The Paper Shelter Christmas Three Week Challenge - Anything Goes

I used the Christmas Candy Fairy stamp and coloured her with Copics and Stickles and glitter gel pens. I cut her out on a Spellbinders die and inked the edged with distress ink then sewed it onto fabric. I painted a brown wreath white and framed my image with the wreath.  My papers from from the Dovecraft "Tis the Season" paper pack. I used Alchemy Metallique to paint the lasercut birdhouse and Christmas bells. I added a variety of flowers and beaded swirls.

THE PAPER SHELTER BLOG HOP

Good Morning fellow crafters, and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop! Our blog hop is in celebration of The Paper Shelter reaching their 7th birthday on the 8th of December! This will be a two week challenge, and both Design Teams will be taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to share in the celebrations with us, so our theme for this one is BIRTHDAY/CELEBRATIONS.

If you have hopped here from Bettina's blog, then you're heading in the right direction!  If not, then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, so that you don't miss anyone out.  Our Design Teams have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky visitor, from those who leave a comment, a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize, details of which are on the main Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.

I used a pre-printed digi stamp on my card called Fun and Sun. My papers are from the Prima Annalee paper stack. I used some white and gold lace and ribbon and a Martha Stewart border punch which I distressed using Tea Dye ink. The sentiment is from LOTV.
 I added a variety of flowers, some lovely shells and gem hearts.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #312 - Border Dies or Punches

I chose the Paper Shelter Ready for School digital stamp this week for a very special girl in my life. She loves to die her hair purple, is a student studying speech and hearing therapy and her uniform is this cololur scheme on the days she has clinic and does therapy.  On a recent trip she bought a beautiful blue, cream and brown backpack, so I really personalised the colouring of this stamp.  She is always on her cell phone so I added a Marianne Collectables cell phone die cut and stamp set. I used the corners of a die cut frame for the corners of my image which was cut with a Spellbinders die, distressed the edges with Dusty Concord distress ink, and stuck it onto some corrugated cardboard from an old box (Yes!  I’m one of those people who saves everything that can be used on a card).  My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Timeless Amour paper pack.  I added a tag and used a Martha Stewart border punch on the edge.  I found this beautiful broad piece of lace in my stash and I tucked the tag into it then hot glued my flowers on.  I found a piece of string and made a bow to finish it off.

Love the corners of the die cut frame

  

The cell phone die and stamp set are a must for your next shopping spree
