Fancy feathers
For this challenge about feathers I chose the fall scene that has blackbirds in the image. Fall is my favorite time of The year because of all the vibrant colors. I started with cream colored card stock and lightly went around the edge of the card with my yellow stamp pad then I found a fall ribbon that I put along the left side of the card. I put my image in the middle and I finished it off with three colorful buttons at the bottom.

Autumn wonder
This was a very fun challenge. When I started I wasn't quite sure what colors I had to match with my paper and I'm pleased with what I ended up with. I started with a Brown card stock and then a shimmery gold, shimmery bronze and brown ink with a leaf stamp. I stamped it according to the tutorial and then with an orange stamp, I stamped my sentiment "autumn wonder". I layered it on a cream colored textured card stock. It's very hard to tell from the Picture but the gold and the bronze are actually a shimmering color.

Critters
For this challenge about critters I chose to make a baby card using a digital stamp from Dis digis that I recently won in a challenge.
I started with white card stock then on a light blue paper I used my embossing machine and a folder that embossed only half of the paper. I used my tombow markers to color the image and then placed it at the top of the card. I decided to keep this one clean and simple so I did not do any stamping on the outside and the inside it just simply reads congratulations on your new bundle of joy.

Snowflake gift card holder
For this challenge I cut double-sided paper at approximately 6 inches wide, folded it in half and then used a punch to make a fancy front. I used the same paper, flipped it over so that the inside of the card is now the same as the outside of the gift card holder, making it just a little wider than an actual gift card. Using some fine string, thread the needle and stitched onto the front of the card. Being sure that my gift card will still slip down inside of it. I stamped my sentiment on the front of the card, used my large snowflake punch to cut out a black snowflake and put a crystals gem in the middle.

Gift card holder
These gift card holders are so easy and quick to make.. 😀 The best part is recycling materials that we use every day.
Tools needed:
1 toilet paper roll or a paper towel roll cut into thirds
Scrap paper of your choice in 2,/3 colors or patterns.
Paper punch
14 inches of string ribbon to match your paper
Fold the toilet roll in half take a small piece of paper as wide as the toilet roll and lap it over the end so the card doesn't fall out the bottom end. Then take your other piece of paper and cover the rest of the toilet paper holder leaving the top side open. Using the paper punch punch a hole through all layers at the very top in the center. You can decorate the front of the card however you would like for this particular card holder I chose a striped paper with a solid front I printed my sentiment on the front. using the paper punch, punch a hole through all layers at the very top in the center. You can decorate the front of the card however you would like ...for this particular card holder I chose a striped paper with a solid front and I printed my sentiment on the front. I used a small fancy punch to spruce it up a little. I cut a striped string long enuf so when you put your gift card or cash in the card, as you pull on the string,, it pulls the gift out of the card.
