Jar M&Ms Friend Card

Click here to enter Doodle Pantry Aug Digital Challenge 49.
Click here to see Flyin Hi DP DT Card.

Created this card with a Shabby Chic style for a friend that likes M&Ms. 

For my Shabby Chic style I used: brads, buttons, fabric that is an upholstery remnant that I got from a Live to Be Green Day couple of yrs ago that had a wonderful booth with all kinds of things and you could fill a plastic bag that they gave you for a $1 (I even know the Country of origin of the remnant which was written on the paper attached to it so ck below if you are interested in knowing also), gold inking, Kraft, lace & ribbon.

Die cut the jar multiple times: first from cereal box cardboard for sturdy base, M&Ms scrapbook paper for inside of jar and vellum. Die cut the jar lid from Kraft cardstock
 
Used the gold ink on jar lid & on edges of friend scrapbook paper on front flaps.

Embossed a piece of cardstock and cut out words: 'enjoy', 'friend', 'laugh' and 'unforgettable' to use on the card.

Stamped Joy's Life Yummy Puns sentiment on the vellum. 

Made a piece of cardstock as a band to slip over the card to hold the card closed.

brad: JoAnn Essentials - blue, yellow
button: yellow
die: memory box Tall Canning Jar
embossing: Cuttlebug Friend emb folder

Flyin Hi Friend DP DT Card

Click here to enter Doodle Pantry Aug Digital Challenge 49.

Created this Friend Card using Doodle Pantry digi, Flyin Hi.

Some of you may know that I tell people I cannot ride a bicycle unless it is a tandem bicycle but I can pilot a single-engine plane. Yes, I never learned to ride a regular bicycle and not going to now; that's my story & I'm sticking to it. When I grew up in FL I had a friend that had a Grumman American single-engine small plane. I helped fly it from FL to San Luis Obispo, CA. Also helped this same friend build a Pitts Biplane from a kit and went to the air show in Oskosh, Wisconsin. So, the pilot in me wanted to make this card and give it the gold glam look.

Changed the plane digi to antique color for gold glam look. Stamped the framing border. Scanned the stamped framing border. On computer placed the airplane in the scanned stamped image as well as the digi sentiment. Took a couple tries before I got it to look like this.

Added gold glitter cardstock, lace, sequins
