Whew! I haven’t worked this hard on my blog in ages! There was a time when I’d create and post a card a day, but those days are long gone. Well, that is until Martin Stone decided to do a 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge and I decided to accept the challenge. So far, I’ve done all the challenges–except one–this month. I’m really going to try to keep up with the challenges for the rest of the month. Wish me luck!
Today’s challenge is a color combination: Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, and Night of Navy. These colors feel masculine to me so I created a card with a masculine feel.
I used the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a 4″ by 5-1/4″ Crumb Cake Card Stock panel. I adhered this to a Crumb Cake Card Stock card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I found a scrap of Night of Navy Card Stock in my scrap box and cut it to 2-5/8″ by 4-1/4″. I embossed this with the Whimsical Woodland Folder and adhered it directly to the card front. I found a bit of Balmy Blue Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper which I cut to 1-1/2″ by 4-3/4″. I wrapped some linen thread around this DSP and then adhered it to the card front.
Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp in Night of Navy Ink onto Basic White Card Stock and cut it out with one of the Framed Florets Dies. I adhered this directly to the card front, as well.
To finish the card I added three Rustic Metal Adhesive-Backed Dots. I had a fun time diving into my scrap box to find bits and bobs to use on this card–it’s for this very reason I keep a scrap box!
