Popcorn the Bear Bunches of Love stamp set
White Card
Pink Pearlescent Card
Floral Backing Paper
Purple Organza Ribbon
Pink, Brown & Black Inks
Double-sided Tape & Foam Pads

4. Mount the coloured image onto the pearlescent card using foam pads.

Cave Man Decoupage Cards

Just a quick post to show you how I made 3 cards in half an hour using a craft uk die cut decoupage sheet. The sheet I used has a Jurassic theme and is great for creating cards for boys. The sheets are great value as you get 3 images and they are die cut so easy and quick to put together.

I mainly used left over card and paper pieces from my stash, added sentiments and ribbon.

1)Stamp two images of the duck and colour.
2)Cut around the ducks or use a punch, and ink around the edges.
3)Stamp the words Just To Say and cut around in the same way you have the ducks. I stamped each word separately to get it to fit into the scalloped circle.

6)Add your announcement to the card with either a stamp or by printing it onto some coloured paper and sticking it onto the card.
7)Add your second duck with double-sided foam pads to the left hand corner.
8)Wrap some ribbon around the top of the card and stick a button to the middle with a green bling gem in the centre. Make a small circle in the end of the card and tie on some ribbon so the card can be pulled out of the envelope.
9)Add the second duck to the front of your envelope with foam pads. Wrap some ribbon around the envelope and add the 'just to say' message.
10)Using the small round punch make a semi-circle in the open end of the envelope.

Halloween challenge

This weeks challenge has been set by Nikki and she has chosen the theme of 'Halloween'. I have never done a halloween card before so this has been a great challenge for me. I didn't have anything in for halloween but after a search on google i found this decoupage sheet on the 'do crafts' website. There are quite a few sites that have great free halloween downloads and clip art.

Sharon also had the same idea (great minds etc) but she made 2 cards using both the images on the sheet, and it is great seeing what can be done with the same images. So pop over to the challenge blog for more inspiration from our design team and details of how to enter and the prize can be found here.

Also we still have 30% off everything over at http://www.onestopcardcrafts.co.uk/ but be quick as sale ends soon!!!!

Also entered this card at the Rainbow ladys challenge which i haven't done for a while
