     I created this card to enter into the current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge which requires an interactive card. This interactive "flip card" features two (front and back) digi/sentiment images from Eureka Stamps.  I served as a DT for the QKR/Eureka Challenge for several years and was saddened when they closed their online shop last fall. They will re-open if they find a buyer for their stamp lines. I hope that happens, as they offered so many great wood and rubber stamps and digital images.) 

     The light blue star-patterned paper is from a USA Patriotic digi set that Polkadoodles released a few years ago as a freebie. It includes lots of goodies, but I use this paper the most, for many reasons and seasons. I checked and it is still available for just $1.30 in US currency. The link is in my supplies list, plus I posted a WM pic of the set below.)

   I’m entering this card into several challenges including Allsorts Challenge (but instead of making a Spring card, I’m using the optional AG!), Polkadoodles Challenge (mainly because my card features their wonderful paper!), Papercraft Challenges: Fairies and Other Mystical Beings (I think a Wizard falls into that category?)

·   Inside Sticker Happy Birthday and sparkly stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Starry paper-Digital download bundle from Polkadoodles (USA 4th July Celebration)

We Love Stamping-Spring (optional AG)    

    I was happy to discover a few new coffee themed challenges this year. I made this card to fit into two of them: Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge (Coffee and/or hot chocolate  theme) and Christmas Craft Creations challenge (non-traditional colors theme.) A few digi sets from Beccy’s Place provided the yummy mug and sentiments. And, the pretty blue and white Christmas plates on the patterned paper I used for the card remind me of my grandmother's Spode China set that was part of our  holiday feast at my Grandparents farm in Nebraska during my childhood.

   I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (the swirly-twirly shape of the mug holding the yummy beverage makes me think of something you’d see in Dr Seuss Book, so I googled and found a Seuss-inspired park in sunny Florida! Seuss Landing at Universal Studio Orlando!!)

Supplies: 

·   Front Digi from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cheers)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment  “Sending Love this Christmas” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Gingerbread Season)

·   Inside Sentiment “Sweet Holiday Wishes” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cheers)

·   All other items from my stash.
