SSC2: Week One, Day Three

Fabulous cards in the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class today from the guest designers. I modeled my card on the one shared by Laura Bassen with a few changes.

SSC2: Week One, Day Three

Although I normally shy away from pastels, the Atlantic paper from Studio Calico has some great patterns that reinforced my nautical theme and still kept to this week’s color palette. Laura stitched her banners on the left side. I adhered mine to a rectangular panel on the left, which is shorter in width than the banners, allowing the banners on the right to “flutter.” Without the stitching, the left side needed a little “something,” so I added the twine.

Supplies: Memory Box anchor die; Simon Says woodgrain cardstock; MFT fishtail die; Studio Calico and October Afternoon patterned papers; twine; Simon Says “you” die cut and stamp; Versamark; Hero Arts embossing powder

SCC2: Day Two

Another fun day in the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class.

Of course, short on time, I decided to choose a technically challenging card! Let’s just say that the perfectionist inside of me had a few fits. My card is based on one shared by Joy Taylor.

SCC2: Day Two

I switched up the supplies a bit, as I don’t own the ones that she used.

Supplies: Memory Box cardstock; MME enamel dots; Technique Tuesday Awesome stamp set; Spellbinders circle dies; Hero Arts Granite shadow ink

Pinspired Challenge #13

Pinspired Challenge #13

I drew inspiration from the color scheme and the gingham pattern in the photo. For my card, I used one of the My Time Made Easy kits – Grammy’s Sewing Kit. I fussy cut the digital images (as I don’t own a Silhouette) that I had recolored in Photoshop.

Three runner ups will be chosen and win a “Pin Pal” badge for their blog.
