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!

Piano Easel Card

Good Morning!

My Mom will be turning 88 this May so I have been playing with Birthday Card ideas.  88....hmmm doesn't a piano have 88 keys?  Although she did not play the piano she did play the organ.  This may work....I am sure I will have to explain the connection, but that is part of my Mother's Charm lol

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, The Envelope Please, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday, Add A Die.

I found this video on how to make this particular card from Pinterest, you can watch it HERE.

Doesn't look like much here.....but wait for it......

Here it is starting to take shape.  I used the Gina K Designs products;

Massive Messages, Spring Parade, Simple Hearts and Just A Note.

Inks in, Raven Black, Pink Pirouette

Cheery Lynn Small Gardenia and Ivy Corner Flourish--cropped.

Yellow Bead Flower Center.

Plenty of room to write my loving message.

Amy Design Musical Stave die.

Spellbinders Label 8 die.

Decorated the envie with stamps and Washi Tape.

Added a Musical Note Designer Paper Liner.

Stamped Musical Notes and a bit more Washi Tape.

It does make for a lovely set.

This will go into the Mom Birthday Card pile, will it make the cut? 

You'll have to wait and see!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
