Hide n Seek Dare

Yesterday I amazed myself and actually made a card!

I was inspired by Jozza's dare over at Daring Card Makers:

This week, the dare is hide and seek. I would like to see a hidden message or element on your cards. For a double dare, include both!

I started off making a Thank You card in my usual style but after much shuffling of card, managed to incorporate the dare.

Here is the finished result:


Ingredients:
K&CO Amy Butler papers
Papermania flowers
Felt flower cut using a Sizzix die
Coffee cup liner
Dovecraft brad
Quickutz metro lettering
Papermania photo anchor
Felt ric-rac from Paper-and-string
Dymo tape
Inking and pen stitching.

Have a good bank holiday weekend!

A Fab Parcel

Well. I've not really done much crafting since my last post, but I did get a fantastic crafty parcel this week. As soon as I saw the felt ric-rac over on Sarah's Paper-and-String Blog I knew I had to place an order and here it is:

and it arrived in a really cute paper bag:

I can also now share one of my recent cards; Mr Crafty Blogger's Valentine's card. He reads my blog so I can only show it now he has received it:

Ingredients:

Heart wrapping paper from Paperchase
Mini bulldog clip from Paperchase
Felt letters cut using Cuttlebug red tag sale

Pen stitching

Finally I just wanted to share the lovely Valentine's card and present I received from Mr Crafty Blogger:

The book is book six of Wainright's 'A Pictoral Guide to the Lakeland Fells'. I had mentioned that I would like to do some of the Wainright walks this summer so he bought me the book. Proof apparently (according to himself) that men do listen.

Have a good weekend,
