Magnet Fairytale Scene

hello hello, today is the June design team challenge day. Our theme this month is “ Animals & Characters”, we were to use any of the people or animals from Karen’s collection. I was kind of stumped at first at what I was going to do because I had all of these little characters that I had previously made and wanted to use them. When I’m bored and don’t have a project on the go I make these little characters.

I decided to do something different, and make a background that could be magnetic to a fridge or a cookie sheet and then add magnets to the back of the characters to make little scenes.

I knew I would not get all of these characters descriptions done for this blog post. So I decided to do a different Post specifically for characters that I’ve made and will make in the future so they are all in one spot. I will work on completing them as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT INFO- I used flat black leftover magnet sheet that I had and trimmed. I did not use the tiny little round metal magnets, even though they are stronger because they do pose RISKS for small children. if you want to do something similar, and don’t want to risk using magnets consider Velcro or adding a popsicle stick to the back to make stick puppets.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this project in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

Just Turn on the lights

This card, my goodness, has been in progress for months. Someone (John Watterson) platted the seed in my head after I posted my first House of cards Castle and asked when I would make a Harry Potter version. I laughed and said it would be a while. So I started in a few months ago and I decided to that it was time to get it done. Part of my problem was, that I knew I wanted to make it but I wasn’t sure for who. So I decided to make it for me. This quote has always resonated something in me, from the first time I heard it. I thought I would pull out all the stops, and make a card that I can enjoy for myself. So I did.

While making the card I didn’t take photos of every detail, I did a bunch of fussy cutting dies to make the different pieces. I did use mostly Karen Burnistons diesets. I don’t want to take a month to make this post so I will give the card base and Castle details but I may miss a few things. If I am missing something that you want to know please message me and I will reply.

I absolutely love how there are so many ways to use Karen’s dies, can you believe that my castle was made using the House of Cards die set. You can most definitely use it to make a house of cards, but by adding a few pieces from the Castle Pop up dieset I made this over the top castle. It is an absolute wow card when opening to reveal the castle.

I am soooo excited to share this card, it has been brewing in my brain for a really long time. I had visions of an under water castle with mermaids and sea creatures but never took the time to actually make it and then….. Karen came out with this release and I knew that it was time. The jellyfish and sea horse from the Sea charms are so adorable and the crabs, well there is a whole family of them now. I also used the new Beach Borders, a few pieces from the Beach Bar Tiny House Add on and the Rectangles and Labels Crosshatch. This is what I came up with
