Washi Tape Holiday cardIt’s time for the Festive Friday Challenge, where every challenge is a party! For FF0017, we are celebrating World Card Making Day (October 8th) and/or Washi Tape. I will be celebrating World Card Making Day by making holiday cards.  Because I had a ton of fun using the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape, I will probably whip up a couple more of today’s Washi Tape designs while I’m at it.  Whatever way you decide to create is fine with us. We would love to have you play along.

Strips of Suite Season Washi Tape are alternated to form a festive holiday pattern in traditional holiday colors.

Once the card stock panel was completely covered, I matted it onto Copper Foil, and adhered it to the card base.

A fabulous sentiment,  created with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set, was all that was needed to complete the card.

Clean and Simple Sports for PP410

, , ,
Comments: 18

It’s time to play with The Paper Players! Can you believe it has been three years since I last uttered those words? But I am proud and happy to announce that I am back on the Design Team that I love so much, creating alongside the most amazing women I know.   Their artistic ability and creative spirit inspire me.  It is an honor to be back, and I hope I do not disappoint them!

This week the lovely Claire is hosting a Clean and Simple Challenge – Sports! Can you believe that my first challenge back is a Clean and Simple challenge?  Clean and Simple has always been a stretch for me.  However, I am always up for a challenge.  I hope you enjoy today’s card.

Clean and Simple

Colors of the Day

Being an Iowa gal,  there was no doubt that my Sports card would feature the Iowa Hawkeyes.  However, this card can very easily be made into a card celebrating YOUR favorite team:

  • Use your team’s colors. The card base measures 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″.  The Daffodil Delight layer measures 4″ x 5-1/4″; the Basic Black layer is 3-3/4″ x 5″; and the top layer is 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″.
  • Substitute your team’s mascot. Herky the Hawk (a digital image I purchased off Etsy) is perched atop an oval created with Stampin’ Up!’s Layering Ovals framelits. It was matted on a Basic Black scalloped oval, and adhered to the card base using dimensionals.
  • Spell out the name of your favorite team.  I pulled out the retired Little Letters thinlits, but you can use alphabet stamps if you wish.
  • Finish off your card with rhinestones or embellishments of your choice.

Clean and Simple

Wouldn’t this make an adorable invitation to a “watch party”, whether it’s a Bowl Game or the NCAA tournament, or even a BBQ before the big game? What do you think?

Clean and Simple

I hope you will join us over at The Paper Players  and celebrate my first week back on the team. I can’t wait to see what you create!  The challenge is open until Friday,  September 21, 2018 at 12:00 Noon PST.
As always, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Now scurry on over and see what my fellow design team members have created.  Until next time…
