The Card Concept 105

The Card Concept

Hey Friends, Sorry this post is late! Lots of Holiday celebrating around here! This week we invite you to share your Christmas tree with us or a favorite card you made in 2018. Easy Peasy right?

I'm sharing one of my favorite cards. It was from February of 2018. I like this card because of the big gold heat embossing sentiment and pretty patterned papers. 

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday. See you next time!

The Card Concept 104

 Hey Friends, I'm sitting out for this The Card Concept challenge but we have such a pretty inspiration for you this time.

Multiple holiday cards

Hey Friends, I've got some random Holiday cards to share today. The first one is a Gina K Designs/Simon Says Stamp Collab. set. The trees, reindeer and sentiment are from that set. The gingham stamp is Simon Says Stamp. 
I stamped the trees in green on a kraft base. After stamping the gingham in black on red CS, I die cut a circle, set the silver embossed reindeer on top and added a white embossed sentiment, sequins and a silver bow. 
daranddiane Double D challenge -Deer.

 For this one ( I made 2 actually) I stamped some Simon Says Stamp snowflakes on blue CS with ink and heat embossing. Then I sponged on more distress ink around the outside and added a sentiment and sequins.

These 2 sets are Wplus9. The houses and trees are a separate set. The text and banner are a different Wplus9 set. I copic-colored the images to match some patterned paper. I popped the panel up, added a little stamped flower, sequins and twine. 

Thanks for stopping by!

The Card Concept 103

Hey Friends! The Card Concept has a great photo inspiration for you! You can use it anyway you'd like. How about a December birthday? 

I chose to use my Avery Elle cupcake stamp set for this clean and layered card. I stamped the 2 piece cupcake. The top and the bottom are separate, some on white card stock and some on patterned paper with ink colors to match the inspiration. 

I pulled out a MS holly punch and some puffy stickers from my stash to decorate said cupcakes. As I write this, darned if I know which set the sentiment comes from. Sorry!

A little patterned paper for the background and some rounded corners to complete. 

I hope you'll come join us and also take a look at the design team's cards. 

See you soon!

The Card Concept 102

Hey Friends, Time sure is flying by! Time to make Christmas cards if you haven't started already! LOL. I'm way behind but will add to handmade cards with pre-made. 

The Card Concept Challenge 102 is a pretty one and can be interpreted any way you'd like. I focused on the gingham pillow and tree for my clean and layered card.

 I love this Hero Arts set and was happy to use it. It's a color layering stamp so the trees are stamped with 2 colors of ink and another layer was heat embossed in white. I also embossed the deer, star and greeting. 

I hope you join us this week.Check out the design team's card too, they are gorgeous!

Hugs, Kim

Lawn Fawn Challenge 40 Color Inspiration

Hey Friends, I wanted to play in the newest challenge at Lawn Fawnatics. I recently picked up the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas paper pad and it was perfect for the challenge. I pulled out my LF Snow Day set for this one. And I used the nice list from the Holiday Helpers set. 

I colored the images with Copics and die cut out. The tree and sentiment are from the same Snow Day set.

I laid it all out with the help of Mojo Monday 502 sketch! Yay, they started have sketches again! I even pulled out Spellbinder dies for the scalloped circle and a punch for the scalloped border. Even tho distress ink backgrounds are the modern card norm, I so enjoyed making a card the way I used to. 

Thank for stopping by!

The Card Concept 101

Hi Friends, it's time for our 101st challenge at The Card Concept! I went quite literal with this one. I purchased Penny Black's Pumpkin Truck stamp because I have lots of men to make cards for. I really like it too! 

I stamped it on watercolor paper with Versafine Ink and colored it with distress inks and a water brush. I then set it on a background of navy and white plaid patterned paper and then onto a navy card base. The sentiment is from Inky Antics. 

The card is a cross between mixed media and clean and layered.

We'd love to have you join us for the challenge this week!
