Fun with Folds

I've mentioned before that Shelli (co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!) has monthly challenges on her website(www.soshelli.com). This month she is challenging us to create using folds of all kinds.




I made this card with the Hawaiian shirt as my focal point. The instructions for folding this origami Hawaiian shirt were found here:
http://art-smart.ci.manchester.ct.us/how_to/how_to_hi_shirt.html
I started with a 6" x 4 1/4" rectangle using the Island Oasis designer series paper (from the upcoming Summer Mini), then followed the instructions for folding. I added black brads for the shirt buttons, adhered that to a 3" x 3" Tempting Turquoise square, cut a strip of dsp from the same paper pack, matted everything with Basic Black cardstock and adhered to a Pumpkin Pie card base. Stamp your sentiment, and you're done!

Supplies:
Stamps- Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink- Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad
Paper- Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Tempting Turquoise cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Island Oasis designer series paper
Accessories- black brads

Easter Card the MDS way

I don't create with My Digital Studio as often as I would like, and when I do, I am always amazed at how awesome this software is! I wanted to include pictures of my kids to go with the Easter cards I made (previous post), but decided that the cost of printing them would outweigh the cost of simply creating a card front and having that printed, so here is my end result:



Supplies:
Stamps- Petal Pizzaz, All Holidays
Ink- Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Pixie Pink
Paper- Tempting Turquoise DSP, So Saffron cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Only Orange cardstock
Accessories- Curly Label Punch, Crushed Curry round button, Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon, Whisper White brads

Easter Cards

These are several Easter cards I made to mail back home. My friend, Kathy, and I got together to make a bunch at once. Her little one and my little one didn't want us moms to have any crafting time, but we squeezed in a little here and there between cries, screams, and naps.
