Crikey, can you believe it!!!!! This is week 13 of our challenge - time does fly when you're having fun.
This week, the challenge was brought to you by our own
Gwen & boy, has she made it very easy for us -
NO 2nd part of the challenge!!!!! Yep, you read right -
NO 2nd part of the challenge!!!! In other words, you have a free hand on what you create as long as you stick basically to the sketch!!!!!!
Now, my mind went into overdrive & had so many ideas, but this is the one I ended up going with, as when I first saw the sketch, a kid's birthday card popped into my head. This card can be used for boy/girl!!!!
To check out my 2nd card, pop back in later on in the week!
Base Card -
Poppy Parade - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8" or 21cm x 15cm - Scored & folded in half landscape
Layer 1 -
Whisper White - 4" x 5 3/4" or 10cm x 14.5cm
Layer 2 -
DSP - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" or 9.5cm x 14cm
Layer 3 -
Poppy Parade - 4" x 2 3/8" or 10cm x 6cm
Layer 4 -
DSP - 3 7/8" x 2 1/4" or 9.5cm x 5.5cm
I layered my
DSP onto
Whisper White Cardstock & then onto the Base Card -
Poppy Parade, using
Snail Adhesive. I layered the smaller piece of
DSP onto the piece of
Poppy Parade Cardstock, then onto the middle of the Base Card with
Snail Adhesive.
I punched a piece of
Whisper White Cardstock with my
Scallop Circle Punch & layered a piece of
Wild Wasabi Cardstock onto it. This piece had been punched with the
1 3/8" Circle Punch. I punched a
So Saffron circle from my
1 1/4" Circle Punch & adhered to the top of
Wild Wasabi circle.

| With Envelope... |
With my
Early Expresso Ink, I stamped the bottom of the cupcake, while the top was stamped using
So Saffron Ink. I punched both pieces with my
Cupcake Builder Punch, stamped over the
So Saffron top with
Early Expresso Ink - this put the "
chips" onto the "
icing" & adhered this piece to the top of the cupcake bottom with
Snail Adhesive. I drew dots around the circle with my
SU Marker - Early Expresso & adhered the whole cupcake to the
So Saffron Circle with
Su Dimensionals.
I stamped the greeting in
Early Expresso Ink onto a scrap of
Whisper White Cardstock, cut around it ensuring I allowed enough card at both ends of the greeting, one end to slide under the Scalloped Circle, while the other end, I snipped a "
V" into it. I then used my scissors to shape the pennant & adhered the left hand end to the card with
Snail Adhesive.
For something a little different, I decided to have another cupcake for the inside, but I wanted it to pop up when opened. For this, I cut a piece of
Whisper White Cardstock 4" x 5 3/4" or 10cm x 14.5cm, measured the middle along the long side & marked with a pencil. To get the bit to stand, I measured 1/8" or 3mm either side of the halfway mark. I then drew a line on both sides about 1 1/8" or 2.5cm down, scored across the bottom to where both sides meet & cut along the lines to the score mark.

I again stamped my images using
Early Expresso & So Saffron Inks onto
Whisper White Cardstock, punched using my
Cupcake Builder Punch & adhered to the piece with
Snail Adhesive. I punched the cherry from
DSP with the same punch. I inked my wording with my
SU Marker - Poppy Parade & stamped in the middle.
For the bottom half, I cut a strip of
DSP, adhered to a piece of
Early Expresso Cardstock, then to the
Whisper White Cardstock, allowing a small edge of the White to show at the bottom.
All in all a very simple card but with a bit of a
WOW, I think!!!!! I would relly like to know what you think?
