FM142 Flower Birthday

Today's challenge at Friday Mashup seemed like it would be a simple one. However, no matter how many cards I ended up creating they never mashed both challenges. It was  with my 4th card that I was finally able to do both challenges. I was not completely satisfied with my first card that mashed both challenges as I found it bland and needed something more. This lead me to create version two. I added spritzing to the background and sponged the edges of the flower. I am happier with the card but it is still not my best work.

The challenges over at Friday Mashup this week was to:
1. Create a project with Twine
2. Create a Birthday Themed Project
3. Mash it up and create a Birthday Themed project with Twine



Here is Version 1 of my card

Here is Version 2

Each layer of my flower has been popped up with dimentionals, along with the sentiment.

Convention Funky Fold Swap - Tent Fold

I did this card for a swap for convention. We were allowed to use retired DSP but everything else had to be current. This is a very simple funky fold but it is nice to have something a little different than the standard card. All you do is cut your cardstock base at 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". When you adhere the "topper" of your card (the oval flower shape in my card), make sure the full card height doesn't exceed 5 1/2". If it does, it will not fit in your standard card envelopes. 

This card is super easy and would be great with any of the new framelits.
