Tre's Chic

So, did you ever have one of those days? I woke up and was going about my day then remembered Wednesday is my day to post. YIKES!!! Well this is what my brain did. I started with a great piece of K & Co. double sided really thick pretty paper. I also decided I was wanted a different fold than just a plain card. So I cut my paper 5 1/2 X 12. Then I used a borrowed Score-it and made a score line at 2" and 4" and folded the card. I wanted the pretty side with a bit of color on the flaps so I cut 2 strips to go on each flap.

Next, I used a couple of die cuts from Spellbinders but cut them out with my Cutttlebug! I had never done this and it worked like a dream. (of course) I then ran the label through the Cuttlebug using an embossing folder. I also stenciled the design onto the focal piece.

I decided to add some more interest to the card front so stamped my fav collage stamp by Stampers Anonymous several times with Espresso Ink. I also stamped the words in the upper right corner and attached a Prima collage flower in the lower left panel. Then I added the bit of ribbon that would carry trough to the open card.

I cut and embossed the label a second time and layered it over the ribbon on two other layers. Both layers were embossed, corner rounded and distressed with more Espresso ink. I love the layers and all the texture.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to create for this blog! Hope you all enjoy.

Happy Creating!
