Pergola Card - Polkadoodles Crafting

Happy Thursday to you all

I have had tons of fun in my craft room this week 

and today I am so happy to share my pergola card with you.

I cut this out on my portrait using the lovely file from Sandra that you can find in the store right here, If you love to make 3d bits its definatly worth a visit , you do not need to own a cutting machine 

I used the lovely new hemp embossed card from Papermill Direct for my base , its lovely and weighty and very beautiful and perfect for Christmas cards

I covered over with papers from Winnie Winterland Collection,  leaving a small edge of hemp still showing

The main charaters are also from the collection along with the bows

I borrowed the cutie robins from Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun

The tree is from Frosted Winter

and I have used the Lamp die from the 

Elegant Lamplight and Gate cutting Die set 

So there you have all my links - I decoupaged some of the bits on the characters but that nasty winter weather is here which plays havoc with my camera! I also used splashes of glitter here and there

I loved the foresty feel , I did not start out with that in mind but it just grew

Baked With Love - Polkadoodles Crafting

Happy Monday to you all

Have you all spotted the new releases over at Polkadoodles?

Winnie Winterland

&
Baked With Love
Have you all spotted the great bargain?
pop here to see how you can save a whopping 50% on baked With Love
But hurry the offer wont be about forever.....

So this is what I have been playing with at the weekend
A lovely file from Sandra's that  I cut on my portrait it is called BBQ and you can find it in the store right here. How fun and clever! The base opens up so you could hide a pressie or two inside.
I cut the base in really strong Kraft card

I made mine slightly different as I wanted a kitchen feel, so simply made the back a bit longer
Cut a hole so it looked like an oven 
shrunk down the cupboard piece (only legnth ways not width) adding in 4 sqaures in place of the cooker, making an extra row of cupboards

For decoration I have mainly used
Baked With Love
It really fitted with my kitchen theme
I also borrowed a few bits from 
Picknix 3 Nordic Winter - The little jars in the top cabinet
Twiggy Festive Fun - The coloured fairy lights
The Kettle on the stove is a cut file that you can find here I have just shrunk it right down

The main star of the show is Gingerbread Baker, working so hard to get all those festive nibbles baked but spot the naughty little Gingers hiding in the cupboards!!
I used actetate on the cooker front and on the front of the hanging cupboard
Added in a little clock charm, lots of food and utensils , a pie baking in the oven and my kitchen was good to go

Thanks for stopping by today
Please help yourself to a festive cookie that are sitting on the counter top

Q. Why did the gingerbread man go to the doctor?
A. He was feeling crummy.
