Happy Hedgehog

Long before my love of owls I loved and still love hedgehogs!  This adorable little hedgie is a die from Cottage Cutz.  This is the only Cottage Cutz I own right now, they are beautiful dies, some of them have lots and lots of details, some of them are hard work but so worth it when made.  This little fellow has only three cuts to marry up, the face, body and nose.

Lot of different dies used on this card : Sizzix Flip It for the main card, Marianne Tree for the leafy sprigs, WoodWare Punch for the flowers, Cottage Cutz Hedgehog and Queen & Co Twinkle Goosebumps for the centre of the flowers.

Karen Burniston - October challenge part 2

Here is the second offering for the October challenge - I had hope maybe one more today but not feeling the best today so this will have to do.

Once again I have used the Sassy Pop N Cuts and couple of decorator dies too.  I cheated a bit and teamed it up with a Stampendous Snowman that I happened to have already cut and coloured :)

This jolly fella looks like he is just plonked in the middle of the card, with the

pop n cut cut in the clear material you cant see how he is attached.

Here is what I used :  Crafts U Love

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - October - Clear Creations

Hi Bloggers

This month playing along with the Karen Burniston Designer challenge and the brief was "Clear Creations aka Defying Gravity"  that is any card creations using the ever growing collection 
of dies from Karen and using a clear materials to look as those something is just "there" and not 
actually on something.  I have made two pop and cuts designs both using the New Sassy Pop n
Cut and some stamps too.

I will share one today and one tomorrow. :)

Today's offering was made as I said using the Sassy Shape Pop n Cut which I cut from the
packaging from some other Sizzix dies, I never throw this stuff away, its handy for cards like this. 
This plastic is strong so you do need to crease on the crease lines very firmly and it will need
a bit of a squidge down but I must say using this stuff means that the card sits lovely open and 
would be nice to display.  I used the clear material to cut the pop and cuts base to sit the bee 
hive on and I also suspended the buzzy bees on some clear strips to look like they are flying!

Those eagle eyed Karen Burniston fans will notice that I have used

two other dies from her collection.  I will link all the materials I used to my 

favourite UK Pop N Cuts Supplier Crafts U Love

My second  pop n cuts from Karen Burniston and sizzix.  

This one is using the house. Sooo cute to use.

My next house will be a Halloween one.  So keep your eyes peeled.

Pop n cuts fun

I have been playing with Karen Burniston's pop n cuts again.  These are from the snippets collection.  All available on line from www.craftsulove.co.uk

The clown was made using the sassy pop n cut die and matching thinlet dies. As soon as I saw the shape I thought of a bow tie.  I used punches to create the clowns face and hair. 

Having problems with this post so will pop other card on another post. 

Made me giggle making this card!  I hope it put  a smile on your face?
