The Card Concept: Easter Blessings

It's spring, and Easter is right around the corner. The Card Concept Challenge has

a new inspiration for you, Easter Blessings.

I love artful arrangements assembled for the holidays, and I was drawn to how 

lovely the new photo for our challenge is. The sweet elements, all symbols of 

the Easter season inspired my Clean and Layered card.

I used The Greetery's Hippity Happily Stamp, Stencil and Die set to create my card.

The simple stylized bunny wreath is further decorated with the Greetery's new flower

and sequin shaker elements. 

Hope you'll have some time to play along. Don't you love that we've added color swatches

to help you with your card creation? Play along, and don't forget to include out photo 

inspiration on your blog post.

Have a wonderful week!

The Card Concept #172 {Easter Blessings} 

Delightful Digits

Greetings my card making friends!

Enjoying all the new goodies from the Greetery, and started with the Delightful

Digits Die. 

The release is a celebration of stamps and dies that play delightfully well each other

and I love how it works well with their previous sets too.

I had in mind a card for celebrating a 2nd year milestone. I'll bet you can guess who it's for!

The detailing on the hand is amazing! You get to add nail polish and jewelry!

Just had to add an a stamped envelope to match the card! Love that sheer sleeve!

Delightful Digits is, well, delightful! 

I'll post later with several other color combos I played with.

Be Mine, Valentine

 

The season of love is fast approaching, and the images of hearts and flowers are

everywhere. The Greetery's latest release: The Nature Lover Collection has the

sweetest stamps and dies, and I was fortunate to get my order in before they sold

out of the Complete Collection. Honestly, Betsy must have stamping elves getting

orders out, because my order came before it's delivery date! And I've been 

playing with it ever since!

I die cut 5 of the Heart Leaf Jumbo Posy Pocket Dies, (watched Betsy's video on

You Tube), and created Valentines. 

I stamped a bunch of the flowers from Lovely Blossoms in pink and red, and pretty

much put the 5 Valentines together assembly line style.

Did 5 envelopes to match the posy pockets. They're so easy to do while everything's 

out and handy!

I added the twine tie, like Betsy did in her video, and love that it looks like a gift

for the recipient. 

A perfect day here. Wet and rainy... perfect for staying indoors and crafting!

Card Concept 100th Post Celebration!

Hello! And welcome to my post today. 

The Card Concept is celebrating it's 100th post and challenge,

and we are bringing you double inspiration!

Each of us has invited a special guest to our celebration. 

My guest designer is someone you all probably know, Marcia Hill from

Marcia's Stampin' Pad.

Here's my card:

As you know, we at the Card Concept follow design styles, or combine them, or even 

create a style of our own.

I combined a few this week, calling my card 'layered elegant'.

A little touch of gold in the sentiment, adds a bit of elegance to any card,

and I was inspired by the gold on the pumpkins in the inspiration photo.

Can't wait to see how you are inspired and hope you'll play along this week!

Be sure to visit Marcia's blog and give her some love! 

Have a great week, and Happy Crafting!
