Just a quick post to say that I hope everyone enjoys all the fun challenges coming this month as part of the OWH Birthday Bash. I'm grateful to all the wonderful sponsors who support OWH.
Here's the card I made for the WeR challenge. I seldom used brads and eyelets because while I loved the look of them they were a hassle. If you have not tried this tool I suggest you try one out the next chance you get, whether at a crop or a friend's, to see if you end up liking it as much as I do. It's become indispensable to me in my card making.
This is my CASE of Ardeth's beautiful clean and simple card design. I have a bunch of papers like this with bold, big patterns that I keep avoiding and I think this layout will finally let me use them up.
Lastly, here is a Miss You card for the Inspired Stamps challenge. Miss You and Thinking of You card designs are a mainstay in my OWH boxes.
Happy Crafting Everyone!
I love the crop-a-dile, too! Fantastic color combo in your top card.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday I will get to give that tool a try. I sure like how yours came out and I love the first card.... I just got that stamp and now I am inspired to use it! That 3rd card is really nice, love the different colored swirls.
ReplyDeleteI love your card with the eyelets. I can only imagine how awesome that tool is and would love to win it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards this time around using those big bold patterns. I too struggle to use them , so maybe this is the boost I need to finally use them!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I just love these cards! I think your fall card with the eyelets is my favorite - that sentiment is terrific!
ReplyDeleteI have a rough time with papers with large patterns too. I love all your great ideas to use them! Thank you!
ReplyDeletelove your cards here Paula...but then again....I always love your cards, LOL!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards. I love all the colors and the CAS layout. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love my Crop-a-Dile too! You did a great job with all 3 cards. I agree that the bold designs done like your second card is perfect and I too have tons that need to be done.
