Color Challenge Birthday Set

Posted by Jessica G.

July's KLSNS challenge on Papercraft Planet is to use the colors light blue, red, and chocolate on a card or project. One of the inspiration cards is the 'A Little Birdie Told Me' Edwin card I made a few weeks back (you can see it HERE), so you know I love this color combo! In fact, I decided to expand on the theme and make a few more items so that I would have a full birthday gift set to send to a very special friend with an upcoming birthday. Here's the complete set:

Stamps: Magnolia 'Tilda with Tag' and Strawberry Sweet sentiment. Carstock: Textured Real Red, Bashful Blue Pattern Prints, Chocolate Chip, Paper Bouquet Felted Flowers DP, Papertrey White. Ink: Memento Black, Copics. Accessories: Oval and Circle Nestabilities, SU scallop border punch, raffia, chocolate brads, Basic Grey rub-ons.

The Gatefold card is actually a folder with an added pocket on the inside to hold images from the latest Magnolia stamp releases:

Be sure to let Kelly know if you are interested in any of the latest Magnolia collection so she can place them on her pre-order list!

The little box is actually a Ghiradelli box (tutorial HERE). Even as much as I love chocolate, I didn't think mailing it in 90 degree weather was a great idea, so I substituted some hard caramel candies instead:

Hope you enjoy this color combo and much as I do! Be sure to upload your creations to the Papercraft Planet July challenge thread for your chance to win a stamp of your choice from the KLSNS store and other goodies, too!
