Happy Monday Everyone

Hope your weekend was good

It's half term in the UK so we have our Granddaughter Felicity to stay for the week.

I had spotted a card on You tube that really caught my eye, I went back to watch it properly but alas I could not find it , but had seen enough to do a version

So this morning Felicity and I had some great fun

But these are not just plain pop up box cards

Look!!

We cut out a panel in the front and made underwater scenes
Covering with acetate

To make our fun cards

we used 

For the waves we used Polkadoodles Scenic Landscape Dies

Nautical Ocean MDF Embellies (these are lush!!)

Starfish & Sandcastles Collection

Tropical Oceans Clear Stamp Set

Tropical Underworld Clear Stamp Set

Oceania Clear Stamp Set (my fav stamps ever)

These really were so much fun to make and seeing it come to life, Felicity said it was the best crafting she had ever done and had a very proud moment

We used some pre ~ coloured images, some we coloured with pencils, Some paints, some stamping, messy indeed!!

Thank you for looking

I already had the fun images I wanted to use

Under The Sea Birthday Set

It contains 3  images and 3 sentiments - Bargain to be had!

All the papers used are from Polkadoodles Starfish & Sandcastles collection

and my 2 Nautical Ocean Embellies can be found here

(totally love these emblies and they are kept out of reach from my Granddaughter)

The little Fish bowl was cut on my portrait

I coloured the images using Graph'It markers

and added a little stoney floor

I used Pan Pastels for the water and dusted around the sentiment with distress ink

Happy Friday Everyone

What a mixed bag of weather we are having here in the UK

One place there is sun guranteed is at my Summer Chalet!

 I cut the Chalet on my portrait using one of Sandra's great files that you can find here

I added acetate to the front windows.

I cut this in kraft card as due to the size it needed to be nice and sturdy . The roof  I cut in corragated card. The lovely wooden paper used is from  Distressed Wood paper pack  and apart from some ribbon for curtains , I have used the amazing Starfish and Sandcastles collection to decorate.

Spot the little doggie wearing his amazing sun glasses!

 To say I am totally addicted to this collection is an utter understatement , I have another project in the pipeline from Starfish and Sandcastles to share in a few weeks time!
