sweet-box-and-card.jpg  Oh happy day!

Today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge was a fun one.   The challenge was to pick a former TLC, CC and SC and combine them into one project/card.   Here’s what I chose:

Technique Lover’s Challenge #103 ( 4 x 4’s or similar size cards in a set)

Sketch Challenge 83 - no set layout.. object was to use circles.

Color Challenge 52A (Gable Green, Ruby Red, Night of Navy, Only Orange!!)

I did have to make one substitution and use Green Galore instead of Gable Green as I have no Gable Green. 

I decided since I was making the little cards (they are 3.5 x 3.5) that I would make one of my boxes to hold them.  This box measures 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches square.  I’ll be happy to post measurements, but it is basically my same box that i usually make, with measurement adjustments, of course!

Here’s my deets:

Stamps:  Tart & Tangy and So Very (sweet) by Stampin’ Up!

Colors: Ruby Red, Night of Navy, Only Orange, Green Galore and Summer picnic DPs

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Only Orange, Green Galore

Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, scallop punch, circle punches, embossing folder, scissors, sticky tape

TFL!~  and have a blessed day!

I’m amazed at how much you can get on a 3.5 x 3.5 card! and the white brads on the box to match the ones on the card is a fabulous finishing touch. You are “da queen” of layers, embellishments and balanced cards, Holly. Look forward to seeing your creations every day :)
