Wow two posts, one day, that's a record for me! I'm getting this one in at the last minute for the
Cuttlebog Spot challenge which was to use those 2x2 folders I don't often use. This is an S Fold card I learned about at
CardzTV. I really like making these since the folds add interest and they're easy to make. I used the folder with the mouse holding a heart giving it to the cat. (I do not know the proper names for these folders!) When I first saw this the words "how thoughtful" came to my mind- a mouse has to be pretty thoughtful to offer a cat any sort of love! My cat has no love for them, that's for sure! The paper is from the DCWV latte stack. I love the purples and greens in this paper. The front mat underneath the 2x2 and sentiment is embossed with the spots and dots folder and I punched two photo corners for each of the mats from an EK success punch. Pretty simple and quick, but nice to give too! Thanks for looking!
Just doing a quick post to get this card into the challenges at the cuttlebug spot and BBTB2. At the cuttlebug spot we had to make a card based on a sketch and at BBTB2 it was to use the owl cut from Storybook. Well, this was quite the challenge for me! I've never really done a card based on someone else's sketch before, so it was a new experience. I can't say I'm a big fan of owls, nothing against them or anything, but I didn't know what to do with one on a card! There was another challenge that I missed the deadline for that was to make a Christmas card without red and green, which is why that's what this card is. I'm not sure I'm extremely happy with this card since it's so out of my element, but I guess it's okay for a first try. I embossed the bottom mat with victoria and the white mat with distressed stripes. I added some stickles and inked edges and put a little bling on. The lights at the bottom are from Create a Critter and I believe the branch is as well. Guess that's it! Have a great Saturday night!
