Howdy my crafty peeps!

Just stopping by to share my card for this month's Designers Challenge. This month, we were challenged with using the Train Pivot Panels or the Rocket Pop-up for a card of any theme.

For my card, I went with an outer space theme. Here is the front of my card. I have used the "crater" piece from the Rocket Pop-Up to create the planet that my alien is blasting off from. I love the stencil feature in the die to help create the craters. I used Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Inks on grey cardstock. The spaceship and alien are from the Space Charms die set.

Here is the inside of the card. I have added the Enjoy the Ride die set and you can see the rocket pops up into the air taking flight.

Here is a close up of the rocket. I have used 3 flames to create the flame burst out of the end of the rocket. The flames were cut with yellow cardstock and inked with Wild Honey and Barn Door Distress Inks.

Here you can see the card closes flat for mailing.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just stopping by to share a little crafty inspiration. We all know that boy cards can be a bit challenging, however, using the new Train Pivot Panel die from Karen Burniston is the solution.

Here is the front of my card. I have used the Train from the Train Pivot Panel die along with elements from the Train Elements die sets.

Here is the inside of the card. I have added use the Train Pivot Panel die with the Twist Panel Pop up die set. The clouds/smoke were made using the Outdoor Scene die set. I have continued theme from the front of the card. I have also added the Happy Birthday and the panel pieces using the Rectangles - Crosshatch die sets.

Merry Cocktails

Howdy my crafty peeps!I am just stopping by to share a card using the new Triple Flip  and the Happy Hour Charms die sets 

 Here is the the front of the card. I was definitely inspired by the background paper for this card. I decided t0 use the Coffee Charms die set as well. (I was thinking a nice cup of joe with some Baileys). I have also added in a border from the Border Blends - Party die set.

Here is the card with the flipped open, continuing the cocktail theme.

Here is the inside of the card. I have added the Cheers sentiment and another cocktail to round out the theme.

Howdy my crafty peeps! 

It is time for another Designers Challenge. This months theme is: Fun on the Farm, We were challenged to use the Barn Pop Stand and farm related dies.

Here is my card. I have used the Barn Pop Stand. I have also used the Farm Edges for the tractor and fence. For the sky I used Distress Inks to make the clouds using a die that I cut out as a stencil from the Nature Edges. I have also added the grass from the same die set. The pitchfork is from the Tiny Accessories 3 die set.

Here is the barn opened up. I have used the Triple Flip die set and only used the middle of the 3 "flippers" to animate the barn. In order to support the weight of the barn, I did extend the flipper with a scrap of paper from where I cut the whole in the barn. Also, in order to extend the Triple Flip layer piece, I did not place the top edge of the die on the cutting plate. I have also added the pig from the Chicken, Pig and Lamb die set and used the Tiny Accessories 3 to add the bandanna and the cowboy hat.
