A Ginger Snap! PPA 171 Color Challenge!

Right

 Calypso Coral is a difficult color to photograph.  It didn't matter what angle I shot from, the result was still not true to color.  The PPA 171 Color Challenge is shown below.
Ppa 171 reminder
* The polka dot paper is from the Etcetra Designer Series Paper Pack.  It's like it was custom made for this challenge.
*Calypso Coral cardstock cut with the Finishing Touches Edgelits provides an edge for my dsp.
Flat with envie

*I just couldn't resist using the new Envelope Punch Board to create a matching envelope from the Etcetra dsp.  

*The Baked Brown Sugar card base is given some dimension with the Stripes Embossing Folder.  
*The sentiment from the stamp set Make a Wish is inked  with Calypso Coral & Baked Brown Sugar markers & then stamped on a circle punched with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.

*Both circles are pierced with the help of the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack.  

*The sentiment is given extra emphasis with the Hung Up Cute Clips.  Calypso Coral Baker's twine adds some interest to the arrow clip.  
*A trio of Rhinestone Basic Jewels adds the finishing touches.
Please consider playing along with the PPA Color Cjallenge for this week.

A Ginger Snap! File This One!

Oh my gosh, I am lovin' the Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up!  It can be used for much more than just an envelope.  Today I would like to share a file folder card.  I first saw this idea on Patty Bennett's Blog.  

File Folder st

Card & Envelope1

The Envelope Punch Board & the Trimmer combine to make this fun style card.  I felt that the Perfect Blend Stamp Set combined with a Starbuck's gift card would make a good pairing.  Somehow in my mind, they went with a file folder too.

File Folder Open Epic Day dsp combined with the Epic Day Washi Tape makes decorating this card so easy.  The dsp does the heavy lifting!

Card & envelope 2Hope you like my card today.  Because my back is still problematic, I won't take the time to list supplies.  But, if you are interested in what I used, please leave me a comment and I will post them later.
