Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February 2021 challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February 2021 challenge. .If you make anything that includes some patterned paper you can link your entries and you might be the randomly chosen winner of the lovely prize that I'm giving away. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

For my 8 x 8 card I used pieces from The Paper Boutique Winter Gnomes collection, matting and layering various paper pieces with the topper and a couple of the sentiment pieces. I then added the sparkly gems at the corners.

The optional theme for my CHNC challenge 527 this week is 'Christmas gnomes' so I thought I would make another card with some of the collection in addition to the card shown on the Christmas challenge. If you're starting your Christmas cards, perhaps you'd like to join in ... and it's only an optional theme ... the challenge is 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas'.

Home sweet home

A new home card started yesterday and finished today with the brick background of a C & C piece of card folded to make an A5 card blank with the addition of the three floral panels with the 'just for you' on the top left hand corner. The spotted paper is a piece from a Hot off the press collection from long ago. I then added the chipboard key, flowers and the Home Sweet Home sentiment.

Lots of love

A similar card to those shown yesterday - this time featuring the layered bird topper with the silver foiled sentiments with the addition of an embroidered flower - some years ago I bought a metre of these (just snip one) and I put one on the back of the card as well. Everything else was from the C & C birthday kit.

Just for you

Another card made yesterday using some of the C & C birthday kit, this time using another A4 card folded to make the A5 card blank, adding the 3 pieces of the picture and the sentiment of Best Wishes. On the left hand corner of the first piece of the topper it says 'just for you'. The foiling around the pieces of the topper and Best Wishes is silver (hard to see in the photos)

Two kittens

Two cards made just before Christmas - commissioned for a grandson's birthday and his partner's. They had recently welcome two kittens and I was asked to include them - I used the same digital, reversing one. 

On this card I added a couple of strips of offcuts and the letters for the name, adding the gold foiled birthday sentiment from Dovecraft and a couple of hearts - lovely and furry to touch.


On this card I added the striped cold foiled strip and the die cut circle (Spellbinder) on to which I had printed the sentiment, brushing with distress ink. Once again, I added a couple of hearts.

Happy Birthday, Great Grandson

Happy Birthday, Daughter

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world. Marilyn Monroe

A commissioned A5 birthday card for a daughter who loves handbags and shoes. The background piece of Anna Griffin card was stamped randomly using a Docrafts stamp inked with memento tuxedo black. The background card blank was made using a piece of A4 Hunkydory. The sentiment was generated on computer and printed, using an offcut of Hunkydory card, matted on to gold mirror card. The topper was from a Kanban kit and the flowers are textured rub ons.


Inside, using a piece of gold foiled Kanban paper:
