Easel Box Card

 Morning and today I am Guest Designer on the  C.R.A.F.T Easel Card challenge and the sponsor is 

All Dressed Up but as I still have no printer I was allowed to go ATG and I made an easel box card using a tutorial from Beccys Place.

The die-cut leaf was a craft mag freebie,the die-cut wild flowers I believe are Memory Box and all the other elements are cut from the P.paper from Blooming Grunge from Craft&You.Cut some extra and put on 3-D foam pads.

Smash Your Stash-Metal

 Morning and wow last Saturday of the month so soon ---so time for the Smash Your Stash Journal page challenge with my talented blogging friend Vicki who makes amazing journal pages.The prompt this month was "Metal" ans I certainly raided my stash for this one lol.I found another pre-made background in my journal,I always use the pages for left over ink and cleaning stencils.

I embossed some matt mirri card with a TH embossing folder and swiped over with black acrylic,die-cut some cogs, and found a metal themed tag I made for a tag swap which got cancelled a couple of years ago.Agged some can tags,metal scre brads and a screwdriver brad I found,the two cornewr pices and shape the screwdriver is on were die-cut waste and then I found a large flower die-cut from metal I have had for years -think that was a TH die too.Hope you will pop over and check out Vickis blog too.

Triangle Accordian Pocket Card

 Morning and I have made a 5"x7" Triangle Accordian Pocket Card 

The patterned papers are from The Works and the happy birthday is a Tonic Die.I added a couple of tags in the pocket and have to admit the one with the extra piece on -I put first paper on upside down and it was meant to be the pink side too lol.Not much more to say really except it was really easy.

You Having a Giraffe

 Morning and my second post today is for a card made having a play with some a(to me ) Pink Ink stamps set-bought from someone on a FB selling page and had to have a play-made two but this is the first happy accident lol.

I had the brilliant idea of die-cutting the front to show the image inside-pity I didn't make sure the die-cut was the right was -so the image went in upside down -thought it was perfect with the sentiment so went with it.The image and sentiment are on 3-D foam pads,p.paper from The Works and promarkers on the image.

Travel Tag

 Morning and I have two posts today the first one is   for the mid month inspiration at Stamping Sensation Anything Stamped/Around the World challenge.

I used the same World Travel stamp set from Rubber Stampede but this time made a tag from recycled packaging.I found a piece of P.paper showing a map then promptly covered most of it up with the stamps lol.Used the stamp set directly onto the p.paper then stamped the cases and postcards onto kraft catdsock and cut out,I keep all postage stamps and added two from New Zealand and a Wallace and Gromit one 

Two prizes on offer from Rare Earth and Tonic----
