I'm sharing my midway post for our
furry friends theme over at
We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure
and get your entries in.
For my card I used a stamp set from Penny Black
called Ate the Candles.
I used a kraft card for my base and some
green gingham for the background paper.
A piece of green ribbon was stuck
across the middle of the paper.
I stamped happy birthday from a set called
Country Birdhouse and the small cakes are
from a set called Tabs for Everything, both SU.
The cute little dog has been coloured up with
markers and the sentiment is from the
same stamp set.
I used a set of rectangle stitched dies (SU).

I'm also sharing my midway post for our
Close to Nature theme over at
and remember we also have an amazing prize
up for grabs there too!
For my card I went with a fun fold shape.
I had saw one on Pinterest but it wasn't linked
to anyone so no instructions/measurements to follow.
So put my brain in gear and made this from
the photo.
It was made for my daughter-in-law's Rachel's birthday
and she love nature and gardening.
It did take a bit of time but made a nice card.
I have used papers called Countryside Inn and Balmy Blue card (SU).
The stamp sets used are called
Butterfly Gala + punch, Forever Fern
and Forever Flourishing Dies.
I used boho blue and flirty flamingo inks
and just had fun with lots of stamping and die cutting
making the little foliage bouquets,
finishing them with a bit of ribbon.
I added some stamped and punched butterflies
along with some nice sentiments to the book side
and stamped around my birthday verse side
using the same stamps and inks.
It did fold fairly flat and slipped into it's envelope easily.
I would like to enter this into
any kind of papercraft but especially fun folds
