Cupcake Challenge 44 - Father's Day

This week Jeanette has set the challenge at CCC as follows:-

"As it's getting close to Fathers Day I thought a Fathers Day card would be appropriate, but there's a slight twist in that it has to be more than a card. You can interpret that any way you want to. If it's not Fathers Day in your neck of the woods then a card for a Man (any man) will do. Have fun and I can't wait to see your creations."

So Ive made a Gift Case for a CD - all Ive got to do now is create a CD with some favourite songs on it. Might just have to ask for some help on that one lol.

The case does stand on it's own when it rests on the back flap so it can be displayed as a card too!

Cream base card - Craftwork Cards

Papers are from "The Green Stack" from DCWV

Self Adhesive Velcro Fastener

"Dad" cut out on QuicKutz Silhouette

Stamp - "You're the best, Mum" by Inkadinkado (Mum obviously masked out)

I found this tutorial for a CD Case over on Splitcoast Stampers but I didn't want the extra bulk of the card on the outside so I took the basic measurements and my version is made in one piece rather than two.

DCM Challenge - All things Circular!

This is Vanessa's dare:-

This week, the title says it all - I want to see lots of circles, you can decide how you use them, whether it be the shape of your card or how you display circular elements within the design and thats it, nice and simple (I hope :-)).

This week I was making a 'man' card using Kirsty Wiseman's Patti Picklicious CD and it just so happened that it fits the bill perfectly for this week's challenge too. Ive used the Mucky Knees - Gumball and Spots papers. Not bad to say it doesn't have any 'flowers' on it lol. There is a pink version of these papers on the CD called Choc Fudge Sundae so you could put 'MUM' through the centre and add a flower to each of the other circles - might have a go with that later.
