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!

Express Kit - October 2013 Teresa Collins Masquerade Party

Welcome again to Express Kit Monday.  This is our last glimpse of the Express Kit for this month and it's so fun to see what our Design Team and Head Office have created for us.  Have you ever wondered how to make a clipboard album?  Or an memo board to put by the phone for the family?  How about a frame of a sweet little someone?  Well as I mentioned last week, you won't be disappointed at what the Design Team has created this week!

This would work by the phone so that you can keep notes for the family.

How about loads of room for photos and journaling...

Such fun pockets of storage and journal space.

There is a lot of real estate in this album

Using the kit and the clipboard that came with the kit, I created this Frame of my youngest grandson.  We took him to his first pumpkin patch and with our big family he thought he had a fan club so he waved to everyone!  I also used inks on all the edges and my die-cut machine to enhance the kit.

Here is a little added project.  Do you need a last minute goodie box for your child's classroom?  This is not an original idea, just something I saw on Pinterest.  I used a toilet paper roll and covered it with paper from the kit.  Then I used my die-cut machine to cut out the wings.  I further added the eyes to bring the bat to life.  It was quick and easy and can be done tonight!  I may have to make one for each of the 8 grandkids…lol!  They would love them with a little Halloween Treat inside.

Thank you for joining me this month as we ventured out and created unique projects for your inspiration.  Come back soon to see what other funness the Design Team has in store for you.  Also, check out our inspiration projects that were created with this kit.

Challenge Wednesday

Hi everyone... Janey here.  This month's challenge is hosted by Design Team Member Meg.  She has asked all of us to come up with a project (card, layout, tag, whatever) as long as we include three supplies.  She wants us to go fishin' in our stash for paper, stickers and a button (or flair).  Seemed pretty easy until I had to come up with it...lol.  So I went to the MemoryWorks July Express Kit and came up with "Life's a Wave" card.  I have a special someone that will be getting this card for his birthday this weekend.  I hope he likes it!

I used stickers, buttons, some twine from my stash, Tim Holtz ink and some pop-dots.  Great challenge!  There is still time to participate in this month's July challenge.  Now let's see what you come up with.
