Parties and Festivals

---

Hello everyone. We have terrible weather today here. I looks that all buckets are pouring from heaven. Time to stay at home and do some creative crafting! I have some projects to share today! A lot! :0)

Docrafts sponsored our 

Parties and Festival 

challenge with Beckie at Daring Cardmakers.

The Edinburgh festival is in full swing up here and there is loads to see and do, bright colours and vintage scenes fill the streets as the street entertainers preform for passers by.

So I'd like to see anything to do with Parties and Festivals on your card.

Come to play and you can win this fantastic prize :

My designs :

My first card uses combination of new Docrafts Pipinwood Christmas linen paper collection and Docrafts Papermania Christmas in The Country Urban stamps.

Hope that you will like Pipinwood Christmas pattern papers designed by Andrea Jayne as much as I do! Love the owls pattern paper!

My second card is bit about heat embossing. I stamped and then heated Docrafts Papermania sentiment with white embossing powder on red cardstock and die cut using Spellbinder standard circles. Adhered die cut toppers stripes from Pipinwood collection at the bottom of my card. It's so quick and easy!

Third card has the most cute Christmas topper with the little forest animals sitting on the tree branch. I adore them! For embellishing I played with Docrafts Papermania assorted pastel buttons and Hobby Craft Christmas paper flower.

My table pocket was created just for this challenge showing you that Christmas pattern papers can be used not only on cards but although on fabric! I upcycled a pocket from old trousers. Embellished with lace and Docrafts Red Stripe Christmas Ribbon. It came together so quickly! 

I love Xcut Large Balloons Dies.They cut through paper, cardstock and PVA. Fantastic for creating Happy Birthday or Party Celebration cards! 

Hope that you have nice afternoon!

Come to play with us along!
