COLOURFUL SEASONS - FROZEN

As part of our Stampin Up Team we organise a monthly card swap with themes. The Theme this month was Disney - difficult for me. I am well aware of the copyright issues also with Disney themed products and know that you can't sell them on - although it does surprise me when I see them at shows or on Etsy etc.

Luckily though our cards for the swap do not get sold so we are fine to play around with the theme.

I got my inspiration from Pinterest from Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek who had made similar as party invites for her daughter.  Just in case you haven't guessed it its the dress from Frozen!  Luckily my children are grown so I haven't really had the pleasure of this Disney film - well I admit my 24 year old daughter made me watch it when it came out and I wasn't that impressed - must be my age.

But I love this dress - I've used the snowflakes from Colourful Seasons.  Bermuda Bay ink and Cardstock and Pool Party Cardstock.  I've also used Silver Embossing powder, some Basic Rhinestones and some of our Organza Ribbon.

I hope my swap partner likes my effort.  Phew - this was tricky.

 HAPPY CRAFTING

 

ADDICTED TO CAS #112 - GRADUATION

A timely card theme over at Addicted to CAS this week with their theme of Graduation although for the UK this really comes more into effect in late summer but we can always be prepared.


 

 I have done a Graduation card previously which was for my son last year which made it more of a Cap style card.

but I wanted to try another style for the CAS challenge.  There is a tutorial in my tutorial page above for this style of card.


For the Challenge, I kept to a black and white scheme and used the Stitched Framelits for the Mortar Cap.  I used the Falling Petals Embossing Folder, sadly retiring, but I'm keeping hold of mine.  The wording actually comes from a retired Project Life set Remember This.  Another set I'm keeping hold of because the sentiments in it are wonderful, not just for scrapbooking. I added a touch of our White Organza ribbon - shh don't tell I cut the organza bits off (!) and added a Metal Rimmed Pearl for the middle.

 

 Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog.  I love to hear from fellow crafters.

HAPPY CRAFTING
