Craft Warehouse DT Assignment 2 part 1

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything.  The last couple months have been busy and somewhat full of computer problems.  But, I'm able to edit photos again and hopefully will get back to posting regular posts.  So without further ado here are the first two pieces from my second assignment for the Craft Warehouse design team. 

For this assignment we needed to create a layout and a card / tag using the Apple Cheddar line from Jillibean Soup.  Though this is something that I probably would not normally buy, I love this line and enjoyed creating with it.  The biggest challenge...we were only given a 6x6 pad of the line so we had no 12 x 12 pieces to incorporate into the layout.  Here's what I came up with...

Sweet 2 The Core Layout -

To create the flower I cut two 1 1/2" x 6" strips and two 1" x 6" strips and punched the all on one side using the Martha Stewart doily lace punch found at Craft Warehouse.  Once all pieces are punched I scored at every peak and valley and folded at each score. I then attached the two 1 1/2" strips together and the two 1" strips together to create one long strip. Connect the two ends of each piece to create a circle. Then I attached the larger piece to a scrap piece of paper and adhered the smaller piece on top.

Here's my card -

For the card I stamped the image from Pebbles Inc, on several sheets of patterned paper from the collection and hand cut each one out.  I layered them so a bit of each were showing and placed the hand cut basket on top.  

Thanks for looking ~ Michelle ~
