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!

Hi everyone, Jody here with more card inspiration for you.  This month is flying by, so I hope you've been creating along with us so far.  Remember, you can create and link up anytime before November 30th for your chance at a fabulous prize from Memory Works! 

 

Let's get on with it.. here's my sketch.

 

 

 

And here's my card!  I altered the sketch a little and used a standard size card, 4.25 x 5.5 inches, instead of a square card.  I layered several of the Fancy Pants Merry Little Christmas papers from the 6x6 inch pad with foam adhesive to add some dimension.  Next I added the chipboard buttons along with other embellishments from my stash!  Overall, this was  pretty quick card to create.

 

 

I posted some additional close up pictures on my blog today{SpiegelMom Scraps!}.  Please stop over to see some more!

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!

Day 7: 30 Days, 30 Cards

Hi everyone and welcome to Day 7 of our 30 Days, 30 Cards.  I am happy to be here to show you another card idea.  My inspiration came from Cardabilities.  I loved all the layers of this card!  Here is the sketch.

Here is my version of the card.  I started with different cuts from my die-cut machine with red and green card stock layered on embossed white card stock.  I added baker's twine before I adhered it all.  I also made several cuts to make the poinsettia.  I layered the cuts, inked all the pieces, misted the edges then raised it off the paper.  I cut the striped paper at 1" and put across the card and another piece just slightly under it.  I cut the salutation and placed it on the card.  I added Stickles for a little bling and sprayed the card with Glimmer Mist.

Here is a close-up of the poinsettia… 

A view of the salutation!
