Challenge "Are you ready to Rock"

                                         My first Wiper Card!!:)

The challenge this time is "Are you ready to rock"!  You can make any project as long as it is Rock related!!!

Hi My Friendly Bloggers!
This week I went to Erika's blog Crafty Sprouts and noticed that she has started to do challenge's and seen she had made a wiper card and thought it was so cool!
So I decided to try it and enter the challenge. The theme is perfect because my daughter had asked me to do a Rocker Girl on her birthday cake so I wanted to make a card to match her cake. She is turning 13 on Sept 8th so my card is a little early, she is so happy to say she is a teenager!Myself I'm not so happy about it!Attitude and Boys OH NO !!!


To make a wiper card
  you need Two 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" pieces of cardstock, for your base

One 1 1/2" x 3" piece of cardstock, for your "wiper"
Make a mark with a pencil at 1 1/2" on the long side. Score diagonally from the top right hand corner down to the pencil mark on the left.I put a stich line to show where to score.


Score your 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock at 1 1/2" and 3". Repeat on your second piece
Prefold all scored lines.The score line next to the large panel should fold down. Repeat for your second cardstock piece.

Take one of your card base pieces and lay it down with the score lines to the right. This will be your card front. Adhere your strip, image facing down, between the two score lines.
Add adhesive to the edges of both 4 1/4" sides of the cardstock piece.
Place your second 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock over your card front. Make sure the score lines are on the left.

Turn your card around
You have just created a wiper card ready to decorate.Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your wiper card!

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #20
"Inspiring Words"  Create a Project / Card inspired by one of the Words in the attached photo.
You must also include that word on your project
Please stretch your imagination!!!


 Hi My Friendly Bloggers!
It's time for another great challenge,the inspiring word I chose was HOPE.
I had first chosen Believe to make a Santa Clause card but I did not have the letters so I went with Hope and stayed with the Christmas theme.
For this card I used some chipboard cutouts that I bought at Walmart a few years ago.
 Some shabby ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique and a few snowflakes
Cardstock from Greeting card project pack from Walmart
I hope you enjoy my little creation for this week!! :)

Hi My Friendly Bloggers!
This weeks challenge was a little tricky,I have just received my PK stamps and I just had to use them.So I incorporated it into my project and made a gift bag.
For my three cuts I used "Winter Woodland" cartridge to make the background layers,I used three buttons,three snowflakes and three flowers.My three colors are blue,brown and white.
 


I didn't have a block big enough for my PK stamp so I improvised and use my Cuttle Bug plate.I love this stamp set it is nice and big!
And for my Blog Hop WINNER!!!
