Since it is cold and the roads are icy I stayed home and stamped. I made 2 cards and did another project that needs more work before I photograph it. OK, so I did more than stamp today, it didn't take me 8 hours to make 2 cards!
The first card uses a technique I taught at a scrapbook class last year (the card is on the top, the scrapbook page underneath it). I put the pleated "lace" border under photo mats and on a corner embellishment on the layout we did for the class, I just put it at the bottom of the Designer Paper on the card. I used the Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper along with Old Olive and Chocolate Chip cardstock. I used a length of the new 5/8 Sat in Ribbon to cover the seam of the pleats. The sentiment is from the Well Scripted stamp set. The second card is called a double slider card. It has a lot more impact when you see it opened in real life but when you pull on the ribbon at the top of the card a piece of cardstock comes up from the bottom and top. You can add a picture or write a personal message on these fun slide-0ut pieces. The card is a little tricky but fairly easy to make. This will definitely be showing up in a class soon. I used the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper again along with Taken With Teal, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive Cardstock, another length of the 5/8" Old Olive Satin Ribbon, brads, Ticket Corner Punch and the new Two Step Bird punch. The sentiments on the pull outs are both from the Well Scripted set.

I love the effects of the slider cards. They do have that "wow" suprise element. Great postings!
