My Challenge Card

Good Monday Morning,

Well that's it, we are officially on the countdown to the 'Big Day', it makes me chuckle to myself how excited my children still are when they get up on the 1st of December looking for their Advent Calendars! We have cloth ones that we refill every year, we just use their favourite sweets and chocolate, that's all they have ever had and it still seems to delight them.  I always do one for Paul too, there isn't a chocolate that that man doesn't like, so he is easy to please, I like to leave little ❤notes in his too, telling how much I appreciate him and all he does.  What do you all put in your advent Calendars.??

Today's card is another of the projects that I made from my DT dies from Inloveartshop.com, on this particular card I wanted to show that these 'Bag Topper Dies' can do more than make bag toppers, so for this card I used them as decorative labels.  I simply die cut the die once in any card, then 'Left the die cut pieces in the die' and run through the machine again with Berry Burst card, because the original die cuts are still in the die it only cuts the outline, which means you have a coloured base layer for your intricate die, I cleaned out the die and then die cut another in white card and adhered it to the Berry Burst base layer, voila a lovely decorative topper!!  Now you need to cover up the detailed handle die cut area, which I did by using an oval die cut with the sentiment stamped on and a little Berry Burst ink around the edges. I then stuck it over the area where the handle cut out is. To finish I placed Berry Burst Ribbon across the card front, which covered the perforated part where you would fold bag topper.
So you now have another use for your bad topper die.
I die cut some flowers to embellish the card and added a fee Crystal gem stones for a bit of sparkle!
