Sunday Snippets!

Hi Playmates

It's Sunday morning and time for a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND with yours truly in charge for the next fortnight.

Here's my homework:

A shaped card made for someone special. I cut and stamped all the panels to make a grungy background, then added a large silhouette flower stamp by Bee Crafty. I die-cut the circles, leaves and sentiment from SNIPPETS and added them to the card via a little hinge made from die-cut circles. This shaped card stands up easily but folds flat for posting.

Details on how to make this card shape are in my TUTORIAL page at the top of this blog HERE.

I'm running amok in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND for the next fortnight - so grab your satchel and skip on over to find out what lovely prize is on offer, as well as all the details on how to enter. 

Sarn on Sunday!

Hi Playmates

There's a new challenge ready and waiting for you over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND with Miss Di in charge for the next fortnight.

Here's my homework:

Dinky little gift cards measuring approx 2.5" square - made from long thin white snippets.

Some of the snippets used to decorate with.

After all the eggcitement(!) of Easter and the game of Tag . . . I think I'll have a little quiet time up in the Treehouse. There are still a few Hot Cross Buns left over . . . I'll toast them to make them seem fresher, then add lashings of butter! YUMMY! 

Easter in the Snippets Playground.

Hi Playmates

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL.

It's Sunday morning and we're halfway through the current challenge at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. Last week's game of Tag was great fun, but I'm worn out now, chasing round after you all! Hope you have your best Easter bonnet on for the Parade later!

My latest homework is a friendship card, made for someone special who I thought needed a hug - so I sent her a paper one, as I couldn't give her one in person:

Card measures 4½" x 4½"

The snippets used to create the above card.

Card details:

• Lawn Fawn GIANT "Friend" die - cut four times (once from patterned paper and thrice more from white card snippets). All four sentiments were glued together to create a dimensional stack, then added to the card front. I was careful to retain the "fall out" from the patterned paper die cut so that it could be stuck back in place. 
• Ancient (but adored) flower punch for the 3 flowers.
• Craftwork Cards "Card Candi" for the flower centres.

Di has published the RESULTS from her previous challenge, so please hop over to the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND to admire the top picks and discover who won the prize.

PS: Did you see that I'm having a little Easter giveaway HERE? Please feel free to enter.

Sarn on Sunday!

Hi Gang!

I recently swapped some Happy Mail with a lovely blog buddy (thank you so much, you know who you are!).

The following ATC is the first thing I made, using just half of a pretty sunflower that was in the Happy Mail.

All I had to do was stamp a grungy background onto a snippet of white card for the ATC base, then add the sunflower (coloured with Promarkers). The Small Talk sticker finished it off. I also inked around the ATC edges with a black ink pad.

First sunflower ATC measuring 2.5" x 3.5"

I was so pleased with the first sunflower ATC that I made another, with a very similar background and the other half of the original flower - although they were made on different days! 

2nd Sunflower ATC measuring 2.5" x 3.5"

If you're curious to know what I received in the swap, here it is in all its glory! That little lot will keep me occupied for quite a while! 

All the wonderful items received from my blog buddy .

Over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND there's a new challenge to enter, with yours truly in charge for the next fortnight. Why not use up some of your snippets then come and play? You can even join in with the game of Tag that's going on!
