Tic Tac Toe Challenge #182

 Hi,  I'm back this morning with some fall cards for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #182 (TTTC182).  

All of my cards today use the right side- Fold Card, Sparkle, Fall Colors.  

I just love this fall patterned paper.  And a sheet of gold glitter cardstock works perfectly to add some sparkle to the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studios.  

For the next card I die cut a bunch of fall leaves in various fall colors and layered them under the edge of a popped up panel.  I added a strip of copper metallic cardstock and rose gold glitter cardstock.

This next one is similar to the first but I added some die cut leaves and switched around the sentiment with the glitter cardstock as the word instead of the offset.  Which do you like better?

Thanks for stopping by!

The Card Concept #182a

 Hello again!

I'm back this evening with a card for the Card Concept #182a.  There were two color palettes for this post but I have only gotten to the fall color scheme for now and I'll be back soon with the Christmas color palette.  

I loved the color palette for this and immediately thought of a stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps called "Better Together".  I was inspired by the plaid water bottle and the apples.  I had some plaid paper with blue, orange, red and brown which was perfect for a popped up card front using craft foam.  I thought it could use a little bit more blue so I used Spectrum Noir markers to add a few additional blue lines to the plaid.  

The little fox and chipmunk (?) are so cute!  There were perfect for this card challenge.

Global Design Project #365 Color Challenge

 Hello again,

I'm back today with a Christmas card (can it really be that late in the year?!) for the Global Design Project #365.  I have been making lots of fall cards lately for my Etsy shop but for this color scheme I decided to break out my Christmas stamps and dies.  I've seen some lovely poinsettia cards over the years and finally broke down and got some poinsettia dies this year.  I always hesitate to buy more Christmas supplies because they can only be used for such a small portion of the year, but since I plan to make all my own Christmas cards again this year (last year was the first time I accomplished that since I've had kids), I figured something new was justified.  ;). 

This is such a pretty color palette:

Normally I stick to more traditional red and dark green for my Christmas cards, but I could just imagine pretty poinsettias in those pinks.  Here is what I came up with:

I just love the dimension those poinsettias provide.  The color is a little off no matter how I tried.  Unfortunately my good camera gave up the ghost and my phone camera just isn't cutting it.   I guess I know what to ask for for Christmas.

The Poinsettia die is from Momenta (Hobby Lobby) I hadn't used that brand before.  The sentiment is from Paper Rose.

Color Throwdown Challenge #714

Hello again!  

I'm back today with a fall card for the Color Throwdown challenge #714.  

#ctd714

For this card, I used a tag die from Hero arts to create the tag.  I die cut it first in white #110 cardstock for thickness, then again in yellow-striped paper from Doodlebug.  I cut the yellow paper at an angle and can use the upper portion on another tag.  I chose a blue background paper also from Doodlebug and cut a small strip to go diagonally across the tag. Next, I stamped the word Hello 3 times across the tag.  I popped up the tag with foam tape and added a sunflower which was cut with my Silhouette Portrait.  I added Glossy Accents to the center of the Sunflower to make it more interesting and it turned out great!  Like a giant enamel dot.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I'll be back soon with more fall cards.  And you can check out my shop at etsy.com/shop/craftsbycamic
