FF23ShoeGirl - Large Print Designer Paper (Bring out those designer papers with very large images or designs and show us how you use them)

For my card, I found this really large, printed wreath in my paper pack. It is meant for a 5.5 x 5.5 card. I usually don't make cards that large as postage is a bit more for them. I used a piece of acetate that is measured 4.25 x 5.5 to find where to cut down the image so it would work on a smaller card front. I then glued it to the card front and added a dimensional flower and some punched leaves from my stash to add some interest to the wreath.

Now some might think well you will need to add extra postage for the flower. Yes, if I were mailing this, I would still need extra postage but this one will be hand delivered. :)

FF23tessaduck - Brenda's gift card holder

For my gift card holder, I followed the directions Brenda provided using green shimmer card stock. I then embossed just the front of the card stock to add some interest.

The collar was fussy cut and trimmed with some black gems. I used some scrap black card stock and die cut the gold belt to add a belly band to the gift card holder.

I did the emboss resist for the snowflake and used pink for my nontraditional color.

I then heat embossed the sentiment on black and popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and finished with a few scattered black gems.

For my card, I found in my scrap drawer a piece of already created bandanna paper that I created some time ago and needed to use up.

I also found in another scrap drawer the rope embossed layer.

I created the layout, stamped the horse and colored the image with copics.

I then stamped the birthday sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

The card was finished with several black gems.
