For All Things September Play Day Project!

Today I am sharing with you the second project from our September Play Day, which is a CASE of a project in the September/October issue of Stampin Success (a magazine for Stampin Up! demonstrators):


You can't really tell in the picture, but the Crushed Curry panel is popped up with dimensionals.  This is a quick and easy card.  I kept the inside of the card simple:


Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  For All Things, Gorgeous Grunge

CARDSTOCK:
     Sahara Sand:  4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
     Crushed Curry:  3-3/4 x 5
     Very Vanilla:  3-1/2 x 4-3/4
   
INK:  Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand

MARKER:  Crushed Curry

ACCESSORIES:  Linen Thread, Color Me Autumn Washi Tape, Gold Basic Metal Buttons, Dimensionals, Dental Floss Threader

Tip:  It is MUCH easier to thread Linen Thread, Baker's Twine or other small threads thru a button or small hole with a Dental Floss Threader.  You can find them with the toothpaste/tooth brushes at most stores.  They are a plastic loop, there are about 75 - 100 in a case and cost around $3.00.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stampin and scrappin,

Holiday Home for FMS #152!

Today was Play Day at my house, and this was one of the cards that we made:


This card was designed using the sketch this week from Freshly Made Sketches:

You can find their challenge here.  This is the very first time I have played along with a sketch challenge, although I often use sketches.

I lightly sponged the torn "snow" in the smaller panel with Soft Sky, popped the small panel up with dimensionals, and added small rhinestones to the top of the Christmas trees.
