Fuzzypuffs

Happy Saturday to you all

I am sharing with you today a little Fuzzypuff

There is a huge collection of these and you can find them in the Polkadoodles store

You can purchase them individually, as a set, pre-coloured , black/white or even on a USB  stick if you wish, how cool is that so many options

Soooo here you go , What did I use?

Well I fancied a bit of decoupage , so I went for the pre - coloured Scruff Cupcake

 How totally sweet is he!

I firstly cut him out using a stitched circle die

I printed him out a further 4 times and chipped and chopped until I had all the pieces I wanted to decoupage,  Smelly glue to hand and I was away making him come to life

I used a little glossy accents on his candle

The papers and sentiment are all from Winnie Celebrate Collection

A perfect match for scruff I thought

I mat and layered these on some soft blue cardstock

and then popped them onto a 7x7 Blank card

The flowers were from the Horace and Boo Collection

Totally love the way the collections mix and match

I finished off with a lovely ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

Sheer Puff Dot Ribbon  Sky

Placing it across the bottom of the card and making a little bow

Thank you for looking today

Back again for my second post today

Busy is me

There is a brand new collection from Polkadoodles

* Little Dudes*

They are full of character and so much fun

For my first make I have used Wizardy Magic Little Dude

He has been coloured using Graph'It Markers and Polychromo Pencils

Such a cutie, I decided on making an easel card , I love making these but do sometimes have difficulty in taking decent photo's

I decided on making a black card stock with many layers of fun papers , I used Work & Play 12 for all my papers, such a lovely collection.

Then sentiments used are part of the Wizardy bundle

I used an old star die to cut the round sentiment and Fancy Rectangles/tabs set for the other sentiment , I totally adore these and they are on an amazing offer at the moment.

For the stars again I used an old die and cut various sized sparkly stars.

Thank you for stopping by today
