Pals Color Challenge and FMS sketch ....

I have two cards to share today ... one is mine and the other one is Bethany's.  We spent yesterday afternoon stamping and had a wonderful time together.  I will post our other cards on a later post.  Today's cards are for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge and Freshly Made Sketches.  These are the colors to get the creative juices flowing ... 

This is what I came up with ... a very simple card for my college box ...

Stamps:  Need for Speed, Vintage Labels

Paper:  Marina Mist, White, Red (non SU)

Ink:  Memento Black, Marina Mist, Summer Starfruit

Accessories:  blender pen, sponge dauber, CB stars embossing folder, SU Strips embossing folder, Nestabilities label six die, Bitty Banner Framelits, pop dots

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Here is Bethany's card for the two challenges ...

Stamps:  butterfly (unknown), So Happy For You

Paper:  Marina Mist, Real Red, Summer Starfruit, White

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red

Accessories:  Summer Starfruit marker, Prismacolor markers, Nestabilities oval scallop dies, CB sticks embossing folder, Martha Stewart border punch, ribbon (non SU)

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I think Bethany's card came out absolutely adorable!  I love the little bow she added to her butterfly.  The funny thing about her card is that she got it all put together and then realized the base (Marina Mist) was upside down so the card opens up backwards.  Of course, she says it is my fault because I used it to see if I wanted the same color as my base and put it back wrong.  Gotta love stamping with someone!  :)  We both had a good laugh!

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Gift Card holder

Happy Friday Friends!  Today I'm posting a gift card holder that I made for Michael to give to a buddy that was having a graduation party.  I got the design from SAZCreations over at Splitcoast.  

Stamps:  Happy Greetings, So Happy For You

Paper:  Night of Navy, Tan (non-SU)

DSP:  Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango

Ink:  Night of Navy

Accessories:  Nestabilities oval dies, twine, brads, label punches

All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

Here is a picture of the inside ...

• Above the orange panel is where the gift card slides in.  I should have put it in there for the picture.  
• The measurements are ... 4 x 12 cardstock scored at 4 inches and 8 inches.  The third panel is trimmed before being folded over and attached.
• Michael's friend is also heading to Auburn this fall.  I used the school colors for the DSP.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I am heading to Birmingham with Michael for soccer.  He is playing in the Alabama Sports Festival this weekend.  It is like the Olympics for the state.  He has participated in the soccer event for the last two years.  It is always fun and HOT!  I will miss Bethany not going with me ... darn job.

Have a great day,
