Happy Happy Happy with CYCI #65

CYCI #65

My card today is an inspiration from the Can You Case It card challenge. As you know, I have to practice what I preach and I love card challenges. They have helped me expand my skill as a cardmaker and a challenge is always good for the soul.

My scraps are never thrown away in my craft room because I know they will find their way into a card somehow. Today was the day…LOL.  Yes, even the flap lining on the envelope was scrap. What made it easy to choose the ink color was matching it to the scraps. That’s what so great about Stampin’ Up! (and I think you’ll agree) they make everything match for you!

MAGGIE MADE TIPS: Not in cash, but great crafting recommendations.

  • Save Your Scraps. Why? For the reason I mentioned above. I keep every piece of my negative leftovers when I use my framelits. However, sometimes I use that negative space as a template to daub color inside of it and create the same image with ink.

Way to Go

What better way to let someone know that you are proud of them. I just love the bright bold colors that pop off the card. Perfect use of your Boho Bossoms punch.

  • Old things learned new. Huh!?  I believe that too much white space is just right. Long ago I learned about the Rule of thirds in photography. It basically teaches you to find a balance in the picture you are taking. Well, the same holds true in card making. Here’s a crash course that will give you a visual about what I’m talking about. Or you can watch a video instead.

Stampin’ Up! Dual Valentine Cards

Valentine

To kick off Sale-A-Bration with the Occasions catalog I held a workshop and we had a fabulous time creating this sweet Valentine card. My number one paper I have been using for making Valentine themed cards is the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack. It is simply amazing and both sides match every single paper. I just love it!

Valentine

The second card was changed slightly with the use of the Sweet Heart Punch instead of a diagonal cut where the sentiment was stamped. If you don’t order the paper while it’s hot, I assure you that you’ll be kicking yourself in the but if you don’t order it now.

MAGGIE MADE TIPS: Not in cash, but great crafting suggestions.

  • To make the sentiment stand out a little I stamped the sentiment on a Whisper White diagonal cut card stock on the first card. I wanted the second card slightly different so I changed the shape with the Sweetheart Punch heart. I think I like the heart shape better. Which one do you like better?
