CAARDVARKS chipboard challenge

Luke is going to a birthday party tomorrow, so I thought i'd make a card with a difference for the birthday girl. It's more of a hanging, apparantly she's having a "new" bedroom, she's become more girly - thought this would look nice on her bedroom door.


Ingredients: PP by TLC and Brenda Walton, Chipboard flowers by TLC, flower and circle punch, Quickutz Eliza alphabet, Fiskars scallop scissors, Hero Arts leaf stamp.

Been a bit busy, but made some cards...

Had a busy week settling back into school routine, also a mum of a boy in Lukes class has not been well so I've been picking up her little boy to take to and from school. Inlaws were up to, had a nice but full week so no card making, nor even my Salt challenge for this week! Please still have a look at everyone's creations, they are all beautiful and inspiring.

I've been following the career of a friend I have known since I was about 14. He's an actor and is appearing in the latest Kenneth Branagh adaptation of As You Like it. f anyone watched Film 2007 presented by Jonathon Ross, they would have caught a glimpse of his bottom!!! anyway, heres a pic I found to tempt you to watch the film...

Ok, to the cards...

Made this for the Caardvarks micro min challenge of making a card atc size.


And this one for the DCM challenge to use a word as the central focus of the design. I punche out circles along the bottom of the card and then stamped inside them to the back of the card.

Caardvarks sticker challenge

Stickers??? Who would admit to using stickers om cards? Sorry if I've offended anyone, but i'm one of those people who cringe at the site of badly used peeloffs. Ok, I understand they can be very useful in the right context.

Anyway, Caardvarks most recent challenge is to use a sticker on a card, and there's some goodies up for grabs too.

Here's my card... for a family who are having a Thanks-giving service for their little girl tomorrow.


Ingredients: PP by HOTP, sticker by TLC, flowers from local source and Prima, vintage button, and some grossgrain ribbon.
