Winnie in Winterland Shadow Box Card

I'm sharing this quick and easy shadow box card today. It was another sample for the Polkadoodles show on Create and Craft.

1. Select a decorative paper from the Winnie in Wonderland CD and print it onto cardstock.
2. Use the Marianne Design Box Card die to cut the card from the printed cardstock.
3. Select a tree image, bow, sentiment and Winnie in Winterland with the polar bear and import them into a word document (or your chosen software) and resize to fit the box card.
4. Print and cut the images.
5. Cut "snow drifts" from papers and attach to the staging. Then glue the other pieces into position.
6. To finish add glitter.

Thanks for stopping by today.

It's A Pile Of Poop!!!

Charming I hear you say! LOL. Well take the post title as warning for what's coming! :D Yep it's another TV sample from the Polka Doodles Here Comes Christmas CD.
When I saw this sentiment on the CD it immediately appealed to the inner child in me and I knew that I was going to have to use it! The only thing was on what? So after a little bit of thought I decided that I'd adapt the template from the tealight card that I made a couple of years back and fill it with poop (aka Mint Imperials). I'm going to have to make a couple more of these as DS spotted it and asked if he could have it for his Christmas card and my friend also saw it and has asked me to make one for her son! Anyway, what do you think?

I'm pushed for time this week, so I won't go into my usual explanation of what I did, instead I'll list the materials. If you want further details please do feel free to email me or leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

Christmas Has Come Early!!! Polka Doodles Red & White Challenge

I can't believe it's time for another challenge over at Polka Doodles, where is this year going?? As it's stashbox stamp week and the theme is RED & WHITE, I thought I'd make a start on my Christmas cards! I know it's good to be organised, but it just feels so wrong to be thinking of Christmas in April, so I'm not sure that I'll be making any more Christmas cards any day soon!!! I've taken a few pictures in an attempt to capture all of the sparkle and shimmer, but I'm not sure that I've been overly sucessful :(

Anyway, here's this weeks card:

I cut and scored the card base and then used my Large Circle Nesties to create the aperture. The card base was then placed in a Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing folder and run through the Big Shot to create the embossed snowflake design. I then carefully added Stickles to the embossed snowflakes.

Whilst the Stickles on the base were drying, I coloured the LOTV image with Promarkers and PrismaColor Pencils before fussy cutting out. I then took another piece of card and stamped a scene using elements from the Pond Neighbours (PDZ0006) set from Polka Doodles. The dimensional snow effect has been created using a Snow Writer, which has then had Glamour Dust sprinkled over it whilst wet. This was put to one side to dry completely before adding Glossy Accents to the pond and again sprinkling with Glamour Dust. The scene was then mounted onto the rear of the card base before gluing the side flaps together.

The image was then attached to the card base using silicone glue. It has been decorated with Stickles and Fluffy Stuff. The snowflake has been die cut using Marianne Design set  LR0125. I've added some Stickles to the white flake and then pushed a jeweled brad through the centre of them both.

I hope that you'll join us this week and will look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for stopping by.
