Flatfriends Challenge - Sentiment

Hello there, Happy April Fool day!  Today's challenge for Flatfriends is "Sentiments"  I chose this young lad, which is one of Emma Canning's designs, available from www.polkadoodles.co.uk or Etsy. I coloured him with my Graph'it markers and cut him out.  I made an easel shaped card using kraft cardstock and matted a lovely dotty paper from my crafty stash onto it.  I then added two sentiment tickets which I printed from my Dollie Daydream Goes East CD Rom. Coloured, distress and crumpled them up and popped them onto the card as a stopper.

Digi Choosday - Flower Power

Today's challenge is Flower Power - so I chose my Dollie Daydream Goes East CD Rom available from www.polkadoodles.co.uk.  I picked this lovely backing paper, (too many to choose from) and this Panda from the Embellishment section.  I printed them out, matted the backing paper onto black cardstock, cut out the Panda and put him on the front.  Added a sentiment also from the CD Rom, coloured it pink with my Promarkers and a ribbon to finish it. So quick and easy to make.

No Measuring Pop Up Card

How pretty is this Pop Up Card?  I sat at my desk this morning and decided to make one of these.  Nikky Hall of Polkadoodles demonstrated this on Create & Craft this week.  Her No Measuring Pop Up Box Card!  If you would like to see how to make one of these cards, she has put it on Youtube.
I made the Pop Up Box Card then decorated it.  I used papers from Close to My Heart with bees on it, edged the flaps with a daisy punch.  Then I stamped and punched out the flowers and butterflies, die cut some florals and put it altogether.  I used a ticket sentiment and added it to the front.  There it is.

Flower Pot Card - Using Stampin Up Stamps and Punches

Oh I love this card - I have just made one for my Polkadoodles DT Challenge using their products. So I decided to use the Stampin Up Stamps and Punches that has made this card.  I love Black and White cards also. So to me this has turned out pefect.  I have made this as a Thank you card for a dear friend that is helping me at the moment.  I cut out the flowerpot using my template  and instructions that I saw on Youtube - flowerpot card.  I stamped out all the flowers and butterflies and then punched them out.  I punched out a daisy border using a Martha Stewart punch to keep the flowerpot together and added a flower and butterfly.  I then die cut a flower border and cut it in half.  I then cut a piece of white card and matted it onto black cardstock, added a Thank you sentiment at the bottom. Adhered the die cut flowery border to the side of the cards added the three flowers and then on the frongs of the flowery twine I adhered the butterflies using pinflair silicone glue, added some more butterflies to complete the flowerpot!  Love it!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Spring is in the Air

My card today hasn't any characters as I decided to do this lovely little flower pot card made from plain cardstock and papers from the Sugar Plum Daisy CD Rom (available from www.polkadoodles.co.uk).  I cut out a template for the card and matted one of the papers on the front. I then cut out a border to go around the flower put to keep it together, I then added a tag and bow.  I then cut out some cream card and matted it on the brown cardstock for the flower tag.  I stamped Happy Mother's Day at the bottom and then added my punched out flowers from the two background papers, added little buttons for the centres. I also die cut a flowery twine and cut it in half and put it at the back of the flowers.  I really love how this has turned out.

Creative Moments Challenge - Aurora Wings

How cute is this image?  This is image is called Cala Lily and is from Aurora Wings Digi Images.
I printed her out and coloured her with my Graph'it Markers. I then cut around the image and adhered her to some pretty green paper that I had in my paper stash. Cut out the frame using a Spellbinders die. I then added some die cut flowers and butterfly.  No sentiment is needed for this lovely card I think x

I thought I would enter this card in the Graph'it Markers Challenge.

Digi Choosday - Animals

So for today's Digi Choosday challenge its Animals.  So I went through all my Polkadoodles CD Rom to find some cute animals.  I chose the Sugar Plum Daisy CD Rom, this is a lovely CD rom, cute images, lovely backing papers and scenes.  I first found the background I liked, then some bees, then some hedgehogs and finally picked the little girl. I printed them all off separately. I made a stepper card and matted the background and border onto some black cardstock.  I then cut out the images and popped the bees on some acetate, so they look like they are flying, put 3D foam pads onto to her and the hedgies to give the card some dimension.  Printed a sheet of sentiments off the CD also and chose one of them and matted it onto black cardstock also.  What a cute card x
