Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
I am having so much fun on the Design Team (DT) for the Krafty Chicks Challenge that I signed on for another year. Let me give you a small bio: we are a team of 4 designers dedicated to bring you inspiration on weekly challenges. We've changed things up a bit for 2025. Our goal is to keep paper crafting simple with these themes: BIRTHDAY, CHRISTMAS, CAS (Clean And Simple), and MASCULINE. Ok maybe the last one isn't so simple... if you're me. We all need these cards in our stash anyway, so why not have a fun challenge to play along with. We hope to see you in the gallery. Now let's get started with challenge:
#749 BIRTHDAY
What's the first thing you notice about this card??
I see purple! If you know me, you know I've been saying for years that I'm not a fan of any shade of purple with the exception of flowers. Yet purple seems to get thrown at me at every chance. And lately, I've been okay with it! So moving forward, I will be embracing the purple in my life.
For this BIRTHDAY card, I'm using Layout #16 from page 22 of Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue. I love that they have included these card designs to inspire us paper crafter who sometimes get stuck on where to begin.
Products used:
- Stamp Set: You Are Amazing (Retired)
- Card Stock: Thick Basic White (159299), Wisteria Wonder (Retired)
- DSP: Have A Cuppa (Retired)
- Ink Pads: Wisteria Wonder (Retired)
- Accessories: Triple Banner Punch (Retired), Detailed Birthday Edgelits (Retired), Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (164970, coming January 7th FREE in SAB brochure)
No card is complete without finishing the inside of the card and the envelope. Keep it simple with a little DSP and/or coordinating image.
Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for BIRTHDAY 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.
