Welcome to Digi Desserts Fridaze in connection with My
Paper Crafting ! We, on the Design Team, are to create a project using a
Digital File from the vast selection at MyPaperCrafting.com every Friday,
share them with You and encourage You to visit over there, get the FREE Digi
File for today, make a project with it and link it for all to see. The ‘winning’ designer is highlighted
next week as a Guest Designer!
It’s an easy and fun thing to do on the weekend!
For this week’s project I used the Free File offered last week on the TotallyTags and ATCs post on MyPaperCrafting. There are usually Vintage Digi Files
offered on Thursdays and I just LOVE using them on my projects and giving them
‘An Elegant Touch…’! There are
usually several ‘color options’ in each file, allowing for a vast amount of
creativity along that line and sometimes I also put them in my FREE “Perfect
Effects Free” program which offers even more color shading availability. This time I used one that Melin offered
last week. - 'Wreath 523 VG.' I made a card which can
be used for any occasion and can also be ‘free standing’ for display, if
desired, and is in keeping with this week’s theme of ‘Pearls.’

* I began with
a base of 4 ¼ ” x 11” Cream cardstock. I scored and folded at 2” and 3 3/8” from each edge. Valley/mountain fold to make the center
section ‘pop’ to the front when opened.
(It could also be made to recede inward, if desired.) It fits into an A2 envelope.
* I punched 2
border edges from Cream cardstock and lightly inked with Wheat ink. I adhered them to the outer
sections. I added a piece of brown
ribbon to the bottom edge.
* I cut a piece
of 4” Cream cardstock – embossed it with my ‘Wicker’ embossing folder - then lightly inked with Wheat – and
adhered it to the front section.
* I put the
Digi into my ‘Perfect Effects Free’ program and I used the Actions – Sepia
Toner and Warm Concrete Subtle – to get the color I desired for this
project. I then put it into my PSE
10 program and printed it 8 to a page.
I plan to make several different types of cards with all of them.
* For this one,
I fussy-cut the wreath out. I
adhered the wreath with foam pads to raise it off the base.

* I was excited
to learn last week that I had WON the Giveaway from a Blog Hop I ‘attended’ a
couple weeks ago!! The Prize was a Spellbinders ‘Shapabilities’ Die package with 7 pieces!! I used one of them for this – a
flourish. I cut one in dark brown
dotted paper and then one in Kraft cardstock and intertwined them. (I have learned that by using a piece of Wax Paper between the Die and your paper/cardstock, it is much easier to remove the completed element!!) I punched some little MS branches and added them. I was excited to find
some tiny resin roses on Clearance at Michaels this week and used a Cream one
for this. I saw recently how to
make TINY flower buds by punching tiny ¼” punch circles of
paper/cardstock and using a tiny embossing head and foam mat to make tiny
ruffled buds. I added tiny pearls
to them.
* I was also excited to see that MS punches were on Sale this week at Michaels and I got the ‘tiny butterflies’ and ‘tiny hearts’ punches – which I know I’ll use often! I used the tiny butterflies
– cut from Cream cardstock and inked with Wheat - on this card and added tiny
pearls to each of them for the bodies.
Here is the Digi file I used -
