Crazy 4 Challenges- C4C168

This week our C4C hostess with the mostess Betty has challenged us to make anything BUT a square or A2 sized card. Gulp. 

I was truly perplexed until I remembered that I have this amazing teacup Sizzix card pattern that had yet to be used- phew!!

This was sooooo fun to make. I just cut out the pieces and folded along the scored lines and glued where the instructions told me. I love when it is so easy even I can do it ;P hee hee.

I have to admit I wanted it to look more 'authentique' so I took a gold pen and added gold foil to the teacup and plate- just like the teacups my Grandma had. I added another die cut, flowers, jewels and it was almost done. I then remembered that in my teacup stamp collection I had a set from Stampin Up with the perfect sentiment and used that plus a cup stamp on the teabag label. 

I have to admit I love it!!

Considering it is hubby's birthday today and I still need to make him a card do you think this one is to girly for him? Maybe a bit hee hee!!!

You have to hop on over to the C4C challenge blog and see the other amazing projects that ladies did to help inspire you out of the 'normal' card size. Thanks Betty for such a fun challenge!

Cheers, Andrea

C4C- How do you like to spend your Friday nights...

Welcome to another Crazy 4 challenges Saturday! Today the challenge is to make a creation that shares what you like to do on your Hot Summer Nights. I like to do boring things like read a book with a drink lol!! But the other thing I like to do is treat myself..and a cupcake is often my first choice! The second part of the challenge is to add bling and one other embellishment. 

I have been itching to make a sample with this stamp and die set from Sizzix. I made this card to demo at SGD last Thursday and we had so much fun playing with it. I really like that it cuts out the extra swirl you see in pink on my cupcake top and to further make it stand out I added some glitter which added the bling for the challenge. I then added some stamped and die cut balloons from the set and used pink baker's twine to add my second embellishment. As if I needed a reason to use more of my lovely twine hee hee!

So how do you like to spend your hot Summer nights? Maybe with a special cocktail with some friends or perhaps a sweet treat and a book like me? Create a card with this theme and join us over at Crazy 4 Challenges!
