A Pot of Gold!!

Welcome everyone, one more day to the my big giveaway but for today it was challenge time!! I love doing the challenges, they just inspire me and guide me to craft something, so a BIG THANK YOU to all who host the challenges!!

As for my project I decided on a shape card, yes a pot of Gold, wish I had one.

The pot was cut with the Simply Charmed cart at 4" and the Leprechaun at 2". I add stickles to the gold and shamrock and added a scallop circle so my Leprechaun would show up better. I also added a button with my ribbon and a brad. Stitched around the pot and stamped the cute little Peachy Keen face with a Wide eyed Kids stamp.

Triangle Tri-Fold Card

I created this card for a challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #19-- a green theme with some ribbon somewhere on the project, The Paper Variety-Lets See Green and Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #3. The Challenge was to create a project using green, white and one optional color.
This is the first time I tried a Triangle Tri-fold, and it is not to difficult. I took a 4x12 piece of cardstock and scored it 4 and 8". Then you score your fist block from corner to corner on a diagonal and repeat for the last block, make sure you score them both in the same direction. Fold them in opposite directions so they meet each other when you close the card. I then add 2 scalloped circles, when you attach the pop dots only attach to the one half of the fold so you can fold your card and your ribbon goes under this scallope to tie your card closed. I know this is not very good directions, there are some fabulous Utube videos, just google a Triangle Tri-fold card and you'll have one made in no time.
The cupcake cut is From My Kitchen cart and the stamped sentiment is from my very first Papertrey Ink set, love them. The inside sentiments are computer generated. If you have any questions on how to make this card will be happy to try and answer. Come join in on all the fun and thanks for stopping by!!

Frames Made With Border Punches NICE!!

Just wanted to share this new technique (new to me) that I came across. These are frames made with border punches. You take a 3x3 piece of paper center it in you punch, punch and then turn and repeat process 3 more times, how eays is that!! I love them, a different look for each punch. I found these on a wonderful sight DOstamping, she has a fabulous tutorial on it. I hope you'll check it out. Be back later with a project finally, I hope.
