The Card Concept: Holiday Gatherings

 

Welcome back to The Card Concept Challenge. 

I hope your holiday was everything wonderful!

The Card Concept is a challenge to create a card using a style. We have several suggestions

for you on our blog, or you can pick one of your own, or even combine 2 or more

styles. I'm excited to be back with this fabulous photo inspiration.

I was immediately drawn to the gold in the photo,  and used plenty of it

on my card. Also the color swatches, the stars, and the goblets. Pretty. much

everything in the photo!

Dies used from The Greetery, and MFT. Background sprays from Lindy's

Stamp Gang.

The Ribbon Maker die from the Greetery was backed with Gold Foil card stock, 

and the goblets were cut from gold as well. 

My card is Elegant Glam, a style I made up! Perfectly acceptable, as I said 

before!

Our challenges are for 2 weeks, and we love seeing your creations!

Happy New Year!

The Card Concept #186 {Holiday Gatherings} 

A  quick reminder that it's Floral Fantasy as your challenge this month on the

Poppystamps blog. Come play along! 

I feature one of the gorgeous new Washi tapes available now in the store. Wide enough 

for the front of an A2 card!

Christmas Tags

During PTI's last month's release, I purchased Betsy's Poinsettia & Pine tag making kit

and decided to make a bunch for a dear friend celebrating a birthday. 

What started out as half a dozen, seemed to grow as I played with colored cardstock 

and stash of Christmas sets.

I hadn't seen for awhile.

When done, I piled them inside the sweet little sleigh, complete with mini

wreath on it's front, boxed, wrapped and my gift was ready to give.

Hope my post gives you lots of inspiration. The sweet mini kit

 comes with decorator paper and dies for easy creating. I just enjoy

stamping, so these are all stamped with PTI holiday stamps.

Here's a look at the tags

I can't wait to do more. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon... crafting!

The Card Concept: Sweet Inspiration

Welcome back to the Card Concept Challenge,

where you create a project using your choice of styles.

We had a nice long holiday, and are glad to be creating again!

This fabulously sweet photo is our inspiration.

Pink & Grey, Cupcakes & Roses, Pearls & Ribbon ~

Didn't stray far from my first impression to create my Classy Elegant card.

Cupcake, cake plate, frame and ribbon banner: PTI's Baker's Dozen

Floral cut and embossed cover plate: Spellbinders (It's an old one, not sure if it's still

available).

Hope you're inspired to play along. Our challenges run for 2 weeks and we love to

honor our winners with Card Concept Badges.

Happy Creating!
