Graceful Garden and Petal Garden are NOT meeting Hedgehugs

I have another, and probably the final for a while, CASE card from the OnStage Swaps I was lucky enough to get a couple of weeks ago at our Demonstrator only event.

The card I received was made by the very lovely Marguerite Moran. She used the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper and the Hedgehugs Stamp Set, which I have, but I wanted to use the matching stamp set and an easy two tone stamping technique.

When you look at the cards side by side you should be able to see where I got the inspiration, but they look very different, well I think so, what about you?

The layout is not one I would instantly think about, but I like it for  change and I decided to use the whole of the piece of Designer Series Paper, in place of the Card that was on the original version. I used the Leaf Punch rather than getting out my Big Shot, and am pleased with the finished result.

For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw. Please note that this is a gift from me, and is non-returnable. The usual Customer Gifts will not be effected by the Prize Draw, so if you use the Hostess Code you will get a share of the Rewards, as usual. EVERYONE who shops with me will receive a handmade card and gift in the middle of the following month, regardless of how much you spend.

If your order is over £25 (plus P&P), please use the Hostess Code:

SMQ7N7UR

To share in the Hostess Rewards for this month AND become a VIP. If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don't use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don't worry, you will still become a VIP Reward Member.

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue and great value at just £99 for your choice of £130 of products (with no additional P&P). Once you are a Member of this great Family, you get a discount on your future purchases, or an income from sales you make to other people; Win,Win Right?

Inspire Create Challenge 012 - Hedgehugs

Did you take part in the last Challenge, I loved that sketch, it just made it so simple to put my card together. This time we have a Theme for you - Animals. As I have fallen in love with the Hedgehugs stamp set in the Spring Summer Catalogue, the choice was easy.

I thought I would make a fun and really cute card, which is perhaps not my usual style. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I really like the look of Poloroid photos, which are quite a 'thing' in Scrapbooking at the moment, so I thought I would borrow that style for this project.

A bit of simple masking and some colouring (both on the stamps and on the images) and it all came togethere really easily. Add some texture with the Dynamic Textured Impressions Scattered Sequins Embossing folder and it was done. And it is really cute, and I LOVE it.

I hope you will hop over to the Inspire Create Challenge website (just click on the image above) and take a look at what my fellow Design Team Members have come up with, and then have a go. We love to see all your entries.
