Back to the Original Post: 

While I was on the Peace on Earth Christmas site, I saw a link to a new challenge site that I thought would be fun to check out.  It's called "Love Those Pretty Papers".  This site will be hosting an anything goes challenge beginning the first Saturday of each month and ending on the last day of that month.  The challenges will revolve around using up your papers and they will also include some optional themes to try out.  So let's get started.  

Here are My Cards: 

Optional Theme - Tri-angle Technique:  

I watched one of the suggested videos on making Tri-angle Cards and instantly fell in love with this simple card format.  Here are two samples of cards I made - because I just couldn't stop at one.  

Anything Goes - Ping Pong Pop Up Card: 

Here's another card I made for the anything goes portion of this challenge and the object was just to show off and use up some of my hoarded stash of designer paper.  I decided to stick with the Berry Delightful 6 x6 designer paper for this third card.  This card features paper with a strawberry pattern. I love the blend of reds, purples and blues in the design.    

This fancy fold card design is called a Ping Pong card.  What a fun and easy pop up design card.  I will provide details on how to assemble a "Ping Pong" card in a future post and share some of the other lovely cards I've made with this fun design.  

What a wonderful feeling to have actually created some beautiful cards using papers from my stash.  I love the colours and the Triangle card will now be one of my favourites as I like how the mashup of designs works.  

Thanks for stopping by and having a look see.  I'd really like to hear your comments on this paper, the cards or making fancy folds.  Does anyone else love creating interactive cards?  

Happy Stamping!
