Cute But a Little Crazy - Snarky Guest DT

 I absolutely LOVE guest designing for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, so I was super excited when they crowned me Queen of Snark for the R is for Rainbows challenge and asked me to come back for another guest spot! This time the theme is:

A is for Animals

When I use my stencils, I always make a "reverse print" before cleaning it off.  I keep these in my stash for quick backgrounds and I used one of them for this card. I stamped the sentiment (Roadies 68 from Ink Road Stamps) on the background with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink and embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I grabbed a scrap of previous distressed watercolor paper that was a nice bright purple and die cut the tag (Gina K Designs Tag Trio), then used some texture paste through a stencil on the corners of it. I stamped the "Cute But Crazy" (Lookin Sharp from Ink Road Stamps) with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder. I stamped the cute little fox (same set, Lookin Sharp) on a scrap of cardstock, colored with Copics, and fussy cut. I attached him to the tag with foam tape.  I attached the tag to the card with a little silver brad and added a knife die cut (Hero Arts Kitchen Tools Fancy Dies).

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Polkadoodles - Paper Wallet

 

When I saw the challenge to create a paper wallet, I knew I wanted to use an origami style paper folding rather than trying to use adhesives or glue to put it together. I ended up using a tutorial that I found on You Tube at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrKPsbGZh6g and it worked perfectly!

I decided to create a wallet for a high school or college student, focusing on coffee! I started by printing out a piece of digi paper full size on a sheet of regular copy paper. I followed the instructions in the video and had a paper wallet within minutes! I then printed out the Latte cup 3 times, with a different type of beverage printed on the front of each one. I colored them and fussy cut. I printed out the sentiment and used a stitched edge nesting die to cut that out, attached to the front of the wallet along with one of the latte cups. I then die cut 2 gift-card sized pieces of kraft cardstock and added the extra latte cups to them, making them look like gift cards in the wallet. I added some cash to the inside and a few rhinestone stickers to the front to finish it off. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how cute it came out!
