Celebrate

Good morning. I'm here with a make for the Polkadoodles Craft blog again.

To make this card I used a sheet of paper from the Funky Fantasy paper pack. I went around the edge with a black marker pen to add a faux layer, and then added more interest with a double squiggly line with a fine liner pen, and glued it to a square card blank. I then used the largest die from the Polkadoodles Butterfly Trio die set. Firstly I cut it from a piece of card that I had left over from a distress ink background I made. I then cut it our from black card keeping the waste in and securing with tape. I glued the centre of the white die cut over the black one and glued onto the card. Finally I cut out the Celebrate sentiment die twice, once from an inked piece of card and one from black card. I then offset the coloured one over the black one and glued onto the card.

Celebrate

Good morning everyone. I'm back with another make for the Polkadoodles craft blog team.
And here it is.

 I've created a background using distress inks and the Polkadoodles Flower Doodles 6x6 stencil. I then used a black marker and went around the edges of the background to add a faux layer.
Then I used the Polkadoodles Delicate Daisy corner die, and cut it out of black card, and then again from the corner of the background. I put the die cut from the background, back into the space it was cut from. I then used the waste pieces from that die cut, to place into the waste areas I removed from the black die cut. I taped them in place to secure then and mounted onto 3D foam and placed it in the top left corner. 
I then used the Polkadoodles Celebrate sentiment die, and cut one from white card, and one from black card. I offset the white die cut over the top of the black die cut and glued in place. Then added the sentiment across the centre of the card to finish it off.

A little bit of Fantasy

Good morning everyone.
I'm back in the land of blogging with another make for the Polkadoodles blog.

There's lots of photos in this post so you may want to get comfy with a coffee.

I've made a card with a hidden message using the Funky Fantasy paper pad and the Happy Birthday die.

The first step is to choose a sheet of paper you like, I chose the blue one and wanted to darken the edges so cut the paper to size and used a distress ink to darken the edges.
Next I chose the sentiment die I wanted to use and cut it out of the paper.
Make sure you keep all the pieces you cut out, including the bits you would normally throw away.
 Then glue the paper to the card taking care to stick down around the sentiment.
 Place the sentiment, without glueing, back onto the paper and then glue in all the extra pieces from the centres of the letters.

Then cut the sentiment out from card stock several times and glue them all together on top of each other. You will end up with a sentiment that looks a but like a chipboard sentiment.




 Finally glue the sentiment onto the card. If you look at the card front on the sentiment isn't that easy to see, it's only when you tilt the card you get the full effect.

CAS

Good morning and a very happy
So today over at the Digi Choosday blog the team were challenged to make something Clean and Simple, which you will see referred to as CAS. Of course the challege for you remains as always Anything Goes.
So here is my make for this week.
 For this I've used the new Winnie White Christmas Printed Paper Craft Kit, it's one of the sheets of Paper Delice with an image on a background. I've cut the image out with the largest of the three Elegant Nest die set from Polkadoodles. I've mounted the topper onto 3D foam and added a layer of silver glitter card behind the white layer. Finally I added a few pearls and  a flower and some foliage.

So don't forget to pop over to the blog and grab todays massive discount code. See you soon.

Use a die

Good morning and happy
We have a new challenge over at the Digi Choosday blog. As always for you it is anything goes, but the design team have the challenge of  "use a die" so here is my make. Beware there are lots and lots of photos, so you may need a cuppa before you look at them all.
This started out as a plain MDF kit I got at Crafting Live last year.









I just love this so much. I really didn't want to put it away after Christmas.
I used some papers from the Octavia Frosted Winter Collection. I added some modelling paste and gesso around the edges and in random places to look a little bit like snow. I then used a bronze gilding wax around the edges. So I got really, really messy making this, which I just love! I cut all the die cuts out with Centura Pearl card. I bought some really cheap Christmas decorations from poundstretcher and pulled them all apart to add bits here and there. I also added some polystyrene snowballs. I even made the candle ring in the centre of the sleigh. I glittered up some pine cones, used some hessian/burlap type ribbon and some die cuts, and attached them all to a wired fern sprig.  On the arrangement I made for the side of the sleigh I also used some of that silver fine tinsel that you hang from Christmas trees. The dies I used are all from Polkadoodles and they are: Super Sprigs, the flower from the Bubbleicious Frames set, and the foliage die from the Birdhouse Doublet die set. Check out all the rest of the dies from Polkadoodles HERE.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations - ATG
Craft Dee Bowz - ATH with a handmade bow.
Crafting From The Heart - ATG
Get Creative - ATG

Moody Evening

Good morning once again! This is getting into a bit of a habit, me posting on days I don't normally do. It's all these lush new products I'm getting to play with, so you can't blame me. Today you can blame Mrs Doodles again, as I'm back with another make using her fab new dies. This time I've used the Elegant Lamplight and Gate Die set.

 I've created a background using 3 pinkish distress inks and splashed some water over it. I then used some stamps from the Little Kingdom set to create the house. I then cut the gate and lamp out of some more I had covered with distress inks. I decided to make the dies pop a bit more I would cut them out in black and mat behind the other cuts to create a shadow. And there you have it, a moody evening scene that was very quick to create.

I'll be back again soon with another make using more dies so keep checking back.
