Card Challenges

Hello Sunshine

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my little happy spot. Take a look around and hope you enjoy.

We would love to see what card creation you can bring to life. Please consider, taking a minute to post your card creation in our challenge gallery at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I took an opportunity to play with my June Paper Pumpkin Kit Box of Sunshine. Such a fun set to play with. In my opinion, this kit couldn’t be more perfect for the theme challenge at Global Design Project. The theme is sun and fun #GDP247.

So many different ways to play with this kit, the pineapple die cut, “Hello Sunshine” sentiment stamp, the gold foil sentiment mat, Black with white dots strip is a sticker strip that I cut in half and use to run the length of the card. The gold foil striped paper and the sequins are also part of the kit.

The Gold foil striped paper is actually a portion of a card front included in the kit. I cut the front down and now have the opportunity to make a minimum of 2 cards with a single card front. The colors in this card are Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay. I dry embossed the Bermuda Bay Cardstock with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

Everything comes together on a Basic Black card base. Inside the card I stamped an image of the sun and the segmented lines background stamp in Crushed Curry on a Whisper White liner. Then I ran the remaining half of the black and white polka dot sticker used on the front, along the bottom edge.

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about how this card came together. Hopefully you were even inspired just a bit.
