Dandelion Clock

Here's my card for this month's Lili of the Valley challenge and the theme for May is Fairies. This is Dandelion Clock, one of the older stamps but my favourite (I think, until I see another favourite!!). I used a ready-coloured topper which has been cut using a Spellbinders plain circle die and then mounted onto a Cheery Lynn Large Sunflower Die (DL181). The butterflies are also Cheery Lynn (B266) and the LOTV sentiment is mounted onto a Nellie's Multi-Frame die (MFD 005).

Design paper is from Dovecraft and the flowers and gems are from my stash. I added plenty of Glamour Dust for extra fairy sparkle. Card size is 8x8.

Pop-up Box

Here's my first attempt at a pop-up card - made for a friend's special 'big' birthday. It was fun to do - even the fiddly bits - and I'd certainly do another one. I used the most gorgeous papers (which were a freebie from Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine)  - 'Spring Jubilee' by pinkpaislee.  I used the same papers to die-cut the flowers, leaves and flourishes.

I followed the tutorial from the Craftworkwork Cards blog  but made my own template.
