Today I am sharing the card holder that I made for my MIL for Christmas. The tutorial you will find on Stempeleinmaliens blog site. I have used Cardmadfairy Creations digital flower images for the cards and the holder. Also tried to stick to the same papers and card to give a bit of a theme....not something I normally do. I have coloured all the images with my Stampin Up inkspots and blender pen. Then added some Kindy Glitz to the petals. The card and paper are from a Stampin Up set that I won from Ruth and am not really sure on the colours.
I am entering all of these creations into the No No Challenge at Stamping Vacation........the challenge is to not use any punches.
Side view of the concertina folder. Surprisingly easy to make. |
I really like the colours of this card...they are all stamping up colours. Finished this card with faux stitching around the edge of the topper. |
The photo doesn't show but I have added Kindy Glitz to the petals and Dimensional Magic to the centres. I do think this card looks much better in real life. Now that I look at the card on here I am thinking I should have put a little more on the strip along the bottom......too late ..... present is all wrapped. Take care and I will have another scheduled post again soon I am sure. I am so hoping these are all working otherwise I have lots to show you in January. :-) Oh and the third card I scheduled a post for a couple of days ago as I wanted to enter into another challenge. The Build-A-Sketch Challenge at Stamping Vacation. Just a reminder on the prize this month at Stamping Vacation. For the month of December we have CARDMADFAIRY as our sponsor. Jenni will be giving away a $15.00 gift certificate and there will also be a $10.00 gift certificate to Scrap Attack! The winner will be randomly chosen on January 1st! We will be showcasing their stamps throughout the month. |
