Petite Petal Shadow Box

Hi there!  Missed you all yesterday but I'm back today with a simple technique that looks difficult.  It is called the shadow box technique and was one of the make n take projects the Hostess Club girls made at our monthly meeting.  Providing make n take projects for the Club members is just a small way to show my appreciation for their support!
Inspiration for the card came from Terri Gaines.  It was her 2014 Stampin' Up! Convention sample that was posted somewhere.  Unfortunately, I don't remember where it was posted and my search to find a blog for Terri proved unsuccessful.  But, I did find Dawn Olchefske's video here that explains how to achieve this origami fold!  

Need to scoot - lots to do before the weekend!  Thank you for coming by for a visit today!  Your visits are always welcome!

Under the Sea

Hi there and happy Friday!  My apologies for not posting yesterday - just ran out of time.  I'm back with one of the numerous swaps Sally Nusbaum shared with us when she returned from the Stampin' Up! Convention.  What you can't tell from the picture, is that the octopus travels around the circular channel.  Cool, huh?  Most of the stamped images are from Sea Street.  The sentiment is from the Yippee-Skippee set.  Lullaby Designer Series Paper was used for the semi-circle of gold fish (heat embossed with gold embossing powder) and for the "sand".  A very cute and creative card! 

Must pack up for our Card Buffet tomorrow before I pick up the granddaughter for the weekend later this afternoon!  Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in today!
