Roll of the Die #3

Hi all!

So glad y'all could join us for another Roll of the Die episode. We-- Kathy, Michelle, and I--are excited to bring you another episode and thank you for sharing an hour of your time with us (if you watched the video before).

If you watched episode 2, you'll see that the projects we had to create today had to include: fun-fold, paper piecing, congratulations, Stampin' Up! In-colors, and bling.

We each only have 20 minutes to present our projects so I started and discarded many ideas, cause I thought they'd consume way too much time. So, in the end, I chose a very simple "fold" if you like.

Here are the measurements for the card I created during the Live:

1. Orchid Oasis card base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"; scored at 4 1/4"
2. Cut a 1" strip from the card base on either side
3. Shaded Spruce Card stock: 3 1/8" x 5 3/8" and 1" x 5 3/8"
4. DSP: 3" x 5 1/4" and 7/8" x 5 1/4"
5. Basic White: cut to size to fit the sentiment and the image
6. DSP scrap to stamp the image on for paper piecing.

Take a look at the other two cards I made using this layout using retired Stampin' Up! products: I have to admit, this one was a little bit of a challenge for me...primarily because of the paper piecing and "congratulations" elements. 

Usually, when I think about paper piecing, I resort to people and clothing or inanimate objects like cards or boats...that sort of thing...no problem...then when I had to add "congratulations" to the mix, I just had a challenging time with my concept.  I did it though and here are the results:
