Bear-thday surprise!

Hello lovely people,

Happy Friday everyone and I'm here with my Dies to Die For DT card.

I decided it was time to try a twist and pop card.  I love paper engineering and fancy fold designs so I checked out a few templates and tutorials and then made my own version.

I kept the front fairly plain as the inside is hopefully going to add the wow factor!  I did get to use my fab new label sentiment strip die though ;-)

I made my version with square panels in the centre (because I just prefer to design on squares!) and I've decorated them with birthday themed bits and pieces.

Here's a closer shot of the centre panels;

Now, cute bears and cake was always going to be a winning combination for me so I just had to add these little MFT bears to my collection!

Here's the other little cutie...I think he may have had too much cake - lol!

What a hoot!

Hello lovely people,

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and it's another outing for these lovely MFT owl stamps.

I'm afraid I do seem to have a little bit of an addiction to polaroids, but I find them so cute to frame images.

However, I didn't have one the right size for these little owls so I made my own using a square die to cut the aperture and trimming the outer edge to the size I wanted.  I even rounded the corners just the tiniest bit using scissors so it looked like the whole thing had been die cut - lol!

I find myself a lot less worried about producing masculine cards now I have all these cute animals in my stash!  The fab MFT papers help too, and you can mix and match from different pads as I have done here.
