Card & Matching Envelope Challenge - Simon Says Stamp

       Thanks for stopping in! Today, I have a card for the Card and Matching Envelope Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

 

     I created this card by first drawing a butterfly pattern that would fit inside a 4.25" x 5.5" envelope. I added score lines every 1/4" to the front of the card and the envelope back flap. I LOVE my scoring board and rarely make a card without it even if the only thing I do is score the fold line. I think it makes my cards more professional looking.

     Next, I die cut two fancy flourishes and adhered them to the butterfly. I heat-embossed the sentiment tag and used foam tape to adhere it. A few purple gems completed my card.

    

     A new challenge goes up every Wednesday. Here's a link to the Simon Says Stamp blog where you can see the rules and other challenges. https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/

 

     Wishing you a fun day and inky fingers,

 

     Pamela

Anything Goes Challenge - ODBDSLC284

     Today, I have a card for the Anything Goes Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. I love working with their stamps and dies. It's such a nice way to share my faith.
     I used these ODBD stamps and dies
     
          Pennant Flag Verses, ICS62
          Double Stitched Rectangles, CBD123
          Double Stitched Pennant Flags, CBD135
          Fancy Foliage, CSBD33

     The beautiful watercolor paper is from Momenta (26643). The paper is so beautiful that I had it for a couple of weeks before I could bring myself to actually cut it.

Color Challenge ODBDSLC282

     Update:  Excited to learn that my card won it's challenge! Thanks so much to Our Daily Bread Designs.

     Thanks for stopping in. Today, I have a card for the monthly challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This month ODBD gave us a color scheme to work with.

     I decided this would be a great time to start on my Easter cards. I heat-embossed the eggs in a very light purple. Then, I die cut and adhered some with foam tape to give some dimension and interest. I also heat-embossed and die cut the basket. I attached foam tape in the middle of the basket and adhered the center of the handle and the bottom of the basket directly to the front panel with blue gel glue.

     There is still plenty of time to play along with us. Here's a link to the rules.
