Craft By Post - Bonanza Buddies

Since I cannot hold any "in person" events while we are avoiding illness, I wondered if you wanted to craft by post with me? This offer is only available for Australia, making 3 cards for children. There's a fancy fold involved although I will write up instructions (and photograph) a more traditional version too.

You will be able to mix and match the papers, especially with Option 1, where you have a quarter of a pack of patterned paper to play with. Stampin' Up! colours are carefully chosen to mix and match.

Option 1.

6 sheets 6" by 12" of Birthday Bonanza DSP $5
3 pieces of card - Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody
6 die cut labels, assorted colours
3 Whisper White card pieces 10cm by 13.5cm
3 die cut 'buddies'

3 Whisper White card pieces 10cm by 13.5cm

Bonanza Buddies

How cute are the images in Bonanaza Buddies? I have to admit that I've favoured the koala a bit, I guess that's because of its Australian connection. Today it was the lion's turn to star.

After ordering a bathrobe with a lion hood for a 2-year-old boy, I had to use these stamps and dies to co-ordinate with the gift. Usually I like to add numbers to kids cards, but this time I've used two - two lions, two carriages, oh darn! There's three balloons and three birds!!!

I have seen some similar ideas using punches to carry these animals to their party destination. This wasn't actually the one I was going to use, until Mason's mum told me that he is totally besotted with anything with wheels. I noticed that he tried to turn them when he was looking at the card, so it was a shame they were fixed. The lions, however, slip in and out of the carriage, and he definitely liked that!!!

This card uses the lions again, and dies that you can purchase until the end of March only. The large circle has a row of flowers attached, and I just snipped off the flowers to hide the felines in long grass. They have some banners to hold sentiments, always a useful addition to the stash. I'll add a link in the product list so you can check them and any of the other supplies out. SALE-A-Bration continues until the end of March also, so any orders reaching $90 can add a free stamp set or paper to the order for free.

I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, use the Host Code when asked at check out, and I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. The items listed below were used in my projects above, and link to that item in my online shop.
