Double D, Music

Good Morning! 


A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog





Here is your Inspiration Tile:  


Music.  

Our Son In Law, Tim used to 
DJ parties and gatherings, so I thought
this would be a cute card for his birthday.



Here is what I created:


I made my 'record albums' by using Spellbinders Standard Circle dies
and some glossy ridged black Card Stock I have had for ages.
Gina K Designs sentiment and Music Stave from Just A Note stamp set.



It's a box card that you open up.



I also created the other elements of the record player 
by die cutting and cropping different dies from different sets.
The 'arm and needle' are from Lawn Fawn, Slide On Over and Magic Iris dies. 
On/Off Button from PFS Shaker Tag Book die.
Amy Design Music Stave die.
Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Circle Sentiments stamp set.
Tuxedo Black ink.
Black Embossing Powder.
Silver Foil Paper.
Brad.
Foam Strips and Sheets.
Corner Rounder.




Inside 'sleeve' which holds the Happy Birthday Record.

Very FUN to make!


Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!




You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!





Here's the prize for this Challenge:

Can you believe it is here already?!?!




Somehow I managed to get on the list to receive one of the 
Simon Says Stamp exclusive stamp sets.  It is the cutest!




How FUN!



Each day this week I will be sharing a card created from this very set.

Each ghost was fussy cut.
And each ghost has a Simon Says Stamp Wobbler added to the back.
They make the ghosts wiggle and jiggle, lots of fun!

embossed with it.  The texture is subtle but still noticeable.
