I have used the Raindrops Die from LLLC's

to create a stencil and then used 3 different Inks in

Whipped Spackle and sprinkled with glitter to create a background.

Tim Holtz Crazy Birds, Cat Crazy and Dog Crazy Meet Lawn Fawn Christmas

Hi Everyone I am here this week with my card for
The Rubber Buggy
I created a card where

Tim Holtz meets Lawn Fawn. So I have used this

really cool Dog from Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs and the

Cat from Tim Holtz Crazy Cats. The accessories are from

Tim Holtz Mini Bird and Crazy Things and

Tim Holtz Crazy Things these are such great sets as they mix

and match so well. Looking at it now I think I might go

back and pop a Crazy Bird behind the Cat from

Tim Holtz Bird Crazy pop back later and I will add a pic to the

bottom of this post.

So I have used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Pop - Up

it is so easy to use and looks so effective. I have also used the

Lawn Fawn Cheery Christmas - Stamps and Dies as

I needed a Christmas Tree. The background is smooshed

with Tim Holtz Distressed Inks in the colours of Evergreen Bough

and Festive Berries and I have sparkled lots of things here with

Wink Of Stella Clear.

I have used the Lawn Fawns Scripty Words and Dies

for the sentiment and teamed it up with Lawn Fawn Cardstock

and Lawn Fawn Ink

Here you go with the Extra Crazy Bird.

I added Sequins too.

The Aquas are very vibrant IRL but just couldn't get that in the photo.

Much prefer it with the Crazy Bird.

All these products and more are avaliable at the

The Rubber Buggy Shop and don't forget to visit us on Facebook look for the Videos

down the side too, Instragram and the Rubber Buggy Design Team Blog

where there's a post nearly everyday from one of the team.

Enjoy your Crafting Week Everyone!
