From Courtney's Closet Challenge-cherry tri-fold #14

Yes, it's time for another From Courtney's Closet Challenge! You can find Libby's challenge for this week HERE.

I have lost count but Libby says it's #14 so it must be! Wow, that's more than 3 months Libby...we are all going to watch Courtney grow up before our eyes!


I made this fun tri-fold card for the challenge this week. I found this cooooool video tutorial for the pattern HERE.

I want to thank Teresa Payne-Neal. Make sure to visit her blog named My Life's Art!

A couple of views from the top and front so you can see how it folds.

Courtney looks like she is having fun on her vacation....lucky girl!!!

I chose red, white and turquoise (colors from her dress) and well as the 3 tiers . My apologies for the junk lighting on the pics, I just couldn't get it right tonight! Need more practice!

Stamps- Sentiment by Stampendous! Just a note

Cardstock: Real Red, turq DCWV, Designer paper made by Creative Imaginations. I guess you all know I love cherry DP!

Ink: Real Red

Misc: I dug out my old fiskar wave decorative scissors for the belly band, SUp! scallop punch, 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 and 1 inch circle punches, sticky tape to hold the belly band tightly together, dimensionals and my ever trusty scorepal! misc organdy red swiss dot ribbon.

FYI:
Cardstock is cut at 5 1/2 by 11, and scored at 1 1/2, 3, 5 1/2 and 8 inches.

Cuttlebug and ScorePal wedding card

I made this card for my friend Charla's daughter, Jackie. She got married today!

I used my cuttlebug swiss dot folder as well as my scorepal. I so love my scorepal (thanks Charla). I also used a cuttlebug embossing border named 'With Love'. These "border bugs" are pretty slick!

I kept this card black and white...her wedding colors. The sentiment is one word singled out off of a retired SUP set. Added black organdy ribbon. The bow just wanted to go wonky, but I decided I kind of liked it that way so I left it.

I wanted to add some clear crystals or some white pearl stick ons to the center of the flowers on the bottom, but living in a little town, there were none to be bought any where. Darn it! Guess I will have to order some online!

Stamps: Retired SUp sentiment (All Year Cheer 1- I think)

Cardstock: GP White, Basic Black SU

Ink: Basic Black SU

Misc: cuttlebug folder swiss dots, embossing edge folder With Love, Scorepal. SUp black organdy ribbon

Eileen's Cuttlebug and Scorepal Envelope RAK

I hope you enjoy these picture's of Eileen's 4th of July RAK! I thought is was pretty cool! Eileen and I go way back to the original Yahoo House Mouse group! It truly is amazing to have such great stamping friends all over the world!

I have a group of stampers that I have labeled "Blog Girls". They are a group of stampers or friends that I have sent links of fun blog projects that I find when I am surfing blogs.. I have been doing this for almost a year. This is one I had sent out and Eileen made me a card off of this link.

I asked her to help me find the link and it ended up being pretty easy after she told me that I labeled the link "Envelope Thingy". Pretty descriptive huh?

The original designer is Rachelle Funk of The Ink Boutique.

I love all the extra's that Eileen added with the cuttlebug and scorepal embossing.

Thanks Eileen! I owe you one!
