GDT Card for Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Christmas in July

 

I'm back today with another GDT card for the Daring Cardmakers Challenge.

This week the theme is Christmas in July.  For all the details about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

To make my card I used this very cute paper and image collection from Relatively Thoughtful:

It's a great collection with lots of images and papers and you can find it here.  

The digital version of the collection is here.

I die cut the image and then just used some plain paper and a couple of simple embellishments,  You don't need to add much to make very cute cards!

New Cut It Up Challenge - Clean and Simple

 

We're back today on the Cut It Up Challenge Blog with a new challenge:

Here's another view of my card:

To make my card I used a die set by Sue Wilson from Creative Expressions called 'Floral Panels - Button Flower'.  I die cut them from black paper using some double sided adhesive and then simply stuck it onto a white card base.  I used some silver sparkle dots in the middle of each flower.

The sentiment I've used is from the Simply Said stamp set from Stampin' Up.

Guest Designer Card for Gerda Steiner Designs - Take What You Need

I spotted a post on Facebook recently asking for people to Guest Design for Gerda Steiner Designs to make a card for them.  I replied and was very excited to be asked to join in!

So here I am with my card created using the 'Take What You Need' printable greeting card which you can find here on the website.

I printed the card design on to white card and then decided to use the front panel matted on to blue and brown card to give the edge of my card some definition.

I coloured the digi image with my Promarkers and then cut the little slips at the bottom of the card before attaching them back to the design using small scraps of double sided tape so they can be easily removed:
