COFFEE AND TEA - IBFS Challenges!


I HAVE THREE POSTS TODAY!!! Please stop here, take a look then check out these other two posts:


Hello Everyone! Happy Wednesday;  I hope you are having a good week.  It is COLD weather here in Wisconsin as I think winter is finally here!  

So, that brings me to my card share for today.  I’m playing along with the IBFS challenge that starts today; which is “Fancy Folds” (you can see it here).  
On my card today, I used the technique called the Pleated Front card from the 3-D and Fun Folds Cd from the Technique Junkie Newsletter.


Have you purchased your 3-D and Fun Folds Cd yet? This brand new CD has 70 tutorials for gifts, decorations, boxes, cards, and much more! the original Fancy Folds and Motion CD was so popular, we just had to create MORE for you.


All of the tutorials are in step-by-step PDF pictorial format -- and are printable to 8-1/2" x 11" paper. We even have an index with thumbnails on this CD to help you find a project quickly and easily!


The CD is $17.95 for US/Canadian Addresses and $19.95 for Overseas addresses. If you are only looking for the CD, or would like to see the full list of items on the CD, it can be ordered here:

If you have never seen a TJ CD, here is a real example from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD (the format is the same, but ALL of the techniques are different!) of the Vertical Accordion Card:

Hello Everyone and a very happy Wednesday to each of you! I have a project today using the latest stamp release that I totally LOVE. 
For my card today, I’m sharing the image called “ Stacked Love”!  I stamped this image in Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.

UNFRIEND YOU?


Hey Everyone! Welcome!!! I hope this finds you having a GREAT day! After a day of running yesterday, I am ready to stay home and work and stamp today! Check out these FUN stamps! If you have been on Facebook, you may have heard the sentiment Don't make me unfriend you!!! :) Well...maybe if you are in the 7th grade. ***giggle***


Todays card uses the FUN images from DRS Designs. Do you see that little pig flinging the mud? That would be me flinging it at my sisters. :) I was always the trouble maker with a grin. I used the Leonard Pig's Bathtime Buddies image and stamped in Cocoa Ink. I colored these cute pigs with the R02, R20 and  R24 Copic markers. The card stock I used is the Craft, Blush, Red Poppy and Whisper White. I stamped the Unfriend You Greeting in Red Poppy Ink. I stamped the Unfriend You Greeting repeatedly in Versamark on the Blush cardstock. I added the Red Gem Brads along the side and the red and white stitched ribbon. The Leonard pigs' image is popped up with Pop Dots to add a little dimension.


I hope you enjoyed my project! Check out the latest release from DRS Designs! Have a wonderful day!!!
