So, folks, I present to you - Flying Father Christmas and Fearless Furry Fido with Fairy lights in a Flurry of Frosty snow with a Foiled sentiment - snigger :)
- 5" x 7" white card blank, tent style
- a layer of SU's 'Real Red' card stock from the snippets folder
- a snippet of white card stock, embossed using Darice's 'Snowflake Background' embossing folder
- the front of a 2014 Christmas card from the up cycling box. The card was circular with a straight piece at the spine and a very narrow straight piece along the bottom edge. It was just a case of finding the right sized circular die in the Tonic Studios 'Circle Layering' die set. I totally love this set of dies, there are 14 in total ranging from the largest at 14cm in diameter down to the smallest at 2.5cm in diameter - plus they come in a durable plastic package with their own magnetic sheet as well
- final touch was just a red, foiled with gold, sentiment topper - which I'm sure dates back to when Lakeland Limited sold a few craft supplies!
And this card is also for Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Card Challenge Extra for April, where it's always 'Anything goes'.
And I just realised that it's right in line with the current challenge over at Merry Monday #125 - Use a cat or a dog. Wahoo, three challenges with one card!

ReplyDeleteFabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLovely fun card, Di (with the emphasis on the f, of course - lol!). Thanks for entering both of my CHNC challenges with your lovely crafting - hope to see you again soon. x
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!!! You made me smile so much with "Flying Father Christmas and Fearless Furry Fido with Fairy lights in a Flurry of Frosty snow with a Foiled sentiment" !! I think it's perfect for a simple "F"!!, good luck with the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable with this lovely image and the embossed background, all looks great! Fido is really a cutie, so fun in flying with Santa!!
This is such a cute and funny image Di and fits in the circle you have die cut so prettily. That snowflake EF is great in the background and finished with the sentiment which matches your background layer perfectly! x
ReplyDeletehi Di can't see the picture very well as I'm on my phone due to flaky Internet! But knowing you I'm sure it's lovely! Hugs, Sarn x

So very cute and I love the fun image. Thank you for joining us for Merry Monday this week.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of 'f's Miss!!! Great card though - LOL x
ReplyDeleteOkay now...this is how I've alway seen Santa. An animal lover with a furbaby of his own. Truly a fun card.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, love it, didn't realise it was a Up C image till I read the instructions, my first thoughts were 'got to have this image for my Grandson's school cards' oh well.
ReplyDeleteI have broke the handle on my Grand Caliber, major panic but found were I can get a replacement for £5, better than having to buy another one.
Hope back is improving and you are getting lots of vitamins with this lovely weather.

ReplyDeleteFabulous fun card( couldn't think of a word for card beginning with f)!
ReplyDeleteThere are a few "F" jokes I could toss into the mix, but I'll refrain and just say this card is fun with a capital F :) Great take on the challenge!

I really like that little hit of red that the white emboss piece is matted on and the shape your sentiment is on. Great job up cycling that card because that image is really cute.
