HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNICORN CHALLENGE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

                                                  For  Unicorn 1st birthday  
                                               decided on an explosion card


I

There are 9 surfaces to decorate  and I did each with a birthday  pop up or sticker

Unfortunately with the print card stock I used it is not showing well

Please believe me it is pretty
This will have to be hand delivered or mailed in a box
I once mailed an explosion box out of the country and the customs tag said explosion box
Guess what customs opened it for inspection and then couldn't fold  it back   My friend received  it  in  a large government  package

                                    HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CAS Birthday

Anyone who follows  me knows  CAS is difficult for me

I have to tell myself over and over it  means simple

STOP

Well I did this time and didn't have to do over

First step was to put the card stock through an embossing  folder

The BIRTHDAY  sentiment is from MFP  stamp set  Large  Blooms

and I used my Mini Misti

NOTE.. the little protector jacket my daughter makes

I used distress inks and marshmallow sponges to color the folder

I have no idea what these are called and I still have packaging ?? 

But  I will add I love and use them a lot

I bought two sets  ,,,,,,not necessary   as you can use both ends

and still have enough for all your colors

They do a nice job once you learn to dab off and use a light touch

Orange

The challenge  this week on MFP is the color ORANGE

Since it is not my favorite color to work with I decided to use very little

I tried the spotlight on the top of the card a few times it seems to be a learning curve

or you can't teach an old dog new tricks

So I settled for the spot behind the opening

I used stamps from MFP Coneflower

Hope you will join us this week with a chance to win stamps

Double Diagonal

WELCOME

to my new followers   I just crossed the 100 line

Thank you all who follow papercreater

I am so  glad there is a tutorial  for you to follow

I  would never explain this correctly or simple enough for anyone to understand

I managed it on my first try

My second one didn't work at all

above you see with the fold to the back  Okay I told you I would explain well

If the fold that is at the back is brought to the front it makes the closed card you see below

I used stickers on the tags above and Stamp set Chrysanthemum for the front
