Inspiration time from the Unstamapbelles Design Team.........

First off is our Guest Designer this month - Amelia of Stamped for the Occasion
Amelia punched the top and bottom of the tag with a Martha Stewart deep edge punch ” Scroll Hearts” and add two oval die cut layers “Spellbinders Floral Ovals and Petite Scalloped Ovals Small” to frame the cats. The flowers are from the Prima range “Soubrette C” and “Charme Rose MeadowLark” The cats are painted with gesso and dressed up with pink wax cord bows. The verso of the tag is also embellished with a  pink heart and an oval die

Lauren has decided to make a tag.  The tag base and butterfly are both Scrapmatts chipboard. Lauren has also included some lace, a doily and flower trim for added texture.

Merry has created this apple from an old paperback book using the wonderful tutorial from Cheeky Magpie here.  Merry didn't have any re-inkers so used Stampin Up inkspots and acrylic paints to colour the edges of the pages.

This lovely mobile is from Sarah who purchased the wire section from Amazon and then created the stars using her Cricut. To create each 3D star, Sarah cut out 4 flat stars on her Cricut then glued them back to back so there would be two double sided pairs.  Sarah then cut a slit through the middle of each pair to slide them together and create the 3D star.  Because they are so light, just walking into the room creates enough of a breeze to move the mobile!  For even more fun, the shapes can be changed whenever you like so the baby always has something new to watch  :-)

Susan quickly made up these two little lolly containers from templates - the heart has 4 small Easter eggs in it and the rectangle has about 10 - the die cut eggs are from card that has been twice embossed using Versamark brayered into the embossing folder prior to putting it through the Big Shot, and then gold embossing powder heat set after. 

Beth is sharing a decorated wooden frame.

Beth bought the frame from a $2 shop, they were plain wood with a black metal wrought iron stand. Beth painted the frame with black acrylic paint, and decorated it with chipboard letters, paper flowers and punched butterflies. The pink inner frame for the small photo is made from coordination's card and embossed and sanded back to show the inner core colour. Beth finished with more flowers and some bling.

JanR had made Fridge Magnets out of clear stamping blocks approx 7.5cm square. **For the record,  it looks like the paper has been cut the wrong size and it's sticking out the sides of the magnet. This is just a reflection, (the paper is glued to the back side of the block)  the paper is the same size as the block. 

Time for you to share with us a papercraft 'Anything but a Card'.
