Using the new Swirly Bird Photopolymer Bundle made working on this week's challenge so much fun!  These modern circles are so darn cute!

Folded Pocket Gift Card - DSC#180

Hi Stampers,
Here is a look at this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#180 Color My World ChallengeI am always inspired by different types of card folding techniques, so this week's card was a fun challenge for me. A few months back, Dawn Olchefske had posted a Fold Back Card which inspired me to make my take on that fold for this week's card. This is my Folded Pocket Gift Card.  I wanted to use up my Field of FLowers DSP so can can make room for the new papers coming out soon.  I was low on a few of the suggested challenge colors, but was able to substitute colors that are very close in color and still stay within the spirit of the combo challenge.



As you can see in the photo below, you can use the little hidden inside folded area to stuff with a Gift Card or Dollar Bills if you choose.  


The finishing touch was to add the little pearl gem.

Number of Years - PPA299 Challenge Card

Hi Stampers,
Take a look at this weeks Pals Paper Arts - PPA299 Card!  I have been wanting to use my Number Of Years Stamp Set and figured no time like the present to come up with an idea using it.



This was a fun challenge.  I loved the challenge trying to figure out what I was going to use for the angled layers on the card front.  I worked on the top layer and kept thinking that it needed just a little something else to bring it out and then the light bulb in my head went on....I decided to go over the stamped image and emboss it using the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Perfect, just what I was looking for!


The finishing touch was to add the little Metallic Sequins and 
the Daffodil Cotton Ribbon to pull it all together and adding the Gold to the card.


Basic Instructions:
  • Cut Whisper White CS @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2", score @ 4-1/4"
  • Cut Whisper White CS @ 3" x 4-1/4"
  • Cut Crumb Cake CS  3" x 4-3/4" 
  • Envelope and Liner were both made with the Envelope Punch Board.
