    Guest Designers–Fun Cards with Fresh Prints, Banners, and more

    This week I’m sharing some of the great cards I got from my team’s Occasion Catalog card swap.  They came up with such fabulous cards that I wanted to share the inspiration with everyone! 

    Today’s cards show some cute ways to use the patterns in the Fresh Prints designer paper stack to add a touch of pattern to your cards…plus I just realized they use the exact same color combination too! Winning combo I think.

    Card 1 – Perfect Pennants w/ Colored Rhinestones

    This first card was created by the talented Angela McCormack and is a great clean and simple card that uses the pattern of the designer paper to compliment the shape of the sentiment. (I REALLY need to get out my pennant framelits and start using them… love how this looks layered like this).

    Plus, if you look, those red spots in the corners are actually rhinestones that she colored with a sharpie to fit in perfectly!

    Card 2 – Banners for a Birthday

    Next up was this fun Birthday card created by Sara Grafton that is another clean and simple card but has so many fun touches that it packs a lot of punch! Smile 

    The Happy Birthday to You image is from one stamp and she did an awesome job coloring it in before stamping.  Then the touches of the popped up cupcake and the set of banners using the new Banner punch from the Sale-a-Bration catalog is a great addition.

    Aren’t they so talented?  I love that both cards as so fun to look at, yet are something I could do at home easily enough.  Thanks, Ladies, for sharing your wonderful ideas and inspiration!

  • A Little More Convention Inspiration

    Well, today is my day to photograph some of the recent projects I’ve made to share with you; so while I work on that, I thought I’d share with you a few more swap cards I received at convention.  These were all cards that when I saw them I just had to trade for them.  So I hope you enjoy like I did!

    I love how this card uses the scallop circle from the Perfect Pennant bigshot die and weaves Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon to make this adorable wreath!

    I see this card and I think it looks like a present in the middle of a white card – perfect for a birthday card.



    I’m trying to find the creator of this card, I’ll update shortly.

    When I saw this card, I thought it looked like a work of art and was so excited to swap for it.  The cutest thing was the person who created it had designed it for a “Wow! swap” and was concerned it wasn’t good enough.  So, she really appreciated that I was wow’ed by it and I loved having such beautiful inspiration.

    I’ve done masking techniques before and I’ve seen sponging and brayering techniques but I never put them together like in this card.  Doesn’t it make such a neat effect!  I know I’ll have to try different fun masked shapes now.
