Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 236 – Anything but a card

Angela is hosting today’s challenge, Anything But a Card

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, scrap layout, mixed media piece, some home decor, as long as it is NOT a card.

My item was a small gift/storage box in the shape of a gem. It was made using my scan n cut and the SVG file was provided by Dreaming Tree. I used a black card base, and the patterned paper was from a paper pad I got in the Works.

The scan n cut doesn’t like regular glitter card (and I didn’t have any of the Toni Darroch encapsulated sort) so I used plain black card, covered in double sided adhesive and glittered after the cut was made for the sparkly bits.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 235 – Masculine

Marg is hosting today’s challenge, Masculine or for a man/boy

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece, some home decor, as long as it meets the theme.

My card was made using a hunkydory USB (can’t remember which one, sorry!) for the backing paper and the toppers, which I cut out and decoupaged onto my favourite size 6 x 6 base card.

I really like the USBs for those times when inspiration is nowhere to be found, because they often have sets of things that can be used together.
