KRAFTY CHICKS CHALLENGE #709

 

Krafty Chicks Challenge #70 —  All Occasion — Lori

I have the honor of being the Guest Chick for Krafty Chicks Challenge for the month of March.   This is week my final week as a Guest Designer for Krafty Chicks and it has been quiet an experience.  Thank you Krafty Chicks for inviiting me.   The theme this week is All Occasion.  This probably is the easiest challenge because you can choose your theme. Literally Anything Goes, card, gift box, scrapbook page, etc.

The card I am sharing today is created using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set.

 

Start with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock.  Score at 2″, 3-1/8″, 5-3/8″, and 6-1/2″.  Fold the first one as a Valley Fold, the second as a Mountain Fold, the third as a Mountain Fold and the fourth as a Valley Fold.  This will give you the fun fold.  

Cut a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, embossing with the Crosshatch folder from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders.  Adhere this piece to the center of the cardbase as shown in the above photo.  Cut two pieces of  Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and adhere on the right and left side of the card front.  From a panel of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper fussy cut four flowers with leaves. From Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green cardstock die cut leaves and stems using dies from Simply Zinnia Dies.  Arrange these over the Granny Apple center piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Stamp a greeting from the stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Die cut the greeting using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies.  Pop it over the flower stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a panel for the back of the card.  Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Memento Black ink  on the panel.  Fussy cut another zinnia from the Designer Series Paper and adhere in the lower corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere the sentiment panel to the right side panel on the back as shown in the above photo.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to pre-order before a new catalog  launches so you are able to show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
