I decided to make an interactive card this time. It features an fun image form PB – Sunny Days stamp set. I love this fun pup so I thought it was time he was used!
Using MFT – Slider Surprise die I cut the panels and used DP for the front.
The image was stamped o the front panel without the ball, which I stamped separately and fussy cut after the colouring was finished. The background used MFT Cloud stencil.
After assemby was finished I concertina folded a small narrow scrap of card to fit behind the ball. It was added with glue at the ends.
The senitment is from PB -Birthday Bears stamp set.
Inside I stamped the dog again but towards the bottom along with the cloud stencil. After colouring the sentiment from Waffle Flowers Pawssome stamp set was added along with some old simgle letter stamps for the word ‘Ball’.

My card features the MFT – Box of chocolates die. I used Spellbinders Celebrations embossing folder on the inside of the chocolate box and gave it a light smooch with silver ink to highlight the pattern before adding the chocolates.
After ink blending the backgroud panel and splattering with water, it formed the shaker element to the card.
The Chocolate box and PB Sweet wishes die (cut twice to give a shadow efffect) was added to the card front.

Time Out has a new challenge for you that opens today and runs through to December 17. This time it is a very special challenge in celebration of Time Out’s 12th birthday.
Time Out Challenges paper-crafting challenge was founded by Nonni Niskanenand Sandie Munro– two good friends who loved to take “time out” to craft and invite people in blogland with the same interest to join them. They launched the first challenge on March 20, 2014.
Today, we will proudly celebrate our 12th birthday with Challenge #308. In recent years, we have chosen a muse to create a card for our participants to CASE. This year, we are please to welcome Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts as our muse. Stef has created this gorgeous card for our celebration. The challenge is for our designers and participants to take inspiration from Stef’s card and make their project their own. We ask that our participants explain how their project is influenced by Stef’s card. Projects can be for any occasion.

After embossing in gold, I used Distress inks to watercolour the image before fussy cutting.
It was then added to the background that featured Embossing Folder with gold splatters.
The sentiment is from a very old Verve set – Birthday Surprise.
It was finished with the black strip top and bottom and the gold bow.
