Thinking of You

Hi Crafty Friends,

t’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Karen Ostergard our challenge hostess for the month, finishes off her month with one last challenge.

This week Karen has asked us to create a monochromatic card.

For my card today I decided to create a Slimline Fold Flap card. One the front rectangle I added the "Thinking of You Perfect Pairings" die set from Concord & 9th. To give it a glittered look, before die cutting the sentiment I added Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape to the front of the cardstock and then added Cool Diamond Silk Microsoft Glitter over the sentiment.

For the inside of my card I used Woodware's Ode To You Slimline stamp which I placed as close to the fold as possible so it couldn't be seen when the card was closed.

On the left flap, I added the flowers from the frame included in Concord & 9th's Thinking of You Perfect Pairings stamp set.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Birthday Cake Fold Flap Slimline Card

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month it's time to introduce our new challenge hostess, which is ME!

Apparently the 2nd March was Old Stuff Day, for our challenge this week let's combine something older (stamps, dies etc) with something newish.

For my card today I have created a Fold Flap Slimline Card. I have made this style in the past in A2 format, but this is the first slimline version. My friend Karen Aicken has been making a few of this style recently which you can find on her blog here along with a tutorial.

For the "old stuff" portion of the challenge I pulled out Darcie Rubber Stamps Tall Birthday Cake stamp. I have had this stamp about 20 years or so and being a tall stamp, it is perfect for Slimline Cards. As you can see by the photo above I used the cake to create a shaker card. I added a birthday sentiment using a stamp from The Stamping Village's Happy Birthday stamp set.

For the new portion of the challenge I used Studio Katia's Dotted Slimline die set to add my sentiment to the inside. The sentiment is also an older stamp from Hero Arts.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
