Oooooo…. too many fun challenges going on right now!
Papertrey Ink is celebrating their 3rd Year Anniversary, as well as the February release and today the challenge was to create a card using origami! You can see my cute little creation using an origami pinwheel at the bottom of this post :)
How could I resist using this gorgeous and bold color combo from Embellish Magazine! In addition to the color challenge, we are to make a project using the Birthday Celebration Theme (piece of cake!). These colors are perfect for fun and happy… so needless to say this combo is permanently saved for future projects!
With this card, I used the 2 Sketches 4 You card sketch because, well… I just can’t resist a tall card! The inks used were Close To My Heart: Watermelon, Moonstruck, Clover and Chocolate. The lovely design stamp is from the one and only Papertrey Ink — Giga Guidelines – and the cute little checklist birthday phrases are from CTMH’s It’s Your Day (and yes, I did cut the list stamp so that I can have the phrases separate!). I also used the Bitty Dots Basics from PTI. I just love the way this card came out! It will be going to my MIL for her upcoming birthday :)
Below is my Origami card for the Papertrey Ink challenge. I had never done one of these on a card before, so it was an interesting little baby adventure for this scrapper :) Yay for challenges that give you great results! Thanks, Nichole!

Your cards are both very cute. I like the stamp you used on the first one and the cute clouds and pinwheel on the second.
