A Quirky Reminder

Another funny fairy frog by Dustin Pike to remind you there is one week to go to enter the "Things with Wings and Clouds" challenge at Quirky Crafts. I coloured the frog with Promarkers (I love the jar of fireflies), and cut the panels with Nestabilities. I found this paper in my box which I think is by English Paper Company but I could be wrong. I cut my vellum clouds with a Sizzix Framelets die from the cupcake set, it is the icing die! Letters and flowers are cut with Quickutz Lifestyle dies.

I hope to add a couple more examples soon, one of these depends on me sorting out the printer which involves surgical gloves, syringes and some special Magic Bullet liquid, oh and a couple of hours and lots of mess. If it works I should be able to print off the only image we haven't shown you yet and make another card.

Bicycle

I love the Sizzix and Hero Arts collaboration sets, and finally got round to playing with them, and this is the result of my first play with the bicycle Framelit and stamp set.

I stitched DCWV paper to the card blank, and the ribbon was attached before I stitched so that it is stitched on the ends too. The bicycles were stamped with black and Paris Blue Memento ink, so was the bunting which is part of this set. I just had to use the tiny bicycle on the background and inside, and on the flap of the envelope. I think this is fairly unisex, despite pink bunting.

I have entered my card in the following challenges:

Incy Wincy Designs - Monday challenge Things With Wheels

One Stop Craft Challenge - Saturday challenge - Anything goes

Post

Look what the postie brought this morning, apart from Card Making and Papercraft mag.

Lots of lovely ribbons and tassels from Crafty Ribbons, and some Sizzix Framelits stamp sets from The Craft Bag (which is the new web site for the Crafty Devils). The sets have Hero Arts cling stamps with matching dies.
I had a credit note with the Crafty Devils for something that was discontinued which I could put towards something on the new web site, and I put it towards these sets and it is the best price I have seen even before I used the credit note. Happy Me!
