Had a lovely couple of hours today helping Paula and her team celebrate at Which Craft in Doncaster. She is celebrating being established for 10 years and to mark the event there were all kinds of 'make and take' activities, glasses of champagne and a tombola too. I actually won some fabbie Christmas bauble buttons and of course I had to try the champagne.
The money raised by the 'make and takes' is going to be donated to local charities such as Bluebell Wood so it was all in a very good cause as well as a celebration.
I did the make and take with Sandy, who always seems to have some real cool gadget type cards to make. She had chocolates too just incase our energy levels were running low.
As you can see I made a cool stand up/fold up card. The penguins are from a clear set by Stampendous - I was tempted, but resisted as I already have some cute penguins. I think the instructions for this type of card are probably on Split Coast Stampers somewhere. It's a card style that would make great table setting place cards. I can't wait to try out some more versions.
This photo shows the stand up mechanism slightly better.
Think my 'make and take' card fits the bill for the challenges at...
- Die Cut Dreams Christmas Challenge - furry things (ouch - think baby penguins are more downy than furry, but I might get away with it!)
- One Stop Craft Challenge - Snowflakes (check out the stamped background and gem embellished peel off)
- Raise the Bar - Bundle up (my penguins are bundled up in their scarves and hats.)
- Pollycraft - Cute and Cuddly
- Crafty Emma - Animal Antics
Got to go to work tomorrow till Monday so unfortunately more versions of this type of card will have to be put on hold.
Take care everyone.
Love and hugs

Great idea! I just love the penquins and the snowflakes.
I love those penguins and as I don't have any penguin stamps I just may have to investigate! I have made this type of card before and you have reminded me about them so maybe I'll have another go. Sounds like you had good day, champagne, chocolates and craft, what more could one ask for.

Lovely Fun card Ann. I saw some instructions on Crafters Companion I think for a similar card shape but this one looks a lot easier.
You sound as if you had a wonderful time at the Which Craft day. I bet you made the most of the champers as well (:-)
Congrats on your winnings.
love

Such an adorable duo and a great idea to adapt as place cards - not something I would've thought of but definitely something I may 'steal' for Chrimbo' table.
Sounds like the celebration was a blast and no doubt it was the choccies that swung it when you debated which 'make and take' to join ... although the champers would've gone down well too LOL!
SQUEAL!
Congratu - bloomin' - lations on HM win - that's well worth squealing about!
Luv'n'Stuff
