Triple Treat Ribbon Cake - {PPA117}

Today's post is for the Pals Paper Arts - Ribbon - challenge 117 using one of my favorite new stamps.. the Triple Treat Flower and here's my card.

This needs little explaination but the colors are cajun craze, crumb cake, chocolate chip cs with pieces of the new SPICE CAKE (love it) DSP and a scrap of cameo coral designer DSP to add some punch.

I tied the chocolate chip wide stripped ribbon with piece of linen thread, then added the flower which was stamped twice with the Triple Treat Flower; Once on lucky limeade, and again on crumb cake. Then I used the 5 point flower and punched out the center and held together with an antique brad.

The leaves are actually the wings from the two-step-bird punch tucked in behind the ribbon. I stamped the sentiments from My Friend, but in hind sight I should have heat embossed it..

Here's a peek at the inside using touches from the front.

Done!

Sense of Time - 60th Birthday {PP#62}

Hi everyone.

 I just posted this yesterday night, and as luck would have it, I found out this morning the Paper Players has a theme challenge... Birthdays!  I LOVE to play along when I can but this is a BUSY weekend and I likely will not have to time to do another. So I decided I would come back this morning to edit my post for the Paper Players  "Birthdays" challenge {PP#62}. Hope that's okay!

This is a quick post to show the masculine vintage card I made for my friend on his 60th birthday. I used the stamp set "Sense of Time" because, for me anyway, when I recently turned the Big 6 0....TIME seemed to matter a little more. So here is my card.

The card base is crumb cake distressed (I'll just say now that I distressed everything!). with the spritzer and layered with cherry cobbler cs and wood pattern Well Worn DSP. I layered another piece of newsprint then I wrapped that entire mat with piece of wide striped ribbon, frayed one side then tied at the top with trimmed edge scrap. 

I glazed the 'watch' with crystal effects (let it dry overnight) and added a antique brad to the center. Now if you look really close you'll see I used an old broken necklace as the watch chain...too funny, eh?  I clipped the clasp on the sentiment tag from the same set then popped it up with dimensionals.

I added a few gears made from the Cogs punch, and sprinkled a few inside too.

Here's a peek at the inside with touches from the front.

Now to finish the envelope with a hint of what is in inside.

 DONE!
