CAGI - Anything but a Card

Hello and thanks for visiting.

My second creations is Anything but a Card and I have created a Chocolate Slider.

I am also showcasing one of our sponsors images from Paper Nests Dolls - Elf Ellie with Gifts

Here is my project: 

These chocolate sliders are so easy to make and my Mum needed a gift so perfect timing.

I love how you just pull the ribbon and out slides the chocolate inside.

I coloured the image in with Copic markers.

The image was die cut using from the SU Ovals Collection and also Spellbinders Nestabilities

Labels Ten Collection.

Here is a close up of the image: 

The sentiment is from the SU Festival of Trees and reads "A Merry Little Wish.." and I punched it out with the SU Duet Banner Punch.

Here is another look at the image: 

The papers are from my stash and I have used SU cardstock Mellow Moss and Real Read.  

The image was printed on Xpress It Blending cardstock.

The rhinestones are from SU.

CAGI Challenge Peace, Love and Joy

Hello and welcome to my blog.

My first Design Team was at Come and Get It Challenges and I learnt a lot during my time with the team and made some wonderful friends.

I was recently told that CAGI will be having their final challenge in December and with a sad heart the challenge will then close.  

On a happy note I was super excited to be asked by Cindy to join the team and be part of the challenge for December and I hope that you will join us too!

As always in December CAGI the team showcases cards and projects with the sponsors images.

So this is my first post for CAGI in December to showcase a card made with
Bestie Dolls digital image - Peace, Love, Joy

I have coloured the image in with Copic markers and created lots of layers using DSP from SU
"Around the World".

Here is my card: 

The dies used are from SU Square collection and Spellbinders Nestabilities Captivating Squares collection.

The fabric snowflakes are from my stash and there are a few SU pearls on the card too.

The soft blue colours were perfect for this card and I added a touch of Wink of Stella on the image wings.

The cardstock is SU Pool Party and Basic Grey and the image is printed on Xpress It Blending cardstock.  

Here is a close up of the image: 

The sentiment is from Lilli of the Valley and reads:
