Sunday Challenge...AND ALSO

Its my turn over on Dotties World and I have set the challenge...
AND ALSO..........
I would like you to make a card or something using a Download from Charmed Cards and crafts...And also....... include something that can be removed,it could be a tag,bookmark,notelets etc. This card I used my own design
It is folded so when it opens out
It has pockets to put money or gift vouchers in.
I used images from The Christmas Collection over on Charmed cards,the lovely sentiments are 'lil messages' and the lovely patchwork paper is by The English paper company. I used my Cropadile to add the eyelets which secure the pockets,this can also be used to attach ribbon or tags to to close the card.

Halloween!!!

This lot is made using Louises brand new 'Halloween collection' available on Charmed cards.
For the trick or treat bag,I used Karen foster paper for the back ground,Snag 'em Imaginsce Clear stamps for the 'Happy Halloween' greeting,also available from Charmed Cards and the delightful group image of all the trick or treaters themselves from the Halloween collection.
For the straw I again used the Halloween downloads,this time using the individual images and re-sizing them on word,then i laminated them and attached to straws,which i picked the co-ordinating colours to match the images

Sunday Challenge...Christmas

This week over on Dotties World
Its Juliets turn to set the sunday challenge and its Christmas,use a Charmed download and make it Christmas, it ofcourse doesnt have to be a Christmas image, as I have used,sleeping kitty from the Cat collection

I printed on to a sheet of water slide decal transfer,after adding the colour to kitty on paint,as this was a transclucent download. When the images has been printed I cut it out and spray with Crystal Acrylic spray vanish, this make the transfer image water proof,then you can treat it like a decal,by soaking backing off in water for 30 seconds and placing on the glass,then carefully squeegy the water out to make te decal adhere to the glass.
This is now washable after 24hrs left to dry,but not dishwasher or microwave proof,also you mustnt soak the glass or the transfer will eventually dissolve.
I am going to make a set for Christmas,as they can be used for wine or a dessert,they make ideal gifts and the images could be changed to an anniversary or special birthday or engagement etc.
