Hello… and here starts the 2nd half of the year… can you believe it? I can’t quite get my head around it!
So as it is the 1st of the month it is time for another Craftyhazelnuts patterned paper challenge blog design team contribution and once again I am working with old Making Cards magazine stash and these fun confetti themed papers and sentiment panels.
Aren’t they fun papers?
Because the sentiment panels do most of the work and the large one covers most of the front of a 5×7 I had some trouble working out how to decorate them so they were a bit special and not just paper layers.
I ended up using the cute Lawn Fawn robots to add embellishment … after all I haven’t played with these in a long time!
This one I added the bow tie to the head so maybe a more feminine robot … and the cute present and cupcake.
The second one more of a masculine robot with the balloons!
On the second one I also added embossing to the red panel and thought this pattern worked well with the confetti feel.
I embellished both with card candi from the stash which I thought complimented the colours!
Inside the cards I added coordinating panels…
And the envelopes I added strips of the paper.
All done and I must admit I am happy with how these came out… cheery and fun!
Entering these cards into the Anything Goes/ masculine challenge at http://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/?m=1
Happy crafting!
