Challenge Crafting

I’ve had another chance to get crafty with some card making challenges this weekend.

First up is a Christmas card for:

I kept this card pretty CASE. I die cut a snowflake from my white card panel and popped it up over some hot pink card stock which shone threw the snowflake. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.

Next is another Christmas card for:

I used one of Tim Holzt ‘Crazy Dogs’ which I loosely watercoloured and then fussy cut out. I also stamped the Santa hat from the ‘Crazy Things’ stamp set. I popped my dog up on some old flocked specialty paper and added a snarky sentiment.

My third card is a birthday card for:

I love this colour combo as it includes my favourite colour – green! I stamped a few of the different brush strokes from the PTI ‘Watercolor Wonder’ stamp set in Stampin Up Lemon Lime Twist and Magenta Madness. I then added a die cut sentiment and some coloured enamel dots.

My last card is a sympathy card for:

I made a cascading fancy fold card using Stampun Up Symbols of Fortune DSP and Crane of Fortune dies. The sentiments are from Stampin Up ‘Sending Support’. I don’t have the Color my Heart colours but think the SU Smokey Slate matches the Mink, Evening Evergreen matches the Journey and the Pink Pirouette ribbon matches the Ballerina.

Thanks it for today. Thanks for stopping by for a look. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

  4. Your card is beautiful. I love the fun fold design. The colors you mention work for our color challenge but there are extra colors not part of our challenge that disqualify your entry. PLEASE keep sharing your talent and artwork with us. We can’t wait to see more! Thanks for sharing at Color Dare.

  5. Wow! Great collection of cards! Your cascading waterfall card is such a brilliant design! I’ve never thought to adhere the cascading section to a card base when I’ve made them in the past! And having it be a gatefold card makes it even more fun! Thanks for sharing this lovely, encouraging card over at Creative Creases!
