Background paper - 12x12 paper pad from The Range

Tonic Scalloped Die

Daisy Mae Designs Dotty Embossing Folder

Crafters Companion - 'Friend' Stamp and Die

Highlight Crafts 'Blushed Posy' Reflections.

This card is quite flat for posting which is a bonus nowadays as the postage has gotten quite expensive here. However, my favourite cards to make are dimensional ones with lots of embellishments and details like shaker cards, stepper cards etc. These are fine for delivering by hand but I think I need to try and make more of the flatter style cards as customers are now looking for these when I have my stall at events. So this one should fit the bill :o)

We have prizes this month from

Stampendous, Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW

Check back Friday on the challenge blog for the Top 5 picks and then again at the end of the month for the prize winners.

Have a fabulous weekend whatever you are doing.

Allsorts Challenge #753 - The Great Outdoors/ATG

 Hi Crafters,

It's lovely to see you here again for the new challenge theme at Allsorts.

Ellie has chosen...

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

...but if you really cannot think of anything then you have the option of ANYTHING GOES.

Here is my card...

After die cutting the large heart aperture I embossed the card with a Brick Wall EF. Then using some Tattered Lace dies for the flowers and butterfly I created this Thank You card. The delicate gate die cut is a Spellbinders die and I have added it across the heart aperture to add depth to the scene. The 'Thank You' die cut is from Paper Boutique and I cut it twice to add dimension.

Prizes from Stampendous and Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW for these weeks.

Check back on the challenge blog for the Top 5 winners next Friday.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
