Welcome from Tanya’s blog. 

This week we have a Theme Challenge. 

This is what we had to work with: 

This is what I came up with: 

I did a Z fold card for this project but did find it a little difficult to photograph to show the "Pop Up" effect. I do love how it shows off the Festive Birthday DSP so well though.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #70

Welcome from Kathryn's blog.

This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

Another birthday card this week:

I really like how using Vellum for the top layer still allows the bottom layer of DSP to show through. You don't lose the effect of the DSP but it gives it a little bit of softness and also means that the sentiment does not get lost in the business of the DSP. Using Washi Tape on the edges of the Vellum gives it some definition.

Welcome from Annette's blog.
Colour challenge time again.

This would have to be one of my favourite colour combos at the moment and because of that I have three cards this week.

Case'd from Debbie Lever

This cards was so quick to make that I decided that I needed to do another one to give myself a bit of a challenge.

Case'd from Stef Perry

I am thinking that I am going to make a set of these cards using some of the other Hello You Thinlits Dies. To give to my Grandma for her birthday in April. The most time consuming part is fussy cutting the flower layers, but I love the depth that it gives to the card.
