Dynamic Duos #13 - Pop Up Birthday Presents

Greetings,
Today's post is for the Dynamic Duos challenge this week to use Early Espresso and Crumb Cake plus Neutrals. I tried a couple of new things for my card today, Double Embossing with the Big Shot and a Pop Up on the inside of my card. I followed a tutorial by Lisa Young for the pop up. I paper pieced the presents on the front of the card and added the little flowers and pearls. The ribbon is actually Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots, but it is more the colour of Early Espresso than Chocolate Chip. I love how the pop up turned out, it is easier than it looks to make.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stamp It - Gifts of Joy 2991E Yvonne, S/U's Vintage Labels
Card and Papers: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, DSP Patterns Stack - Neutrals Collection, Mocha Morning Specialty DSP

Merry Monday Challenges July - Xmas Stockings

Happy Monday Stampers,
Today's post is for the Merry Monday July Sketch Challenge.  We are to use one of the old sketches and reinvent them for the month of July. This week I have used #12, it fitted in nicely with my design. The Silver Christmas Stockings are Stickers that I applied to acetate and then cut out, it gives them a bit more dimension than just sticking them straight onto the card.  You can also add other bits of the stocking detail if you use this process. I used the Adorning Accents Die and Embossing Folder to create my Mantle piece and then added the arrangement, stockings and ribbon for decoration.

This card was awarded the Winner's Badge for Merry Monday's July Challenge.

Supplies:

Stamps: Papertrey Ink Urban Design by Ali Miles Communique Curves

Ink: Basic Grey

Card and Papers: Whisper White, Clear Acetate, DSP Patterns Stack, Neutrals, Going Grey (R), Wild Wassabi, Cherry Cobbler

Finishing Touches: Upikit Peel Off Sticker's, Glimmer Paper, Silver Brads, Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin Ribbon
