Movie Night with Harry Potter

I haven't played with the new Movie Night Charms very much, so I thought I would make a card using them today.  One of my favorite dies is the Fancy Label Accordion, which was one of the very first Karen Burniston dies I purchased many years ago.

As you may or may not know, I am a big Harry Potter Fan.  I had some of the journaling cards left from a recent Karen Burniston on-line class.  I cut it down to fit the first panel of my card.


I thought the panels of the Fancy Label Accordion were just a bit too large to use the charms as is, so I cut off the charm rings and layered them on the panels.


The filmstrip in the set was perfect for showing off my Harry Potter characters.  These are digital images I downloaded many years ago from Bugaboo Stamps.  I sized them to fit perfectly in the individual sections of the filmstrip.  The sentiment is from Karen's Birthday Magic stamp set.


And here is the whole card.  Movie Night Fun!


I'm giving this card to my daughter-in-law for her birthday later this month.  She is also a big fan of Harry Potter.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge -- Rainbow

It's time for the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for July.  This month our theme is "Rainbow," the perfect reason to pull out the new Arch Pop-up die and Rainbow Add-ons.  

The front of my card is rather simple -- just a happy birthday greeting.  However, keeping with the theme I did use rainbow paper.  I also added some enamel dots in rainbow colors.

For the inside I popped up the Rainbow Arch, adding a pot of gold using the cauldron from the Witch and Cauldron set.  The sentiment is from the new Rainbow greetings stamp set.


Here's a close-up of the pot of gold.  As you can see, I scored across the cauldron and glued the top portion to the rainbow and the bottom portion to the card base.


Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
