Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - For the Kids

Hello and welcome to The Craft Spa from Amanda Bates in the UK.

I am sharing a couple of cards made especially For the Kids today as that is the theme for my first blog hop post with the Global Stamping Friends group - a large group of talented demonstrators from all over the globe... so you will be travelling miles when you carry on hopping!

I loved the opportunity to make something for kids for a change.... as the children and grandchildren of my class ladies are now more grown up... so this makes a really lovely change for me!

In fact the No Bones About It stamp set hadn't seen ink... but I am so glad it has now! So much so... I couldn't stop at just the one card!

So you have a sponged scene super Clean & Simple card...

Followed by a larger sponged scene on a U Fold Box Card... for which the basic U Fold Card tutorial was posted here...

Spot the die cut Carols of Christmas/Card Front Builder trees... perfect timing with this early release set Stampin' Up!... I really needed those trees to complete my little Jurassic scene...

I have added a couple of extra internal/box sections to this version to add more layers to my scene... but more on that another day! I can see a Fancy Fold Friday tutorial coming soon....

And yes it does fold flat for mailing...

So those are my Cards for the Kids... so much fun!!

Christmas Card from another time and dimension!

Now I know quite a lot of you are Dr Who & Tardis fans from the response  to my Hearth & Home Tardis box a few weeks ago

 

So I thought I should share a simple card featuring a Tardis....

 

 This card only took me a few minutes to throw together....cough!

 Well... the brighter Pacific point Tardis was ready... the boughs and stockings were ready...

So I just had to grab a "blobs" stamp from Holly Jolly Greetings and Whisper White ink pad  - and stamp away on a Basic Black DL card. And it was done!!

Personal I prefer the Tardis in Night of Navy - what about you?

By the way - I will be writing up the tutorial for the Tardis box... along with a few other projects that have proven popular... just need a few more hours in a day ( or two) first!! I cannot start to tell you how busy the last 5 weeks have been
