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

More fall cards

 Hi there,

Today I am back with some fall cards to share.  First though, I have changed the name of my blog to Crafts by Cami C and have recently opened an Etsy shop with the same name.   

Here are a few of my fall creations. 

The sunflower is a free cut file (SVG), the grain is from a Silhouette design store fall wreath and the leaves are dies.  "Thanks" sentiment is hand-letter Thanks from W Plus 9.

    This card features gold nuvo drops, leaf dies, Hello die from Pinkfresh Studios, all popped up on foam tape.  The patterned paper is popped up on a sheet of craft foam for uniform height.

This card features the same leaf dies and "Hello, fall" sentiment from MFT stamps Autumn Blessings.  I scored the cream colored front of the card (put on a separate card base so the inside of the card wouldn't be scored). The circles are popped up with foam tape for dimension.  It's hard to see but the sentiment is embossed in gold.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be back soon with more fall cards.

 

Happy Fall! MFT Stamps slimline challenge

 Hello again!

Can it really be fall already?!  This year is flying by.  Today I have a mini-slimline card for a challenge by My Favorite Things.  The slimline challenge is to create a fall card.  I just received these darling pumpkin stamps and dies in the past few weeks and have been having a blast with them.  

Autumn blessings stamps/dies from MFT Stamps, embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

I love the slimline and mini-slimline shape for mixing things up a bit.  Makes you think a little bit differently about how to fill the space as well.

More fun with Papertrey Ink's Growth stamp set

 Hello again,

I'm back today with some more cards featuring Papertrey Ink's Growth stamp and die set, Honey Bee Stamps Thanks a bunch stamps and Papertrey Classic Words die set for the sentiments.  

I have started to sell some of my cards at a local gift shop and have another one in mind that is part of a garden nursery, so these cards are just some ideas I have and then I'll choose my favorites to take there.

Which one is your favorite?  I think mine is the 2nd one, but it's hard to say.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Leave a comment and come back soon!

 

Seize the Birthday! card challenge #245

 Hi again!

I'm back today with a few birthday cards for the Seize the Birthday card challenge.

 

The first card uses Papertrey ink "Growth" stamp set and dies for the plants and the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.  I loved this color combo and figured it would work for masculine cards as well, which I always struggle with.  

The next card is super simple but fun, and also a great masculine card.  I used the sentiments from Honey Bee Stamps again and some enamel dots and popped everything up on foam tape for added dimension.

The last one is a fun and colorful balloon-themed card.  

Which one is your favorite?  

Thanks for stopping by!

MFT Color Challenge 194

 Hi there,

I'm back today with a fun color challenge from MFT.  

 I loved these colors and had an idea for fun florals and a shaker card.  

The stamps are spring peonies from Honey Bee stamps.  The jar is a shaker die from Alinacutle.

It's Wednesday Blitzday! MFT Challenge Sketch 601

 

Hi there, 

I'm back today with a sketch challenge from My Favorite Things.

I decided to make a birthday card and turned the sketch sideways.  I cut the letters with my Silhouette Portrait and used various masculine-looking patterned papers from over the years.

Thanks for stopping by!

Time Out Challenges - Be Kind

Hi there! 

Hope your summer is going well so far.  We had a lovely trip to visit family and friends but it's good to be home and to get back to cardmaking.  Today I am participating in the Time Out Challenge- Be Kind

I remembered a stamp set from Stampin' Up! with a phrase about kindness in it, so I built the card around that.  The other stamps are Honey Bee Spring Peony set.  I had some lovely metallic pink paper from Amazon that I used for the background.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Throwdown ctd698

Hi there,

Today I'm participating in the darling Color Throwdown ctd698 challenge.  I just love strawberries and had fun with this inspiration.

Here's my take on it:

The flower dies are from Spellbinders and the Strawberries are from Amazon, I think.  I've had them a few years.  

Here's the inspiration photo:
