You Rock

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. As challenge hostess for the month, I continue to issue the challenges.

Today is Vinyl Record Day! For many Vinyl Records are a thing of the past, but in recent years they have started to make a big comeback with even new albums being released. For our challenge this week it's all about music … bonus points if you included an image of a vinyl record on your card. 

It's been a month or so since I have played with my Missees paper doll dies, so I decided to pull them out to create the girl for my card inspired by the girls from the 50's & 60's.

As you can see, I created a Slimline card using slimline dies from Picket Fence Studios to create the layers.

To create my vinyl record background, I used dies from SugarPea Designs Greatest Hits Stamp/Die sets. I added a smaller record to the girls hand which was also created using this die set.

I added a sentiment to the card using a Honey Bee Stamps stamp set. This was stamped onto a speech bubble using one of the dies from Whimsy Stamps Comic Speech Bubbles die set.

I created a double pop-up for the inside of my card using the pop-up mechanism from Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop-up die set. As vinyl records are round I added circle dies to each of the labels.

On the top circle I added a sentiment from one of the Honey Bee Stamps stamp set along with the birthday sentiment from the SugarPea Designs stamps set.

On the bottom circle pop-up I added a record being held by a hand, cutting of the arm so it can't be seen when the card is closed.

I used the record die from the SugarPea Designs die set to add the border along each side of the card.
