DD #16 - Friends are like Pockets   Remember my 'Totally Tags' demo in July?  This is the very last example that I have to share with you in that series.  It was made using the latest challenge colours for Dynamic Duos. The Black Tie Challenge this week is to use River Rock and Basic Black in your project with Brads as a Dessert Option . My card was made from a sheet of paper from the Denim Bloc pack by Joy Crafts . The 'black denim jeans' were perfect for the option of adding brads (3 different SU ones used in this project). The River Rock tags were made from textured card stock using the three sizes of tags from the Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders and stamped with the sentiment from Pocket Fun (SU-retired). I used a craft knife to cut along the edges of the 'pockets' and placed a foam dot (dimensional) on the inside of both sides of the pocket, just below the opening to allow for easy access for the tags.     ...

Dynamic Duos #12 - Japanese Doll Tag It's Black Tie Week and Poppy Parade is the colour that Lesley has chosen to team up with Black for our 12th challenge at Dynamic Duos this week.  The Dessert Option is to use Punches. This is another project that I shared at my recent 'Totally Tags' demonstration.  The tag template is from Silhouette (Luggage Tag) and embossed with a CB embossing folder. The colours just led me down the 'Oriental' path so I made a little Japanese Doll from punches.  I have made lots of these for swaps in the past and seeing the dessert option for Dynamic Duos is to use punches this week, I thought I would re-visit this cute little design.

DD #7 - Happy 'Bird'-day Wow!  How's this for a bright and bold 'Black Tie' event for the 7th challenge at Dynamic Duos ? I love Melon Mambo and it looks stunning teamed with black.  The 'dessert option' this week is to add RIBBON . I love this style of card which I discovered through Pinterest.  You can see the previous one I made, HERE. For today's card I used a Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch for the side panels, adhered 1" Melon Mambo circles behind every 'doily' and added a rhinestone to each centre.  The silhouette image is a die cut purchase from a local craft store. I'm really excited about this colour duo and look forward to seeing many creations in the gallery this week.

It's a Black Tie theme for week three at Dynamic Duos .   This week, Daffodil Delight is teamed up with Black to complete the Duo and Dry Embossing is the Dessert Option . I decided to play around with a different style of easel card and this is what I came up with - DD #3 This Week's Duo - Here's a little tutorial I put together.  The pictures should be self explanatory.  All products are from Stampin' Up! 1. This is the front of the card made from a piece of A5 card stock. 2. Glue down the side panels and score through the centre of the middle panel to form the easel part of the card. 3. 4. 5. It sits down flat for easy postage. My inspiration for this style of easel card came from a magazine.  I must admit that I didn't read most of the instructions, but mainly looked at the picture:)  From memory, I think the featured card is much larger than the one that I made.
