Howdy! I've been busy training for a few races, but you know me, I can always carve time into my day for a little crafting and baking {smile}!
Today, I did some paper crafting! I need to make 16 cards, to say 'Thank You' to various folks who help support the North Valley Academy PTO. So, I set out to get some inspiration.
I stopped by Mojo Monday to see their current sketch. And I have to say, it's pretty exciting! The possibilities are truly endless. You can use either rectangles to showcase pattern papers, embossed papers, text papers, emphoria, and so much more.
here is what I made:
I am also entering this card in another card challenge: Word Art Wednesday. Their challenges are: Anything Goes & Family Friendly. So, how can you say no to that? The design team will certainly inspire you!
Recipe: I used my favorite kraft card stock for the card base. I just love this card stock. The color, the feel, the ease of work. Everything of it! I added a matt of very vanilla card stock, by Stampin' Up! to give my main piece some contrast.
I used digital papers, for all of my pattern papers. I distressed the edges of all the papers with tea stain ink. I adhered the pink floral paper onto the very vanilla card stock, and then added a machine stitch border.
I layered a floral tag and a bingo card off center, and angled in two different orientations.
I hand stamped the sentiment for my horizontal piece. I used a very old stamp set by Technique Tuesday. I added a banner edge to give the sentiment some visual interest.
I replaced the circle element with a multi-loop bow. I tied a vintage kraft button, using kraft twine to the bow.
Viola! Not a 10 minute card, but not too incredibly daunting to make over a dozen cards. And yes, I made a green version and a blue version. Variety is the spice of life, right?
Thank you for looking!
