Who would have thought to turn the Mosaic punch into a flower? Connie Babbert, that is who. I found this card when I was browsing for Occasion cards and loved it. The background paper helped determine the colors of the flower and I love this combination. I changed Connie's card a little but kept most of it the way she designed it.
My changes:
The Very Vanilla card stock has been embossed with the Wood grain embossing folder
The saying is from the Banner Greetings hostess set
The flower petals have not been paper pierced
Connie's color choices
Crisp Cantaloupe
Calypso Coral
Pistachio Pudding
Soho Subway designer paper
What color combinations would you choose to make a similar card/
Sometimes if you have a great saying, you do not need any more on your card. I felt this way when I found the Congratulations saying in the Layered Labels stamp set. And best of all I was able to cut out the saying using the Apothecary Accents Framelits and the new Magnetic Platform. There is something striking about a card that uses only one color and this one meets that criteria.
Island Indigo card stock, and ink
Quatrefancy designer paper
Send this simple card to any special male or female in your life.
Why did I choose this card, designed by Bekka, for my Congratulation card class? I liked the simplicity, the use of the Occasions Alphabet set, and the focus on one color. What supplies did I use?
1. New color Crushed Curry
2. Occasions ABC, plus the chevron stamp from the June Paper Pumpkin
3. New Pansy Punch
4. Crumb Cake seam binding, Crochet trim, and Linen thread
What colors would you use to duplicate this card?
I LOVE this simple design that show off all the new in-colors. When I looked to see who the designer was I was not surprised to find out it was Mary Fish. All her cards have a clean and simple look to them. I chose this card for the Fill Your Card Box class because it could be used for a male or female. Which is your favorite new in-color?
Colors starting top left to bottom right
Strawberry Slush- I could use one in this 90 degree weather
Baked Brown Sugar- makes me drool just thinking out it
Crisp Cantaloupe- My favorite melon
Pistachio Pudding-Hmm I have some in the closet, will have to make it up
Coastal Cabana- on the beach ready to swim, sounds great for today
Did you love the old colors that retired, well, I have goodie bags with all the retired colors for sale at my 50% odd garage sale this weekend. Come check it out.
After having company for the past 3 weeks, I am holding all my monthly classes in the same week. Busy me!! I had such fun looking on the Internet for samples for Congratulations cards. I think I enjoy looking for samples I like in the same way I loved doing the research in school of a topic. Of course, I had to look cards that featured Washi tape, one of my favorite embellishments. I found a card very similar to this one designed by Melissa Davies. I loved the brightness of the card and couldn't resist copying Melissa's design, then adding a touch or two of my own. What are the new supplies I used to make this cheerful card?
1. Artisan label punch and matching stamp set called Label Love
2. Gingham Garden Washi tape
3. A Fitting Occasion stamp set
4. Boho Blossoms punch
5. Strawberry Blush, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White card stock
Who would you send this card to and for what special occasion?
