Polkadoodles Graduation Stepper Card

Hi there!
It's time for Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge and the theme for this week is graduation so here is my card:




For today's card I decided to make a stepper card which I cut out on my scan and cut machine. The cute boy image is also cut out with my scan and cut along with the bunting and hat/scroll elements. The boy is mounted onto a Spellbinders die and the background paper is from the Graduation school student bundle which was then mounted onto some gold foiled card.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -do-you-prefer-brights-or-pastels-and-why? - I much prefer pastels because I think it is more subtle and not so glary!


thanks for visiting and good luck entering the Digi Choosday challenge!

House Mouse decoupage card

Hi there, I hope that it's sunny wherever you are 🌞!  I have made a House Mouse card today:




I printed the images from the House Mouse decoupage CD Rom and then cut them out on my scan and cut machine - I absolutely love this machine! It saves so much time fussy cutting and cuts out such tiny images that I couldn't do with my scissors ✂. I layered all the elements with foam pads and added some glitter. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat (very sadly closed). To finish off I machine stitched around the edges and used a corner punch and heart stickers.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -your-favourite-style-simple-or-fussy-why? - this is very easy for me as I CAN NOT make a CAS card for toffees!! I just have to add one more thing....!!

Polkadoodles Butterfly Flowerpots

Hello everyone! It's time for my Polkadoodles Digi Choosday design team card and here's what I made:




When I make cards for my mum she very often frames them so that gave me the idea for today's card. I decided to frame the beautiful Butterfly Flowerpots image using a wood effect paper from the Udderly Cute love digital papers and attached a piece of Acetate to represent the glass of the picture frame. The sentiment is from the Spring flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings set, and I finished off my card with some gems and a tiny sprinkling of glitter.

Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-style-simple-or-fussy-why? - this is an easy one for me, definitely fussy because I can not make CAS cards. In fact I very often have to sit on my hands because I want to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards!!

Polkadoodles - Gil Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers

Hello there and happy Wednesday!
It's time for my design team card over at POLKADOODLES  DIGI CHOOSDAY CHALLENGE







For today's card I created a little scene using Polkadoodles - gil-bunny-rabbit-growing-sunflowers-precoloured-digi-stamp which I cut out using my scan and cut machine. Along with some sunflowers from Autumn-fall-bundle-of-colour-clipart-printables and added some glitter to the centres. The cloud background paper is from Pretty-spring-papers and the gingham paper is from Perfect-Peony , which I used to die cut a grass border. My greeting is from Christmas-everyday-sentiment. To finish off my card I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges and added Glossy Accents to the watering can and brads in the corners.

Thanks for visiting and good luck if you enter the challenge at Digi Choosday!


Challenges:
as you like it challenge -favourite-embellishment-and-why? - this is a tough one for me as I like to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards (and very often have to sit on my hands or walk away from my card!!) But if I had to chose I think it would be brads or gems to finish off the corners of my card - they also disguise my wonky stitching!!!
