Colorful Catcus -- Shaped Card at International Art & Soul

Our fabulous Design Team at the the International Art & Soul Challenge has been crafting together online for years ... we have a real bond, despite being sometimes continents away from each other. We have a wonderful team leader, and this year we've decided to have each member sponsor a challenge. This fortnight it's my turn!

I chose the theme of Shaped Card.

Hoppy Easter! -- Bunnies at International Art & Soul

Our challenge for this fortnight at the International Art & Soul Challenge is Bunny!

To make my bunny card, I used the Hanging Charm Pull Tab die set from Karen Burniston/Elizabeth Craft Designs, papers from Aunthetique & Echo Park, and a boxed chocolate bunny that I've had in stash for years. I opened one end and added sequins & clear beads to make a little shaker. I secured the ends with pretty floral Washi tape.

The Natural World at Christmas at International Art & Soul

Our challenge for this fortnight at the International Art & Soul Challenge is the Natural World at Christmas (No Robins).


If you follow my blog, you know I love shaker cards, especially snowglobes! I used a lovely clear stamp set that came with a British craft magazine. I've had it for quite a while, and was happy to finally ink it up! The sentiment is from Verve Stamps. I really liked the idea of the icy beads inside the shaker obscuring part of the sentiment.


I was inspired by the rabbit who wanders our yard at night; Mister Bun-bun doesn't seem to mind the snow or our old, slow dog!

Better Late Than Never! -- Anything without Stamps with the Unstampabelles

Our theme this month at the UnstampaBelles challenge is Anything Goes without Stamps.

Mom sent me this super adorable American Crafts Sloth Christmas paper, and it seemed perfect for a very belated Holiday(s) card! I was inspired by the optional theme at Try Stamping On Tuesdays of Peek-a-boo.
