Dear Ones~
This week it is my great good pleasure to be guest designing for the Make the Cards Challenge.
This is a fun challenge blog that changes every week, and there is always something new or different to create. Our challenge this week is a theme, which is ENCOURAGEMENT.
And here is my card:
The Ingredients:
Recollections Very Violet Card Stock
GKD White Card Stock
SU Frosted Florals DSP
PTI Sun and Moon Stamp
Sizzix Winter Garland Dies
SU Sending Thoughts Stamp for Greeting
SU Ornate Frames Die
Tim Holtz Kraft Metallic Card Stock
GKD Gold Embossing Powder
Trinity Stamps Gold Baubles
Here is another card with this theme:
I love the delicate pastels on this card, it's so sweet. Here I used a technique that I learned from Dawn Griffith of Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. You can see her video HERE. Little squares are cut and glued together for a cute pinwheel design. I also used the very popular Book Binding Fancy Fold that's all the rage right now. HERE is a link to a video by Karen Titus showing the how-to. The background is a pretty 3D embossing folder from Altenew called Enchanted Vines.
The Ingredients:
Recollections Rose Petals Card Stock
GKD White Card Stock
Altenew Enchanted Vines 3D Embossing Folder
Memory Box Springtime Bouquet Patterned Paper
Craft Consortium Bloom & Wild PP

I have the sun and moon stamp and love the way you have used it here. The colors are calming and beautiful. The sentiment is the best encouragement you can get. Love that you have pulled together so many sets from different companies to make this masterpiece. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBoth are just beautiful. The first one is absolutely amazing. You've inspired me to try the book binding fold and the pinwheel. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteOh my friend, both cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You are SO talented!! Thanks SO MUCH for guest designing for us ... you've shared such amazing inspiration! WOW!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Really? I have never seen either design before. I love seeing news techniques to try. The first card is filled with elegance. I love that sentiment. The second card reminds me of living in the county and all the friendly, charming people we would meet. Thank you for such inspiration!!! (PS Microsoft Edge and Norton Antivirus tried to block me from visiting saying I could get malware 🤷♀️ but I barreled on through 🤩)
ReplyDeleteYOWZA! These are gorgeous my friend, such beauties! Love both designs. The first one so rich and deep with color. I really love your layered florals and that lovely wreath. The second one so pretty in soft pastels. And that book binding technique is awesome, I really love the pinwheel too! Pass the Crackerjacks.....you knocked this out of the park!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs, Judy. The colors in the first one are so bright and vibrant and I love how you used the dies and flowers. Love the pastels and layout of the second card.
ReplyDeleteWozer, you did two! How can you make one that is bright and the other soft and pastel and I love them both. Both have so much texture and detail on them. I am really sold on that book binding technique. You rock this one for sure.
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness Judy what aaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing and beautiful cards you have made here. Love them both to bits. So much attention to detail and so creative.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Judy. The colors on the first one are so rich and elegant. And like you said, the second one is soft and sweet. I had to check out how to do the book fold. Rage? Maybe but I've never heard of it. Congrats on guest designing.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those cards are so very gorgeous! Congratulations on your guest design gig!
