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.

Princess for a Day

I had so much fun making this card. And I love how my little circle flowers turned out. This card was inspired by Craft Roulette and I know that I never would have come up with this card otherwise. Even before I watched the episode I told myself I was going to either use a mechanism I haven’t used in a while or I would use a set that I haven’t used before. With this card I actually did both. Here are the parameters

Now I think I was pretty clever with how I used an envelope, I actually cut one in half and made it a gift card holder under the bottom flap. I think the bright colours would be perfect for a party. I have 2 crowns, one on the “P” on the front of the card, and one on the princess that is inside the card. The 3 strips of paper were used to makes the verticle belly ban. Green cardstock, green patterned paper, and flower the paper. So for my personal challenge I used the Slim Flaps and Frames and the Mini Pops for the mechanisms I haven’t used in a while, and the Word set 5- Royalty for the die set I’ve never used before.

Super Blingy Princess Party

*Wow, things have been pretty hectic lately and I wasn’t able to complete a card for this weeks Crazy4Challenges challenge.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair…..

I am sooooooo excited about this card, it was requested by a friend for her niece who loves Rapunzel and pop-up storybooks and her Birthday Party colours will be pink and sparkles (Sparkles is a colour right?) so this card idea pretty much planned itself. It was a lot of work and there is a lot of detail so hopefully, I don’t miss anything in my directions.
