The Paper Shelter #619 ~ Add a Number

    Hello crafting friends and welcome to this week's challenge


Team A - our challenge this week is 
~ Add a Number ~ 

I used The Number One Hot Dog digi set from The Paper Shelter to create my card.


I uploaded this cutie to Silhouette and used the print and cut feature to cut it out twice.  Remember I always print my digi images on photo paper to get a crisp vivid image.  Not that cardstock doesn't print well, I just prefer the vivid colours on my printer when printing on photo paper. 


I adhered the two layers together using foam squares.  By now you guys know that I always do this to give my cards a little dimension.  I normally use the 1 mm foam squares from Hunkydory or from Marianne Designs.  This adds dimension but very little bulk which is important for me as I mail a lot of my cards overseas. 


Since she is selling hot dogs, I thought I would add a few of my other favourite "fun" foods, burgers and fries! Don't know why people call them junk!  I think they're awesome!!!!😁  I especially love the fries (chips) you buy in Holland.  They come in cones with a large dollop of mayonnaise and a tiny fork, just as pictured above.

I used the following materials to create this card:
Card Frame - SL35 - Studio Light
Cactus Hillside Border - Lawn Fawn
Fries Die Set - Marianne Design
Hamburger Die Set - Marianne Design
Red Cardstock - Bazzill
White Cardstock - Colorbok
Pattern Paper - DCWV
Silhouette - Greeting and Sentiment
Stampin' Up Punches for mats of Sentiment
Twine - The Paper Studio


For the birthday greeting, I made it in Silhouette and then printed it on photo paper too.  I just didn't have a Happy Birthday die that would fit on this small card front.  Lastly I threaded a piece of white and silver twine through the side of the card. When closed and ready to mail, this card measures 6" x 4" and fits perfectly into an A7 envelope.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Before I leave, I would like to invite you to come play along with us.  Remember that The Paper Shelter has fabulous prizes up for grabs. Check out the details below ...


I do hope you will come join the fun and share your projects with us.
