Joy Fold Poppies

Supplies: Stamps: SU Painted Poppies  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and VersaMark Paper:  SU gray granite and Gina K heavy base weight white and black onyx Accessories: Copic markers, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, gem, black mini dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  What a beautiful Sunday it is today!!  I should probably be outside taking in the sunshine, but I am in my craft room making a card for the featured stamper challenge!  And doing laundry, dishes, and cleaning! LOL!  This week's featured stamper on Splitcoaststampers is Sandy.  I found this card in her gallery to CASE.

To make my card I followed the Joy Fold tutorial.  I changed the color scheme of my card, used some smaller poppy stamps, and added some ribbon to focal image.  I stamped my background paper instead of using patterned paper.  I also used a butterfly to keep the card closed.  I punched out three butterflies and adhered them together so it would be a stronger closure.  

That's all for now, 

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp TV Christmas Challenge

I'm glad that Stamp TV is having these Christmas Challenges, it is getting me thinking about Christmas cards! Maybe I will get them finished early this year! This weeks challenge was to use a die cut or a punch. I love die cuts, so I had to use one! The snowflake that keeps this joy fold card closed is the die cut I chose. It is a Sizzix emboss and cut out die cut. I also tried out Gina's window technique that she shared on Stamp TV using the stamp set Blessed is the Season.

I tried the capture the glitz and glimmer here, I used my Sakura glitter pen to add some sparkles for the snow. But it was hard to get that on my picture.

And here is the inside. I stamped my image off once before stamping it on the inside so you can see the sentiment that I stamped in brown. You can see it better in real life, my pictures aren't the best today! I also added another snowflake on the inside, just because I love the snowflake! My papers are from Basic Grey's 6x6 Waissil Paper Pad.

Thanks for looking!
