Hullo there everyone! Well, had this ultra cute card from Christmas last year. Decided for Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge, it needed upcycling to make a child's card ~ that was this week's criteria.
So decided to use a die cut inside image.. to see how to do this step by step (as it's bit tricky but not hard), see this step by step post here .. it is so well worth it!
These are (to me) a new Spellbinder Labels 25, and like them as they are quite big but still fit into the bug! Used with Christmas white embossing folder from winter wonderland set, hard to see tartan 5 x 7" folder and bit of bling with gold paper highlighted edging!
Just love the Aussie animals on this card - there is a bird, Kookaburra, two marsupials Koala (not a bear) and Wombat... and "P-e-a-c-e" ~ "We have peace with God, through (His Christmas gift) the LORD Jesus Christ". Rom 5:1

Thanks so much for popping, thanks even more if you stop for a chat! May the LORD bless your day wherever you may be!

What an adorable card! I really like the way you showcased this super cute image. Thanks for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAs you well know, making cards aren't my "thing" but I sure enjoy looking at your creations. I do send lots of cards to people for different reasons and I wish I had an iota of your talent to make my own.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend my friend,
Blessings,

Such a sweet and delightful card, Shaz :) And I loved the Scripture that you shared.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
Super card, Shaz - thanks for entering both CHNC challenges x
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect die to work with your other diecut & the sweet Aussie animals. Enlarging did bring up the EF design as well. A very cute & cleverly crafted card. Nothing wrong with YOUR eyesight, my friend! TFS & Happy Friday. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou have made this into a beautiful new card

Great idea to use the die cuts this way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my rusty notebook, LOL. I always use the read more function, because I use a lot of photo's and it makes scrolling through the home page to previous posts faster. I see how it can be confusing =)
Have a lovely weekend

Hi Shaz,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful up-cycled card. I did make sure to go back and read your "how to" post again, thinking I should maybe start so Christmas cards early this year.
Your art is always SUCH a blessing to me and I am so grateful to have you share with us. May God bless your week with His goodness and love.
