A Cute Christmas


 Hello and welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Sue J has chosen    

#264 A Cute Christmas. To see the inpiration by the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a 6" white card. folded into the tent style I cut a piece from each side leaving the centre piece of white card, slightly wider than the image I intended to use. (this is called a cat flap, no pun intended to the image I have chosen). I then added silver Mirri card to the back and the cat flap. The rear page and the cat flap are decorated with paper from my Chritmas stash, then I added mages from a Hunkydory Christmas Bookmark toppers sheet of cute images. Sentiments were added to the front and inside on the rear. Personal greetings can be added on the rear of the cat flap. Have fun.

 Hello, welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. Billie a has chosen       #380 Birthday card for a male with some Purple. To see the inspiration from the design team, plaeasse visit the blog. 

For my card, I used a 7" sq. white card. I added a gold mat, (gutted, saving some of the gold foild card). I added all of the design using a topper, frame, tag and circle embellishment, with a Best wishes paper ribbon, all from a Hunkydory 'A Splash of coloudr; designed collection. They are raised with 3 d foam pads. Purple gem stones added. 

I apologise that there is a problem with the In - Linkz, I am hoping this will be checked sometime today. It seems the In-Linkz server may be down, as this is affecting a lot of blogs. Apologies - it has been a Cloud global problem which at 3 p.m. is now hopefully resolved.

I also added layers to several of the small flowers in and out of the envelope. I added a stamped 'thanks' by cutting either side of the string, slipping the greeting though the slits.
