Notes By Nina

Rockstar.. who's a rockstar.. I am sooo excited because I am a ROCKSTAR. I am actually a little in awe, definitely amazed and incredibly pleased. Thank you to the ladies of The Friday Mashup.



Alas, one must come back down to earth and get back into the glitter and glue. There is a new Friday Mashup challenge to tackle. Friday Mashup # 22, so today's challenge goes like this:

-Make a card using the Gate-fold technique  (Actually, there are several varieties of gate folds...show us what you got!)
-Or Make a card using Numbers...any numbers, stamped (if you have them!), chipboard, die cut, stickers...
-Or Mash it Up!  and make a card with a gate fold AND numbers!

I found this fabulous designer paper while power shopping in Kelowna craft stores with my sister, my little trimmer has been buzzzing to get its blade into it ever since. I went for simple or basic for this card but of course it would not be complete without a little glitter and glam.

There is the cutest little lady turning four soon and I thought this card would be perfect for her. The three center elements were cut out with a Spellbinders die, the first layer out of pink glitter paper, the second designer paper that I embossed with clear embossing powder. The stamped sentiments were simply stamped with the edges ink with a little bit of Versacolor Pinecone the popped up with foam tape. The 4th was cut out with my Cricut and also embossed for gloss.

I finished with a couple of pearls, the inside has a matching panel. The centre elements alternate to which side they open. I would have liked to add some texture to the panels but..well.. I forgot :). I had covered my embossing folder with paper as I worked... next time.

 A special Thank you to Love Frog for patiently holding the card for its picture.

Supplies: Cream cardstock, Pink glitter paper, Designer Paper-Websters Pages-Lullaby Lane, Spellbinders-Nestabilites, Hot of the Press-Mix your Message, Misc pearls.

Cheers,
