Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - 'Cute Critters' Challenge #083

The Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Design Team are about to show you our 'Cute Critters' creations.

Do you have a favourite stamp set, Bundle or Suite with 'Cute Critters'?

If you do, then you should join us and create a project, and add it to our gallery here.

So, there are a couple of stamp sets I just love with some 'Cute Critters', and I may have made a few items to inspire you....

Get ready for some 'Cute Critters' cuteness!

Straight up is a card using the 'Snail Mail Suite'.

I stamped the heart image all over the postage stamp die.

And that sweet snail - I found a coordinating die that die cuts him from the Designer Series Paper!

Yep, only found out after I fussy cut a snail for my 3D creation below (palm to forehead).

Adding a 'hello' sentiment stamped straight onto the Designer Series Paper, and a touch of 'Whisper White Twine' and a bow.

Introducing my fussy cut snail!

This is totally fine if you don't have the coordinating dies, however, the ease of die cutting is so good!

The how to make this box, thanks to pootles.co.uk

And to make the most of cutting the divine Designer Series Paper, I have made a gift tag too.

Measuring 5cm x 10.5cm prior to punching with the 'Delightful Tag Topper Punch'.

And how cute are the Kangaroos from the 'Kangaroo and Company Bundle'?

A sweet little love note popping from the pouch.

A cute Valentine's Day or Anniversary card for someone special.

And a matchy matchy gift box!

Envelope Die from the 'Snail Mail Suite'.

A perfect fit for the 'Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack'!

A really cute card and gift box duo, mixing the Snails and Kangaroos beautifully.

Thankyou for making it this far... and I hope to have inspired you with my 'Cute Critters'? What 'Cute Critters' are you wanting to play with? Don't forget to add them to our gallery.

See you next time. Keep safe & well. D x

Just Add Ink - 'Just Add a Fancy Fold' Challenge #510

Get yourself ready for some 'Fancy Fold' creations from the Just Add Ink Design Team.

Yep - you are in for a treat with our 'Fancy Fold' theme for the JAI Challenge #510

We would love for you to play along, and you can add your 'Fancy Fold' project to our gallery here.

I visited Pinterest, and typed in 'Fancy Fold cards', and it was here I found quite a lot of tutorials and ideas.

I love a 'Z-fold card', and then I found a 'Z-fold Spinner Card', and below is my take.

The layout of my 'Z-fold Spinner Card'.
I have used the 'Ornate Thanks' stamp set, and coordinating 'Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper'.
'Thanks' stamped with 'Bumblebee' ink and die cut with the 'Stitched Rectangle Dies'.

I stamped 2 daisies onto 'Whisper White' cardstock, and die cut both images using the 'Layering Ovals Dies'. 
Adhering both daisy ovals together, incorporating thread in the middle to create the spinner element.
The 'Z-fold' has be folded in half, and I used the next largest oval from the 'Layering Ovals Dies', to create the oval window for the spinner element.

I stamped the 'ever so much' sentiment on the inside of my card. It sits directly underneath the oval once the card is closed.

The spin action happens when you wind the oval element, close the card front, and when you open it up, it spins! Don't forget to wind the oval up, and close it within an envelope prior to sending to your recipient.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and I hope you get yourself crafting and join in with our Challenge?

See you next time. D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - Theme Challenge #051

Our 'Theme Challenge' for this weeks Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 
Blog Hop is 'With Sympathy'.
Join in with our Challenge, and create a 
'With Sympathy' project and add it to our gallery here.

It's never easy to give someone a Sympathy card; however, it's a lovely way to show someone you are thinking of them at such a sad time.

I have created a simple, yet subtle, 'With Sympathy' card.
'A little note' - from the 'Butterfly Gala' stamp set, is a sentiment perfect for such an occasion.

A background of 'Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper', with a touch of 'Whisper White' from the 'Flourish Dies'.

And a little bit of 'Linen Thread' too.

Thankyou for paying me a visit, and don't forget to visit the Design Teams Blogs for some inspiration.
See you next time. D x
