The Card Concept

Today is my last post as a design team member for The Card Concept. I have had such a great time being on the team for the last 2 years! But I have a lot on my plate right now, so have decided to step down and cut back a bit. I hope to be able to play along once in awhile though!!

I used a rain boot die cut that a friend had given me, and added a bunch of flowers and greens from Cheery Lynn to make this bright and cheerful spring card!

The scalloped rectangles are also from Cheery Lynn, and the sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers "Rainy Days."

I want to thank everyone at The Card Concept..it's been a fun time!

Cheery Lynn Butterfly for The Card Concept

Hi everyone!

Here's the challenge photo for over at The Card Concept:

I was inspired by the butterflies, and used Cheery Lynn's Butterfly #5. I did a bit of layering with Cherry Lynn's pierced circles and rectangles. The foliage is also from Cheery Lynn...the Floral Bouquet kit, a set that has become a favorite of mine!

There's so many ways one could go with this photo...I hope you will play along!

The Card Concept

Hi everyone!

The challenge at The Card Concept is:

I made a quick and very simple card using a piece of designer paper from Recollections called Boho. The paper reminded me of the colors and textures in the challenge photo. I just added a Mandala Doily from Cheery Lynn.

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and I also added a couple of enamel dots.

Love that shade of purple!!

I hope you will head on over to The Card Concept and play along!

I was inspired by the pinks and grays and made a wreath with Reverse Confetti. I added  a stitched daisy from Simon Says. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession," In My Thoughts."

I added a few enamel dots, and backed it all on a wonky stitched rectangle from Avery Elle.

Hope you will join us!!!

Cheery Lynn Funny Bunny Easter card

Good morning!

The challenge this week at The Card Concept is:

The colors inspired me to make a clean and layered Easter card. I knew I had some fun plaid paper with just the right colors, and Cheery Lynn's Funny Bunny would be a cute addition.

I added some bakers twine with a tiny clothespin, and stamped the sentiment in black from Taylored Expressions Big Bold Easter.

I almost forgot...I framed the Funny bunny with Impression Obsession's rectangle 6 in 1 frame set. Love those frames!

I hope you will join us for this fun challenge at The Card Concept...we would love to have you join us!!!

The Card Concept Cozy Sweater

I'm on a roll with Poppystamps Christmas Sweater die! I think this is my 3rd sweater card I posted in the last few days.

This one is for the challenge at The Card Concept:

I looked at the photo and thought,"how cozy!" Which made me think of Poppystamps cute and cozy sweater. I didn't see until just now that one of the sequins fell off the sweater in the photo...oops!

Simon Says Stitched Daisy for The Card Concept

There's a brand new challenge starting today at The Card Concept:

I was inspired by the pretty plaids and the flowers!

 I created a card using Stampin' Up's Cups and Kettle set. I filled the coffee cup with some bright yellow daisies from Simon Says.

The border die was from a friend, and the frame I made with MFT's  Blueprints #20. I stamped the sentiment from CAS-Fridays's Amber Waves in black.

I hope you will head on over to The Card Concept and play along!
