Day 28 - 30 Days, 30 Cards

Welcome to day 28 and of course HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I hope everyone is enjoying time with loved ones in their life! I'm spending my day with my husband and my puppy Spock! I have a feeling we won't be getting out of our PJs.

Today's sketch is from the Authentique blog.

I love the honey combs on this sketch and it is what drew me in when I saw it. I kept my design very minimal and clean. I decided to make my honey combs white, the same color as my card base. But to give them a little life, I ran them through my manual die cut machine in various embossing folders, which added some texture.

Supplies: Teresa Collins - Santa's List (6x6 Paper Pad); American Crafts - White Cardstock; Studio Calico - Wood Veneer (Trees, from 2012 collection); Die cut tree (design by myself), Echo Park - Tis the Season (Sticker); Vellum, Honeycomb punch, various embossing folders.

Don't forget, you have a few more days to enter your card(s) for a chance to win a prize package from the MemoryWorks home office. Check out the 30 Days, 30 Cards link here on the blog for more information and how to submit!

Come back in December for even more daily inspiration from the TEamWorks team with their renditions of a December Daily!

Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!

Day 26 -- 30 Days, 30 Cards

Welcome to Day 26!! I can't believe this month is winding down and we are almost full swing into the holiday season!

Today sketch is from Mojo Monday.

Here is my take on the sketch above. Instead of two rectangles I actually added a gold doily. I love this line by Glitz Design and think it has a great festive feeling to it.

Supplies: Glitz Design - Hello December (12x12 Pattern Paper - Floral, Title & Accent Stickers, Flair); Gold Doily & Natural Twine (Spiegelmom Scrap); American Krafts - Kraft Cardstock.

Day 22: 30 Days, 30 Cards

Welcome back to another card post.  We are nearing the end, but I hope you are all playing with us!  We have enjoyed sharing with you!! 

I found this sketch over at the My Favorite Things blog. 

And here is my inspiration for it. 

 

 

These papers are from Echo Park's Tis the Season, and I used the journaling cards to make this card quick and easy. 

Thanks for playing along.

Day 18 of 30 Cards!

Only 36 days until Christmas... WHAT?!   Yes, my scrappy friends it's true.  Here in Wisconsin we've already had a dusting of snow.  It didn't last long, but we still got it just the same!  Just for fun, here's a link to a Christmas Countdown Clock HERE. 

November is whizzing right by us!  Have you created some cards to link up yet??  I have created more than I've posted so far but will have to catch up on my creative blog this week.  We had our youngest daughter's 2 year birthday party on Saturday.  Lot's of cuteness to say the least!  So, don't forget to link up on the Memory Works Blog-30 Days, 30 Cards page HERE.

So, onto Day 18 during this month of card making madness!  Here's my sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

And my card!  I created with Fancy Pants, Merry Little Christmas, Simple Stories December Documented (black chalkboard paper), Studio Calico & Lawn Fawn Wood Veneers, a doily trimmed in half and my favorite May Arts natural burlap string.  This was a very simple and quick card to create.

And a closer view...

 
Thanks for tagging along this month!  We're loving all the Christmas card inspiration going on around here and we hope you are too.

Now, if you've created a few cards this month please link them up for your chance at a fabulous prize from Memory Works!  You can go to the linking page by clicking on 30 Days, 30 Cards in the top of the left side bar.  If you haven't created any cards yet, we hope you can make time to create in your busy schedule.  Many of these sketches are fantastic for using up scraps of patterned papers and take the guess work out of your design. 

Happy card making!

Day 17 30 Days, 30 Cards

 

                                 

                                    What?!?  Day 17 already?!? 

         Have YOU been playing along?

That's right, it's more than half-way through the month and if you have been playing along you have 16 great

hand-made cards ready to send to your favorite family and friends.  Cuz it's too much work to send them to just anyone.  ;)  Time to make another. 

Jenn here with the Day 17 sketch from Mojo Monday:

 

And my card:

I went to my trusty My Mind's Eye Vintage Christmas 6"x6" paper pad, added some ribbon and brad.  Easy-peasy.  Now it's your turn.  Remember, there is a prize so make your card, and link it up here. 

Then mail it to a friend!  That's what I'm going to do with all the great cards I've made this month.  Have fun!

Day 14 - 30 Days 30 Cards

Hello! We are almost to the half way point, are you still with us? We hope you are getting lots of inspiration and stock piling lots of cards for the holidays.  

Let's get right to it! Here is my sketch for day 14...

and my take on the sketch....

I used Echo Park's Tis The Season for my card. 

Make sure to visit this post to find out how you can play along! We would love to see what you come up with!!

Day 13: 30 Days, 30 Cards

Wow… I can't believe we are already on Day 13!  What amazing cards we have from the MemoryWorks Design Team right?  I hope everyone is enjoying the inspiration and are also taking on the challenge of making all the cards.

Today, I thought I would share with you a sketch I found on Cardabilities!  Here is the sketch…

Using the Simple Stories Handmade Holiday's 12x12 paper pad, I was able to come up with my take on the sketch.

First, I started with cutting white card stock 4 1/4 x 11 1/2.  I then folded the card stock in half to make the card.  Next, I spritzed a chevron mask with Glimmer Mist for the background.  I used my die-cut machine to cut edges and borders from the papers and the holly for the front.  I then inked the edges of everything and went to town layering all the papers.  I also made a pocket so you could add an invite as I did or perhaps you would want to add a gift card!  As you can see, I've added baker's twine and ribbon to the tag as well.

To finish off the card, I added pop dots to the holly to lift it off the page.  I also used a white pen to give the berries a little dimension.

I hope you have enjoyed my little bit of fun and come back tomorrow as our Talented Team Member Sheri shows us some more inspiration!

Keep on Scrappin'

Day 10: 30 Days, 30 Cards

It's day 10 of 30 Days, 30 Cards! For today's card, I used Santa's List by Teresa Collins.  I love the red and craft color combo, the polka dot and chevron patterns, and of course the beautiful snowflakes of this holiday collection.

...and today's sketch came from the Studio Calico blog:

I'm all about punching notches into my projects, lately...so when I saw this sketch, I knew that I wanted to use it.

Joy:

That little pocket would be perfect for a gift card. I used one of the envelopes from the Santa's List collection for this, by cutting off the flap before punching in my notch.

The card measurements are 5.5x5.5, which I think is the perfect size for a square card.

Be sure to check out the 30 Days, 30 Cards page for details on how to play along, and a chance to win a prize.  Thanks for stopping in today, join us tomorrow for another great sketch!
