OWL you doing?

I had bought a cd from Crafty Catz back in October last year at the SECC hobbys and handicrafts show and well you know how it is, you use it for bits and pieces and never really get the chance to play properly.  So over the Christmas period I got to play a bit more with the cds I own and decided to make some pieces using the owls.  Here is one of them I made for a 40th card.  I sent pics to the designer of the cd and she loved it, so hey Im delighted to say I am now officially a sample maker for Crafty Catz cds and stamps, woohoo or should I say twit twoo!







card for my father in law from the kids

We set out to make a card for my father in law from my kids.  They call him papa which is what he likes so I had to put 'Papa'on the front of the card although I prefer granda or granpa.  They wanted glitter and stickers and shiny shiny bits so my three year old told me but I had to draw the line somewhere.  The card is a compromise between my creativity border and their wishlist.

I used Nestabilities to create the main shape of the card and simply scored them both 1 inch in and glue them together to create the card.  Then I used smaller nesties to create the layers.  The stamp is ELZYBELLS birthday bears and the inside is simply glitter girls peel offs with sparkly stars on them.  Then instead of an insert I simply stamped 'you are a star' inside to create a background instead of a verse.

Quick and simple but the kids and 'papa' loved it. Job Done!
