Trio of Fairies

First of all this post is very photo heavy but I try and not waffle to make it even longer. This post is for the new Everybody Art Challenge for a Multi Folds Card, well you can't more multi than a Tri Shutter Card.
I haven't made one of ages and I had to track down a tutorial to get the measurements. So I started with a 6inch by 12 inch card.
 I used the 3 Baby Fairies from Mo Manning and I made them smaller than usual but still didn't fit in my nestabilities, I had to make my red border by hand. It was as I was cutting I wondered how small the fairies were on the Penny Black clear stamps and how it would have made life easier to make this project.
Anyway I used Elizabeth Designs ladybug die, Kars Butterfly punch, EK Success flower punch with Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch along with the Lavish Branch from Memory box.
Finished off with Simon Says Stamps Sending and Happy Birthday dies, along with their Birthday Messages stamps to give the wishes word. Phew almost finished the corners are from La La Land.

 More detail of the inside of the card.

Picture of it all together.

The mess I made making this card and this was after I had put all the dies away.

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing our very own Simon's Exclusive Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

First a bit of a warning this is picture heavy its really tricky photo-ing a Tri-Fold Card.

So I decided to use Sarah Kay some of my favourites the first one is Elodie in her garden
 and the one below is Rose's garden.

The papers are Authentique Renew and two of the panels I've used 

Meadow Rue from Simon Says Stamps exclusive dies.

The centre panel is using the cloud from the Talk Bubbles die from Simon Says Stamps dies and I also used the Happy and All Ocassion banner set from Simon too.  The sentiment is out of my stash though so just proves you don't have to always used the stamps that can come with the die although there is some great ones that come with it but the plan was to give this to my Mum for her Birthday and I thought a swirly one was more appropriate.

Had to use a couple of butterflies and the Simon Says Stamps Leanna is my favourite even over the memory box ones but it doesn't have the body so I use a memory box one.
Now I did have a bit of problem and not just photo-ing my card I made the top and bottom too small
and with the weight of my layers it wouldn't stand up, that will be why its propped up against the kitchen tiles!!!!!!!
So the top and bottom should be at least 1 1/2 inches deep not 1 inch like I have and I possibly needed
2 inches but at the time I was thinking of making the middle panel has large has I could.
So I'm afraid after the photo was taken it found its way in the shhhhhhhhhhh (bin). Its not all bad I salvage the two Sarah Kays so you may find a card on my blog using the girls soon.

Now you know the drill to win the chance of this fabulous prize you have to enter the challenge with a new card no backlinking and you need to enter your post using the linky thing on the challenge blog. Also you need to link to the challenge in your post or you won't be eligible for the prize.

Love is Snoopy

Yep another picture heavy post but I was determined to make another Tri shutter card that actually laid flat and this week at Simon Says Stamps Challenge is for Animal Antics a reason to use my Stampabilities Snoopy stamps.

Love that I can use more than one snoopy stamp in this case I've used Snoopy Driving Woodstock, Snoopy Kisses and Golfing Snoopy.

I made the button with circle punches and using a Cropadile to make button holes and then threaded with twine and got incredible sticky trying to stick the curls down.

Look it folds flat. The papers are My Minds Eye Lime Twist can't wait for the new fab papers being release at CHA.

I just cut some triangles to make the Kite bunting and more sticky fingers for the twine swirls.

Here it is in its entirety, the reason for the sentiments is because when I first met my Hubby he had quite a few Snoopy books and we used to read them together.

Now for a HUGE thank you for all the fabulous entries to last weeks challenge over a Thousand joined in totally amazing. Don't forget there is a brilliant prize for one lucky winner and do check out the amazing creations the team have made.
