MTW May Mini Challenge - LOL

Hi everyone,

Welcome to a new challenge at More Than Words!




This month we figure we could all use a little laughter in our lives, so we're asking you to use the word LOL on your mini project.


The Mini Challenge runs on the last two weeks of each month and is for:
 cards, tags, ATCs and postcards only.  

This challenge requires you to use a specific word on your project. 
We must see the actual word

*ATCs. or Artist Trading Cards, are small works of art,
about 2.5 by 3.5 inches or 64 x 89 mm.

You have two weeks - until the last day of the month - to enter, so be quick!

Go to this post on our FB page to enter your project. 

Slim cards are very popular right now, so I decided to make a Slim tag!  This tag is 12 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

I used Pam Bray's Sensations paper collection from Wild Whisper and did a bit of fussy cutting which is something I really enjoy.  If the flowers, etc don't fit your project, you can cut them apart and reglue them in a configuration which does fit.  I did this in three different places.  See if you can figure out where! 



To make the "LOL", I die cut it from 100# white cardstock, and also from foam, to give some depth. Then I embossed it with Pam Bray's Rock Candy - Spearmint embosssing powder.   I totally love the colour of this embossing powder!  


So grab some bits and pieces that are sitting on your craft desk and make something for the challenge!  

There are 3 prizes up for grabs from:  Fabrika Decoru (Check them out here... they're a fabulous store!)  The Dusty Attic who are reknown for their fabulous chipboard but carry many, many other products as well.  (See their store here.Creative Embellishments - another chipboard company plus so much more!  See their store here.)

Happy Crafting friends!

My favorite things to tend in my home are my houseplants!  For this card, I used Kaisercraft's beautiful Greenhouse 6"x6" paper as a base and to cut my die cuts from.  The green lacey flowers were cut using Tim Holtz's Bouquet die below.


I just snipped a couple of flowers out of the die cut and tucked them under the doily at the top and the bottom.
The doily die is a favorite of mine from Close to my Heart.

I cut the beautiful succulent flowers from one of the floral papers in the pack and stacked them with foam pop ups between each layer.


The quirky little bunny is from Tim Holtz of course!  The die set is called Bunny Hop.  I gave him some sparkly eyes with tiny little embellishments from Close to my Heart called Bitty Sparkles.


I put the bunny's two little dancing partners on the inside!  

I hope I've inspired you to give the challenge a go this month.  To see lots of inspiration projects from the rest of the design team, go here.

Happy Creating!
