Hedgehog Happiness

I am back with the second of the 2 cards I was asked to make.  This time I was itching to use the new designs by Joset from Elizabeth Craft Designs new Hedgehog and Mushroom dies.  I placed these on the LORNA Label Pop up from Karen Burniston and they can both be purchased from Crafts U Love on the same page HERE

I love the soft finish card stock and I have used it for the Mushrooms, cutting just in white and use sponge Daubers and Distress Inks to colour these die cut pieces in.  It make die cutting much quicker when you cut all from white and then colour with ink pads.

On the front of the card I printed the words and foiled in HOT PINK using my Minc Machine.

Die cut some white flowers and inked and shaped, added a bit of bling in the middles with Paper Mania Shimmer Domes.

On the inside as you can see I used as well as the Hedgehog and Mushroom an older Balloon die set  from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I added a fun Party hat to the hedgehog from Props 1 set from Karen Burniston

and all layered onto the LORNA LABEL pop it up.  Added the eye and mouth detail with a pen

and a little rosey pink cheek with watercolour pencil.

Long time

Hey bloggers. Apologies,  its been a busy time. Crafts u love demo then onto summer hols. Just seems  to be one thing  after another.  ITV came  this week to film me in the Crafty Palace!  for the Lorraine Show. Air date tba... seems  my Palace just draws people in.. and as much as I hate to see it hear  myself I just thought you know what, Just do it  life's too short its a bit of fun and I'd like to say fortune but unfortunately not! LOL

Anyway here is a card I made for my brothers birthday which was Monday which I was so annoyed  as I left his card at home and still haven't managed to get it round since.   Also sending my brother healing hugs as he broke 2 ribs on the Wednesday and spent 2 nights in the local hospital so all in all not a great birthday week for him.

Here on the outside of the card I have used the 

MFT TV, Joy Crafts Glitter Washi Tape and decorated with

my newest toy, the Minc Machine which I created the foiled

NEWSFLASH with the Holographic Foil

All Items from Crafts U Love

Here on the inside of the card I used the Karen Burniston Lucy Label Pop Up

together with the Elizabeth Craft Balloon and again created the wording

It's Time to Celebrate and ALMOST the BIG one! for the inside with my PC
and blinged it up with my Minc machine.

Again all items from Crafs U Love

I love the Karen Burniston/Elizabeth Crafts Pop it Up dies when you

want something a little different and the Lucy Label pop up is a very easy

but effective die to create cards with a bit more interest.

I had a demonstration yesterday using my Minc machine so I will be back soon

with some more cards.  Also a lovely (If I dont say so myself) Vintage Wedding card, once I have the nod that it is ok to share.

Toodle pip!
