Challenge for Monday, April 19, 2021

For some reason I had difficulty thinking/creating this past 2 weeks... must be all the wind and pollen floating around!  That's what I'll blame it on anyway!!

Here is the card I made using the pieces I sent you...

Supplies:

B&T paper - Eat Play Love paper pack
Stamp - Eat play love - cardmaking stamp + thin cuts
Cardstock - White daisy, Candy apple, Lemonade, Lagoon

I added color to the jar with Triblend markers... I colored in the heart, then used a silver pen to add dots. 

Here is the start of a joy fold card...

The base (hollyhock) is 5 1/2" x 7 1/4", scored at 4 1/4".

The flap (pear) is 4" x 5 1/2", scored at 2 3/4".

The back side of the flap gets glued into the top half of the base (the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" side)

Here is the card folded... the bottom of the hollyhock base folds up, and the top of the pear flap folds down over it.  You can add a decorative piece to hold the flap down if you choose.  I did not include this!

I used a punch to add a decorate edge... it's hard to see, so I added a piece of B&T paper so you could see it better.  I think I like it better anyway... even if it isn't straight!

So, the challenge is to use the base/flap to create a card, along with the pieces of Brushed paper I sent.  Or... cut your own and make several!

Happy stamping!

Challenge card for Monday, April 5, 2021

 Hello!

The challenge pieces were mailed to stamp club members Thursday morning before nine a.m.  Hopefully you will have them in time!

Pieces were stamped from C1889 Cherry Blossoms.  Sorry, but I am not sure what color the pink cardstock is... retired and I lost track!

Here are the cards I made...

I got the idea for the top card from another maker... Sorry but I didn't remember to get her name to give her credit.

On the bottom card, I had to restamp the "thinking of" as this was the first one I stamped and I had the stamp on the block crooked!  I die cut the base, and just colored in the flowers with triblend markers.

Happy stamping!!
