My card today is inspired by the July Anything Goes Halloween mood board with the Two Old Bats. Always one to play along with the theme of a challenge but not go overboard on non-traditional Halloween colors this card idea popped into my head! (Less is More) Using one section of Taylored Expressions Create In Quad Halloween stencil and caldron die, I popped it up on my TE Bokeh Layering Stencil panel which was inked in red, white & blue. I added a few MFT die-namics clouds and a few white stars. Sentiment is from a Hampton Arts Outline’s stamp set.
Today’s card, for our daughter & s-i-l, is a CASE of Lisa K’s Apple Fun Fold card. Card stock is from Gina K, patterned papers were found online, die cuts are stitched squares & stitched circles from Die-namics. For the sentiment I Googled Anniversary script clip art. At first I thought it might be a little weird having the circle on the square but I like it. And so did hubby.
This will be entered in two challenges. JUGS using pastels and Cards 4 Gals more than one fold.
I spent time coloring and creating a fun fold using the Apple Harvest Stamp set. I saw this idea on Pinterest and found it interesting, so I went to the website. Stamping Amore is the person who created the original card I used for inspiration. I used the same stamp and die set, but colored mine differently and used paper that I had.
This card is the standing position so you can see how the pieces are laid out. The front square is attached with black foam squares in the center, where it will not close the panel.
This shows the card laying and all open.
The final photo shows the card closed. It has two basic folds at 4 1/4 and 1 1/4. Then there are several layers of patterned paper making it look like it has several folds.
I used a red card base that was cut and laying close by. The white is Stampin Up Basic White. The checked pattern is from a summer pack by Echo Park. The black plaid/stripe is from another set by Carta Bella.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another experiment for me. While going through some You Tube videos for lattice cards I came across a Faux Lattice video by Rita Holmes. Sorry, I didn’t save the page and now I can’t find it again.
The double-sided pp used is from a (not so recent) 6×6 Stampin Up book. Stamped die cut image is Gina K’s Tropical Blooms. My not so good coloring was done with Copic and Stampin Up’s Stamp and Blend markers. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Not really knowing what to do for a little interest on the top panel I tried using a small circle punch to punch out the center of the flowers on the scrap piece of the floral side of the pp. I think they look ok. I like the idea of the pp on the top inside flap.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
More is Best! That’s the motto of our granddaughter when she makes her cards. So when the challenge of using more than one fold came up with Cardz 4 Galz I felt like this was made for the upcoming eleven year old .
My card is a double gate fold card…two folds folded back on themselves so does that count as four folds? Scored my card, found some cute patterned paper from my stash and then searched for this tropical flamingo image from Great Impressions.
Here’s where the more comes into play with a second Great Impressions tropical foilage circle was included on the right side gate fold.
And yes there is even the most for this sweetie. The inside was stamped using Hula Cat from The Cat’s Pajamas and Aloha Diva from Gina K Designs. The 11th die cut was made using Concord & 9th’s double cut dies. Some bling on all portions completes my card today that will be shared with:
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my favorite son-in-law. Our daughter and her hubby have birthday’s one day apart.
Card is a shaped card file from the Silhouette. Once all the pieces were cut, I just had to put them together. It was quite easy. Card stock is Crum Cake from Stampin Up, pp is The Paper Studio, twine from my stash, sentiment is from Gina K’s Birthday Blessings. My next card will be for their anniversary, a week before the birthdays.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time to visit. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I have been guest designing for the color challenges each Tuesday in June, at Splitcoast Stampers. I have enjoyed creating each card using specific colors.
CC951 used the colors Berry Burst, Shaded Spruce, and Lemon Lolly with the dessert of flowers. I used Berry Burst for the brick wall and the center flower. Shaded spruce was used on each flower stem. I do not own Lemon Lolly, so I substituted Gina K Designs Lemon Drop. I added neutrals of Misty Moonlight for the sky and Crumb Cake for the top of my fence and a background layer. The flowers are from the Art Gallery set.
CC952 had colors of Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. The dessert was using a die cut or punch. My cupcake is a triplets die designed by Stephanie Bernard for Sizzix, very retired. I found the greeting in a Gina K Designs set along with the stars. The small greeting is from a SU set. This was fun to create.
CC953 used the colors Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, and Sweet Sorbet with the dessert of added a favorite green. I used a mixture of Lawn Fawn Jalapeño and Freshly Cut Grass for my leaves. I used the stamp set Fresh Cut Flowers with coordinating dies for my flower. The hello is from a My Favorite Things set. I ran the Azure Afternoon rectangle layers through the Subtle embossing folder as they needed a bit of texture. I am quite happy with this card.
CC954 uses the colors Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, and white with a dessert of patriotic. My flag card uses Stamp Simply Grand Old Flag set. I added stars to the background with Lawn Fawn star dies. I embossed the background first with the SU stars folder. I have made this kind of card several times over the last few years and all went to a nursing home.
My door card has a wreath made the the challenge colors. I saw this wreath on Pinterest and added my own spin with the door. This door is from Holiday Frame and Holiday Frame fillers illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.
I enjoyed creating for this months color challenges. All are available to participate in as the challenges never close. Thanks for reading all about my month of guest designing and what I created.
I’ve been working on cards for an upcoming bridal shower. Using Michael’s Shimmery white cardstock and a Sizzix embossing folder for my background panel, then die cut Memory Box’s Enchanted Heart twice for my focal image. I added teeny, tiny, little pieces of foam strips between the two die cut hearts for some dimension, added a tiny flower “layered sticker” to the center and adhered to my card. I wasn’t sure of a sentiment but decided on this red rubber stamp from a Gina K Designs stamp set.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. It’s been quite a weather pattern lately with lots of rain/sun/rain/thunderstorms and repeat tomorrow and maybe Wednesday, too. Take care, be safe and stay cool.
