Birthday & CTMH Gift Card Class 11/28/17

Oh my!  I've been so busy making Christmas cards, and I just realized I needed to get a birthday card and an anniversary card in the mail TODAY!

The birthday card is for my sister-in-law who has a little wiener dog named Holly. 

*Challenges for this card are at the bottom of the post.

The anniversary card is for my brother and his wife (different sister-in-law).

 And, I promised to post the gift card holders we made at Joyce's CTMH card class on Tuesday....

This is a cute little box for when you aren't mailing the gift card.

This view shows the unique shape.

Now I am going to quickly enter the birthday card in a few challenges and then go clean up the mess on my craft table.

Day #30 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

For the final day of Beccy's Place November Challenge 

the theme is Do What You Love.

I love playing with paper, especially if it is using up leftovers, Beccy's digital images, lots of layers, and cards with unique folds and styles.

 My goal for this month of daily challenges was to complete and post all 30 cards, and to use one of Beccy's fabulous digi images on each one.  

Mission complete.

Thanks so much, Beccy!

Day #29 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

By my calculations, we have reached the end of the alphabet at Beccy's Place November Challenge.

For this "Z" challenge, I have made a Zipper card.

I'm not sure if I've ever made one of these before.

 I used a zigzag patterned scissors to cut the tear or zipper strip.

The colored digi image is from Beccy's Nativity set.

 The sentiment under the strip is a CTMH stamp.

 The papers are from CTMH, also.

I used a 2 way glue (also available from CTMH) on the strip.  If you let the glue dry on the paper before putting it on your card, it becomes repositionable.  So even though I have unzipped the strip for the photo, I can place it back in position and it will stick.

Day #28 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

Yellow was the only thing that I could think of for "Y" day at Beccy's Holiday Card Challenge.

Well, there's yak, yule, yule log, yam, yarn, yacht.  But, so far, I've used one of Beccy's digital stamps every day and yellow definitely worked with this one.

That's Bea Bird from the Cool Chicks set.

Day #27 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

We are coming to the end of the month and alphabet at 

Beccy's Place November Challenge.

I decided to use some of CTMH's Silver and Gold paper today because it is perfect for an "X" theme.

The digi image, which I colored with markers, is from Beccy's Place.  I also colored some clear gems with a yellow Promarker for in the center of the flowers. The sentiment stamp and silver and gold foil tapes are also from CTMH.  And, finally, I added a green and gold edged bow, which looks like an "X".
