A polka dot egg

This was a quick and easy card to make. I cut nine ovals from a Spellbinder die with polka dot paper from my stash. Then folded them in half  and glued them together back to back to create the egg. The egg got a little thick with all those layers but I think it will flatten and mail okay. 

If one door opens and another one closes - your house may be haunted.




Be kind to one another.

Cute card. Someone will be really surprised when they open the envelope. I hope it will pop back after going through the mail.

Hi Brenda,
What a wonderful idea for that lovely dimensional egg it doesn't need anything else as it says it all.
Beautiful colour card sstock used also.
Now your joke today takes me back to when I was away recently.
It was a cottage with 5 bedrooms 4 upstairs and one downstairs in the older part of the cottage which in olden days served as a kitchen as it had a very old fireplace in it that must have been used for cooking as well.
Well I had the bedroom downstairs as I find stairs very hard to climb on the Saturday night I couldn't sleep as my RLS was playing me up so I was looking at things on my tablet to try and take my mind off my legs.
Dead on 12 misnight the door of my room opened and I nearly had a heart attack but it was only that it was very windy and rainy outside that night.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
