A Die a Day

Welcome to the challenge for Hiding In My Craft Room for this week we are using dies... 

I have used a combination of metal dies and cricut dies. The clothes line is from Cricut cartridge Straight from the Nest, The grass is from Plantin Schoolbook 

I have just got this die set for the clothes, from Papertrey Ink, I really love these dies, aren't they just the cutest!! The are called Hanging out 

I then die cut the banner using the Papertrey Ink Double Ended Banners Die and folded the ends in to give it some height. The stamp is from the companion Hanging Out stamp set 

So now it is your turn to join us at Hiding In My Craft Room Challenge # 68 

Have a very Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Fairy Minnie

Welcome all to the Simply Sunday Challenge at 

Getting Cricky. 

In case you didn’t know, each stamp set benefits charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to help the charity noted on the stamp set package. Currently Kristal supports the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. In addition, Kristal personally donates $1 from each set sold and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. You can feel good knowing that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs Art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

K Andrew Designs Art Stamps also stimulate the broken and wounded economy because they are all made and assembled in the USA! This is hugely important to Kristal and ensures not only that product materials are safe, but that jobs are being provided and maintained in America.

So today's challenge is.... "Fantasy Land"

So I have made a Minnie Mouse card with a twist. 

Now, Minnie Mouse is not a Fairy but I thought to make her more on the fantasy side she would need a set of wings.  

I used 2 Cricut carts for this image. The first of course is Mickey and Friends for the Minnie image, and the wings are from Straight from the nest. 

The background paper is My Minds Eye Spots paper pack, and the ribbon is from spotlight. 

For the sentiment I have used K Andrew Designs stamps set Positive Thoughts

I punched the label from a stamping up punch then stamped the sentiment on it. I then went over the sentiment with a glitter pen to give it some shimmer.

I have then used Liquid pearls to add some colour to the tag and Kindy Glitz on Minnie's dress and bow, what is a fair without glitter!?!  

Here is the video

I would have to say this card is one of my all time favourites!!

 So now it's  your turn, come and join us at Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday Challenge!!

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Butterfly Flower Pot

Hi all, Well it is just about spring here in Australia, the flowers are just starting to bloom after one of the coldest winters ever brrrrr!! So for my next card for the Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge I made it very Spring like. We have to use Straight from the nest, So I decided to use the cute flower pot from pg 48 and the flower from pg 53. 

I have also cut the Butterfly,the flower on the pot and the grass from this cart. And believe it or not this cart does not have any clouds on it, but it does have a cupcake, so in my Gypsy I removed the  sprinkle dots from the top layer and there you go clouds!! I cut them twice to give them extra demention.

I have used the Caramelo Cuttlebug folder for the embossing. Then of course Scrappy Moms Stamp "Specially for You" from the "Sweet Somethings" stamp set, I then used the Scrappy Moms twine for a cute bow on the pot.

This turned out cuter then I imagined!! 


Have a Crafty Day!! Cheers Jennie
