Foxy Valentine

Hello crafting friends. As promised I'm sharing the Valentine card I made for my son. The boy loves foxes, in fact when we were looking for his Christmas present back in 2012, I phoned around to find out about getting him a domesticated fox.  There were none at the time and since it was going to be a Christmas present, we got him a Basenji instead.  Maverick, the fun, doesn't listen worth diddly Basenji, has been a blessing in our home, and it's actually amazing to see the bond between a boy and his dog :-)

 This card was made using a Silhouette file. In fact all my Valentine cards this year were made using files from the Silhouette store.  I can hear my  dies complaining from neglect! :-)

I'll be back tomorrow to share another Valentine card.

Crafty hugs,

Froggy Valentine

Happy Thursday crafting friends.  If you're not having the best of weeks, hang in there, it's almost Friday! Today I'm sharing the Valentine card I made for my little grandson.  Needless to say, for a 5 year old, this wobble head was a great hit 😀

This card was made using a cut file from Silhouette.  I adhered an action wobble behind the head of the frog allowing it tp swing to and fro. I cut an additional couple of flowers and placed them on the inside of the card so it all ties in nicely.

Till tomorrow, when I will be back sharing the Valentine card I made for my son.

Crafty hugs,

Triple Flip Christmas Card

Hello and welcome back crafting friends.

I'm on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog today, sharing a Christmas card with you.

It's a Christmas Fairy Triple Flip card.  Now that's a mouthful :)  I love interactive cards and these are so much fun, AND they can be used for any occasion!

When flipped, you have messages on the other side of the rectangle panels :-)

It was also pretty quick to put together.  I used the Triple Flip die by Karen Burniston.  Here is a LINK to her easy to follow tutorial on YouTube.  After assembling the card, I used the Frosty Fairy Friends stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn to decorate the flipping panels.

I continued the Frosty Friends theme on the inside of the card by stamping a few more elements out of the same stamp set.

When I looked at my card again, I felt like I wanted to add a little more to it, so I grabbed the Fir Trees Border by Impression Obsession and cut it out twice.  After figuring out exactly where I wanted to place them, I adhered each layer using foam squares, and then trimmed the excess of the sides.

On the top portion of the card, I added another piece of the snow flurries paper and adhered a die cut made using the Santa's Sleigh and Reindeer die by Cheery Lynn.  I adhered it using mini foam squares.

I definitely like the extra decorations on it. What do you think?

Here is a list of the crafty supplies used,
