Tee pee Time

I knew exactly what my entry would be for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous challenge, "folded."  A tee pee card; where you take three 6" x 6" pieces of paper, folded diagonally, attach them as shown below using your choice of adhesive.  It's a delicate task because you want the edges aligned perfectly and very important to have a sturdy paper, this way when the card is set on it's tee pee edges the paper can hold it's own weight.   These types of cards are so dramatic and fun to give as gifts because of their uniqueness.

side ONE

The fun part is the design, you have four sides to the card to design, see:

Side TWO--I melted the sequins with my heat gun, love it!

Side THREE lots of layers and colors

and the fourth side is the inside, where I added the sentiment:

note, I used velcro dots to hold the card together.

This card can be folded flat and mailed, see:

and here are some of the scrumptious details!

This key has been in my stash forever,I love the little cardinal.  

this bird and birdcage are delighful, I added stickles to the star.

This chipboard birdcage I painted, distressed and added the pearls.  The "love tag" I added the alpha stickers and attached to the birdcage with an old necklace.

(I have a thing for birdcages and birds)

The gold, silver and bronze "beads" are from a christmas floral arrangement.  I thought they looked terrific tucked in between the flowers.   

This card will be perfect for someone at the hospital where they can prop it up on the window sill or beside table. Note the butterfly stamp tucked under the flowers.  I love stamps, have collected them since I was a little girl and love to find little places to put them in my work.

Paper. Markers, Ink, Oh MY!


This takes a lot of patience(something I don't have a lot of) and even-handedness to color in a stamped image. Amazing!

Let's take a joy ride

I thought the Tim Holtz antique truck was so appropriate for this card(going to a friend who is opening a car shop).  I'm thinking I might remove two of the fussy cut street lamps and leave only one one on the card, what do you think? Keep it or take them off?

I'm entering this card into the Color Throwdown Challenge Blog, working with these colors. The pink in the card photographs more orange than pink.  bummer.  

Here's what was going on behind the scenes

Sookie our 4 year old kitten

I added the brad on the corner of the truck to follow the guidelines for this challenge blog, Butterfly Challenge Blog.  Where I followed the tic-tac-toe board with butterflies, flowers and wet(heat) embossing. The car and the fussy cut lamp posts are heat embossed.  The colors on this brad match perfectly with the color challenge, I couldn't believe it when I found this in my brad stash!  I have way too much stash.

It's a great picture of our kitten(4 years old) Sookie.
Why do they always want to be in the photos, unless you're trying to take a photo and they don't want anything to do with it.

note, this is her chair-see all the fur?

I love hot air balloons, they seem so magical! I would love to go to New Mexico's Hot Air Balloon festival and experience it first hand.  I'm adding this whimsical card to the challenges at these blogs:

The Friday Mashup-moveable parts or stripes.  (I should've made one of those balloons moveable. dangit)

The Color Throwdown-these colors below.  (my pink paper photographs more orange-y)
