This week's "Belli Challenge" on www.chrissyd723.blogspot.com is scraps - what do you do with all of your left overs? I learned this technique on the Stampin' Up cruise that I just got back from and this gave me a good excuse to try it. First you lay all of your little scraps of card-stock on the sticky side of sticker paper the you can just get at a office supply store. Then you sprinkle embossing powder over the top and shake off the excess. The embossing powder will stick to the sticky part of the sticker paper. I found that the metallic embossing powder worked a lot better than the non-metallic. Then you heat it with your embossing tool. I used Not Quite Navy Card-stock and Ink, Blue Bayou Card-stock, Soft Sky Card-stock, Silver Embossing Powder and Brads, Phrases for a Fried Stamp Set (From the Occasions Mini Catalog) and White Taffeta Ribbon. To see more great ideas for using scraps, go to Chris's web-site.

Chris's Wednesday "Belli Challenge" - Scraps
Since I had scraps from doing my Dahlia Fold Bag, I used the extra to make this card. I used the 1-3/8 circle punch, Tempting Turquoise Ink, Card-stock & Grosgrain Ribbon, It's Beautiful jumbo Wheel, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Bali Breeze Designer Paper, Whisper White Card-stock, River rock Card-stock, and Ice Rhinestone Brads. The tutorial of how to do the Dahlia Fold is on www.splitcoaststampers.com
Dahlia Fold Bag
This gift bag is made using the Dahlia Fold Technique. I wanted to try making it and decided for my first try to use larger circles to fold. It was really easy to do. The tutorial on how to fold this is on www.splitcoaststampers.com . I used Tempting Turquoise Card-stock, Ink & Grosgrain Ribbon, a White Gift Bag, Clear Button, Bali Breeze Designer Paper, a Corner Rounder, and the It's Beautiful Jumbo Wheel.
