GLAM KITTY BOOKMARK CARD

It's time for a new Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge... Today's challenge is to make a "CRITTER CARD". I have used this fun, sexy kitty from the "Glam Kitty" set. In honour of the critter challenge - Totally Stampalicious is having an awesome sale, for this week only - they are offering "HAWT DAWG" or the " ROCKIN ' FRAWG" set for only $10.00 each. Make sure to pop on over to the Totally Stampalicious blog - they have announced the Blog Candy winner and information on a new stamp release and blog hop. Plus last weeks challenge winner.

I combined several challenges with this one card. Today's Totally Stampalicious challenge - use a critter on your card. Yesterday's Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper challenge #FS166 - to case Pat Smethers. Here is the fun "Feeling Froggy" card that I cased. Today's technique challenge - to make a bookmark card. Last weeks Ways to use it - use angles - I scored the soft sky background on an angle - every 1/4". SCS Fan club theme - all creatures great and small. Our Creative Corners challenge - bows, Crazy 4 Challenges #C4C32 - use 1 ribbon, 2 buttons/brads and three punches - I used a small flower punch, Martha Stewart Fence border punch, 1" circle punch, ribbon on my bookmark tab and the little bow, button brads on my punched flowers. I stamped, coloured, paper pieced and cut out Glam Kitty twice. Once for the front of the card and once for the bookmark. I laminated the bookmark. Attached the circle pull tab.

Happy Stamping and creating,

HM#57 - Double Pocket Bag Challenge

Happy House Mouse Monday to all you House Mouse Lovers.... :)

We have some sad news - This weeks will be Jannekes last challenge. She has been with us since the start of the blog and has always created wonderful cards/projects for us to admire over the year. We wish Janneke all the best in the future and hope that she will visit us and play along when she gets a chance.

Today, Janneke has issued our challenge - to make a DOUBLE POCKET BAG. Check out this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. I made two bookmarks and a gift card wallet to go inside the bag. Here is the tutorial for the wallet. I lamented the bookmarks, punched holes with crop-o-dile and tied on the two colours of raffia.

My cute House Mouse image is called "Mice Star" starring Muzzy. I water coloured the image and matted it with burgundy and Kraft. Sewed edges. I cut out the bag, but before I glued it together I sewed on the DP and buttons. Assembled card. I braided two colours of raffia and attached to the bag.
