myasperations 6-10-24

      The current challenge at The Paper Shelter is a yummy one- CHOCOLATE! This is my second entry, the chocolate is a yummy cupcake. I added balloons and some bling so I can enter the card into the current Inspiration Station Challenge (see photo inspiration). The sentiment on the inside is upcycled from an old card.  I attempted to add texture to the straw hat using the same technique I use to make sweaters, scarves, hats, etc. look knitted. Hmmmm. I ended up with a knitted straw colored hat! Oh well, it does look comfy, right?
      I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (My card features many items that are part of the fun on theme parks, including yummy treats and balloons. But the sentiment “Make a Wish” also reflects the fact that visiting a theme park like Disney, Universal Studios, etc.  is a frequent wish for most children/teens… and also many of us adults!), and Colorful Options Monthly Challenge (My card features a pastel rainbow on the front, and brightly colored sentiment rainbow on the inside.)
Supplies: 

·   Digi- from The Paper Shelter (Cupcake Birthday)

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

·   Front Sentiments- “Make a Wish” Freebie from Papercraftsmagazine.com (no longer available) 

·   Inside sentiment is upcycled from an old card 

·   Stickles- Diamonds and Stardust versions (to add some bling.)

·   Patterned paper and other items from my stash.

The hardest part of making this card this fun origami Father’s Day Card was picking out the
paper to use. I found instructions on Pinterest that helped me work through the folds of
it's construction. (The template I used appears to have been removed, however, just search for
"Origami Shirt and Tie" and you'll find many tutorials and templates to chose from.)

  2. Fabulous cards Kathy, love the colouring on your first two. I think the pattern you added to the hat looks awesome, and I love the soft shades you chose for the little bear. The shirt fold card is a great idea for Father's Day and masculine cards... the striped paper was the perfect choice!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
