WWC256 - Kath's Challenge: All About Occasions

The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge has a new challenge up for you this week.  Kath is hosting our All About Occasions challenge.

With Valentine's Day looming on the horizon, I've been making valentine cards to send to friends and family.  This one is a gate fold card using Flirty Flamingo and Real Red for the colors.  I also used the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Here is what I did for the inside of the card.  The patterned paper is the reverse of the paper used on the front of the card.

Stamp Set: Heartfelt (Stampin' Up!)

Ink: Real Red (Stampin' Up!)

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!)

Patterned Paper:  From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper
(Stampin' Up!)

Other: From My Heart Faceted Gems (Stampin' Up!)

WWC255 - Marsha's Challenge: Anything Goes with a Masculine Twist

It's Wednesday and time for another challenge at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week I'm hosting our Anything Goes with a Masculine Twist challenge.

This is the card I made for my oldest grandson.  He is in the market for a new car so I thought he would get a kick out of this.  

All of the pieces were left over die-cuts from another project.  I stamped the image under the car and the gears on the card front and added the car using foam tape.

Here is what the inside of the card looks like.  I stamped the tool box in the lower left corner and added the die-cut Happy Birthday.

Stamp(s):  Geared Up Garage (Stampin' Up!)

Ink(s):  Soft Suede (Stampin' Up!)

Cardstock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!)

Dies:  Garage Gears Thinlits Dies (Stampin' Up!); Happy Birthday (Sizzix)
