Stampin' Up! Fox Builder Punch fun 2

Welcome to another post on A Crafty Cat.  Today we play with the Fox Builder punch and have a little fun creating various cute little animals.  My first creation was a case from pinterest - Nikki Spencer - just love this layout and the little raccoon which I stamped using the stripped tail, face, eyes and nose, legs and ears from the set Foxy Friends

Stampin' Up! Fox Builder punch - Raccoon

I raised the head with a dimensional to give the card a bit of dimension...  The petite flower is centred with the flower from the Tree builder punch.

Stampin' Up! Fox Builder punch - Raccoon

Next I had to create this gorgeous card - that could be used as a Christmas card with that tree in the background!  Again this card was cased from pinterest...the background embossed with Woodland Embossing folder   The beaver - inspired by Heather Payne and her creation featured in a post earlier this month - love this card...

Stampin' Up! Flower Pot Card using "Flower Shop" & "Petite Petals" 1

Every once in a while, each one of us is lucky to have someone very special enter our lives.  I have been fortunate to have many enter and stay, some enter and go.  I wanted to celebrate two of these wonderful women that are currently in my life, with a workshop hosted for them so they could attract the freebies.  The theme a Pot of flowers that never die - very fitting... These are the creations of those that attended the celebration.

2014 Catalogue Launch - Z fold cards 2

To launch the 2014 - 15 Stampin' Up! catalogue, for Kathryn Free in Logan, Qld, Australia, we featured a project utilizing the Z fold card.  This is a very simple card to cut and fold as shown HERE by Dawn Griffith.  These cards were created at Kathryn Free's Catalogue Launch...

A Crafty Cat: Z Fold Card, very stunning in Black and Real Red highlighting the Stampin' Up! sets of Papillion Potpourri

Instructions:-
I cut a piece of 12x12 card stock in half to give me a 6"x12" piece of cardstock
I then scored the 12" length at 4 and 8".  These are the fold lines to make the Z
I measured and marked 4 1/2" on the 6" length and then cut from the 6" point to the 4 1/2" point to give me the angle which is the feature of the Z fold card.

Diane Jackson always creates something beautiful, just love the colour combo of her Z fold card...

A Crafty Cat: Z Fold Card, very stunning x Diane Jackson, highlighting the Stampin' Up! sets of Flower Shop & Petite Petals

The girls enjoyed having a card base made in seconds, the challenge was then to embellish it.
For me, this took some time but for others, no problem at all. 

I just love trying out and dressing different card folds, hope this inspires you to try this very simple fold and to dress it up too!

Have a purrrfectly crafty good day,
love
