woodware Design Team Challenge - Handbags at Dawn

No stamping this time! Instead I have used some Woodware Handbags - JL726 'Chippies' which I have covered with paper and sponged at the edges with red ink. The sheets on which the handbags come also have lots of small extra elements that you can use for decoration. I have also used some Mark Richards gold 'Metals' and 3mm red 'Nailheads for a little bit of bling!

I have used two handbags of the same shape and size and joined them together at the base with a folded piece of background paper. Fold the paper so you have a valley, peak and another valley. From the side it looks like a W. This helps the whole structure to stand as with a single fold it wouldn't... It also means you can put a gift inside like a chocolate bar.


So all us ladies need is a posh handbag and chocolate! [lol]

Fun with 'Chippies'

For a change I thought I would post a card that uses 'Chippies' as the main focus of the card.
'Chippies' are pre-cut shapes made from Chipboard. I have designed quite a few sheets for Woodware ranging from Butterflies, Swirls, Tags, Alphabets to Bracketed Frames and more besides.
The Chippies are white and you can decorate them in various ways such as with ink, paint, embossing powder or by covering them with paper as I have done with the shapes on this card.
A large nail file and smaller ones are useful to tidy up the edges of the 'Chippies' after you have stuck the paper and cut the shapes out.

Get well too

This card was made using this set: 
FRCL081 Get Well Soon
'Ted' makes his first appearance on the stamping scene in this set. 
In the set Ted is also in bed with a temperature.... ah..
I love the hot water bottle!


I also used him on his own for a Mother's day card as he is carrying flowers.


I used a Woodware 'Chippy' for the frame which I covered with paper.
