Hi all,
Today’s bonus was pretty awesome! I loved taking a peek into other blogs to see what others are working on. For today’s card I decided to revisit the concept of “blank space” and create a card that had a large visual impact without too many elements.
Here it is! Enjoy!
Hi all,
I’m now on day 4 of Online card classes and today’s card is one of my all time favs! Today’s challenge was to create a card that dominates in negative space, but still makes a statement. I absolutely loved Kristina Werner‘s take on the challenge – this girl gives me so much inspiration. Anyhow, I used her concept to create today’s card.
Here it is!
Supplies:
Card Base: Textured Black American Crafts cardstock
Stamps: Inkadinkado Cafe Wood Stamp Set
Ink: Versamark clear
Embossing Powder: Linen White by Inkadinkado
Embossing folder: Distressed Rays by Tim Holtz and Sizzex
White Pen: Uniball Signo Broad Gel Pen
Hi all,
We’re on day 9 and I am blown away by the cards presented in today’s class. Jennifer McGuire introduced me to the world of pleated cards and I just had to try out the technique for myself. I think this card is by far my favorite for the week and I am so excited to adapt it to a project I am working on for the upcoming month.
Here is my card and new technique demonstrated for day 9:
Supplies:
Card Base: Hero Hues Note card
Paper: My Mind’s Eye – Blink of an Eye
Stamp: Fiskars – All around Quotes
Embossing : Inkadinkado Linen White
Sticker Dimensional : Basic Grey
Hi all,
How about something a little different than a card today? For today’s project I’d like to show you a variation on a card…it’s a birthday box! This box in particular was made with a recipient in mind. A friend had asked that I create a box that could contain a small birthday gift and a birthday message. I asked what type of color scheme the recipient would like and was given this color scheme. This box is 100% handmade and then decorated using my stash of all things crafty. The papers are from a DCWV 8×8 paper pack. The flowers and embellishments are just a variety of products from K & Co., Prima, and Basic Grey.
Here is the exterior of the box. It measures approximately 5″L x 5″ Wx 4″H. Although it looks like an ordinary box, the sides have been removed. Once the lid is removed from the box, the four walls collapse and create a bit of a surprise!
Close up of the lid embellishments created with Basic Grey chipboard stickers, Prima flowers and a metallic button brad. VERY dimensional =)
And here is the inside of the box. Once the lid is removed, the four walls collapse and create this visual. Super fun, elegant and colorful.
