Challenge Card and Scrapbook page


I made this card for 2 challenges on SCS(split coast).

One of the challenges is for todays way to use it challengeWT140, and one for todays Stalkers Challenge sketchSTSC04.



I had fun trying to make the layout into a double fold card. It turned out, butnext time I think I stick to the LO. I just wanted more writing room, because I made it to send to a friend.

I used Kraft paper for the base, and SU Close to Cocoa for matting the Old Olive(Michaels). I wish I had some Chocolate Chip but I am out, used it up as well as my brown brads. I cut the SU Pumpkin Pie Piece and the Old Olive piece to shape and then embossed to the fold on both pieces.


Thank goodness the folders can fit in the Cuttlebug both directions making these embossings possible.

I slit the green piece along the fold because I wanted to
fit the Flap in it. It worked really well. IStamped Paisley on the back inside of the Pumpkin Pie piece of the card to contrast against the embossing. I think it worked really well. Then I was able to also double the ribbona nd tie it. I originally was going to slip the rivet over the ribbon , but I couldnt find the right place to attach the brads. So I attached then to the rivet, and then mounted it on a dimensional and orange matted it so it would stand out more against the gr
een flap. It wasn't that hard to make and I enjoyed being creative with the layout.




The other thing I finally finished was my last Cricut thread Challenge to do a scrap book page using a Cricut Cut not a font.


I used some paper I got last christmas in a scrappack. I then matted pictures with Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, and Basic Grey SU papers. I made a journaling area for my Daughter and stamped a sentiment from Happy Harmony on Bashful Blue also.

THe flowers were cut using my George Cartridge and the silhouette feature and the Blackout shadow. 2 flowers were cut at 1 1/4" the other at 2 1/2". It is a simple fun page to make.



Until later ... Happy Stamping!
