Three Panel Cards

I've bought a few 12" x 12" paper pads from The Range recently which include a couple of sheets with a large design across the whole page.  I've used one of the pages to make these two cards.  The top half of the page was plain navy blue, so I'll save it to use for mats on future cards.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Fur and/or Feathers

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Ellie has chosen the theme 'Fur and/or Feathers'. I'm sure you will all have lots of ideas of how to interpret this theme.  As always there is also the Anything Goes option.

I was crafting with friends a while ago and borrowed a set of Lisa Horton's 'Red Red Robin' layering stencils to play around with.  I used a square of white card with several different inks. Somehow I got a few stray bits of ink of the card where they shouldn't be and I didn't know how to cover them up.  The image has been sat on my desk for a few weeks, waiting for some inspiration of what to do with it.  Finally I decided to fussy cut the image.... something I really dislike doing.  The background was embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' embossing folder.

Little Dutch Girl

A card I can post on my blog now that I know it's been received.  

I won this lovely Aall & Create stamp (#888) recently over on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page and inked it up for the first time.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and I used Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities dies for matting and layering.  The background was embossed with Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder.  I added three Card Candi and a sentiment to finish off my card.

All the card used was from my snippets drawer, except for the card base.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Use Yellow

Lynn has chosen the theme of  'Use Yellow' for this week's Allsorts Challenge .  It would be lovely to see the challenge blog filled with yellow creations, but as always there is the option of A/G.  I had to go with Sunflowers for a yellow theme!

I thought I'd have a change from making a card for my DT creation, so I've made a Milk Carton Gift Box.  The box was made from a sheet of card measuring 10½" x 8" and I watched a video on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page for the instructions for making this size.   The patterned paper is from The Range and I layered it on plain yellow mats.  A bulldog clip keeps the box closed.
