Love is in the air at the Just For Fun Challenge Blog

Good morning from a cold and battered Ireland. 
We fortunately didn't suffer too much damage and my heart goes out to all my friends in Ireland and the UK who have been washed out of it, and hope there wasn't too much damage sustained.

Well February is the month of love and here is my card for the Design Team over at the Just For Fun Challenge . 
This months challenge is 'Love' and I decided to do do hearts. It is a simple card with an embossed card in the background and a punched lace border in black card on the top and the bottom of the red card.

I cut the hearts from the same red card and edged them in black stickles, If you haven't black stickles then edge them with ink or matt and layer them with black card. It just enhances the shape.
 Then I mounted them with foam pads on the white die cut shape. 
I added the bow and little red roses (for valentines) and the black pearls to finish it off. 
I hope you inspires you to join in the fun at the challenge and there is a prize this month too. Scroll down all the DT samples and you will find the Link to put up your card.

Have fun and happy day to you,
Kay XX

Second Christmas Fun DT Card

Well 'hello' to everyone from a wild, wet and windy SE Ireland.
It's perfect crafting weather. 
Today I have my second Design Team card for the Christmas Fun Challenge Blog.

It's great making Christmas cards during the year as there is no pressure to get them all done.
The challenge this time is Cute Christmas. Use a cute image on your card.
When I looked through my Christmas stash the Forever friends cuties popped out at me and that's what I used.
I matted and layered gold and patterned paper to match on an A5 card. Then I added some punched 'paper lace', ribbon and a decorative circle. I then mounted the 'cute' topper with foam pads onto the circle. Some peel offs and a sentiment to finish it off.
