Can't believe we are at the end of March already. Already into Spring but still feel like winter some days. I'm hoping for April Showers so that we can have beautiful May flowers. This week, it's an AnyThing Goes (ATG) kind of challenge over on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. These are the easiest kind of cards to make since I can play with any theme I want, almost like there's NO rules. Here's my card:
This Throwback Thursday card was made using a stamp set dating back to 2019. Nothing says birthdays like a bunch of balloons... and cake, and candles. Let's just stick with balloons today. I even used really old Designer Series Paper (DSP) called It's My Party. It must have been one of my favourites back then because I barely cut into it. Isn't sad that we love DSP so much we hold onto it for all eternity???
Supplies I used:
- Birthday Banners stamp set: retired 2019
- Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
- Basic White card stock: 159276
- Crushed Curry card stock: 131199
- Basic Black card stock: 121045
- It's My Party DSP: retired
- Crushed Curry ink pad: 147087
- VersaMark ink pad: 102283
- White Embossing Powder: 155554
- Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine: 150673
- Stitched Shape dies: retired
- Layering Circles Dies: 151770
- White Baker's Twine: 155475
- Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
In keeping to my usual card set, I finished the inside of the card and the envelope with a few balloons and more DSP. You don't have to complicate it, you want your card the star of the show, so CAS is best.
I will be entering my card in the Inspire.Create.Challenge this week. I used their wonderful sketch. I've actually used it twice this week. Check out my Tuesday Night Live @7pm from this week on Facebook.
Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for Christmas week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
