CARDtober Challenge 07: Use only 2 papers

For this challenge we could use only 2 patterned papers. I used Graphic 45 Floral Shoppe papers and did some fussy cutting from the papers to add a bit of variety.

I also used Queen & Co. Foundation dies. I don't remember who makes the stamp. It was part of a wreath stamp set that I found at Tuesday Morning.

CARDtober Challenge 8: It's a Small World

It's my turn to post the challenge for CARDtober again. This time, it's about using your small/tiny dies and/or stamps.

I made the little flip flops with tiny dies from Queen & Co.'s Summer Celebration add on set that goes with their Special Delivery truck set. I used another small die from one of their Foundation die sets for the banner. The papers are from Carta Bella's Soak Up the Sun line.

I live in Texas. It's still flip flop weather here.

 


CARDtober Challenge 6: Slider Card

I have intended to make a slider card for a long time. I just never got around to doing it. Since I already had some My Favorite Things stamped images colored and cut out, I used what I had on hand. The slider spacers are also from My Favorite Things, but I used Lawn Fawn dies for the slimline card and the slider opening. The patterned paper is from Graphic 45.



CARDtober 5 Challenge: Holiday w/Traditional Colors

 I went for easy on this one. I have plenty of Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cards made from previous CARDtober challenges, so I went for a 4th of July card.

I used BoBunny papers. Simple and fast. I'm already 2 days behind on my challenges, but life is crazy right now.

CARDtober Challenge 4: Sketch

The hostess for this challenge posted a simple sketch, which I followed, with very slight adaptation. The vertical banner was a plain rectangle in the sketch. The tag was a scalloped circle, but had wording inside that said "any shape." It was also placed a little lower than I placed my tag.

I used papers from the BoBunny Celebrating Freedom collection and a variety of Queen & Co. Foundation dies.

CARDtober Challenge Day 3: Cactus Green and Pink

I had a hard time finding papers that would work for this challenge. We were to make a card with Cactus Green and pink(s). I can't say this is my best work, nor is it my favorite card. I went for easy since we had family over today.

I used a cut apart card page from Simple Stories (Mistletoe Kisses) and turned it into a shaker with a Queen & Co. die from their North Pole kit. I added a little bling, and I was done.

Fall Slimline Card/CARDtober Challenge 2

This challenge was to use an ad for inspiration. A JoAnn Fabrics ad came into my email, showing a fall table runner with a plaid outside border. It made me think of a slimline card.

I had actually already made this card recently but not posted it. Since it fit the challenge, and I am not on a team claiming any points, I decided to post this instead of make a new, very similar card.

The papers that I used are all from an older Little Yellow Bicycle line named "Feels Like Home." I used Lawn Fawn slimline dies.
