Red and Gold

For this challenge I used Theresa Momber's "Peace and Joy" stamp set from Gina K Designs.

I used an Anna Griffin die to cut the large gold flourish behind the sentiment.

An Anna Griffin folder was used to emboss gold paper for the background of the sentiment.

The sentiment was stamped with versa mark then gold embossing powder was applied.

The gold striped vellum background paper is from Stampin Up.

Mod Squad's "Flip Flop Challenge"

The idea of a "Flip Flop Challenge" is to create a card using a stamp that was designed for one purpose and use it to create a project for another purpose.

I used Melanie Muenchinger's set "Gifts from the Sea" from Gina K Designs to create a front step Christmas Wreath card.

I cut the wreath with Stampin Up's Floral Frames dies.

I used all the seashells from the set to stamp the wreath and used the coral stamp and one of the shell stamps for the bow.

The seashell border is a Martha Stewart punch and the Embossing Folder is by Anna Griffin.

The sentiment is from a Creative Expressions Sue Wilson die that I cut from gold paper.
