Inkspirational Challenge #314 - Bright Cheery Colors

I took three colors from the Mood Board for the card I decided to make today for Inkspirational Challenges #314.

I started with a 5-1/2" x 6" light blue base card. I die cut a feather-edge piece from purple and attached it to the left side of the card. I stamped a fancy script 'hello' in purple onto pink card stock, die-cut it out and attached it to the bottom right. Lastly I added some pink gems for a little bling.

Diamond Point Card

I am always looking for new ideas for handmade cards. I saw a card this week that I had never seen before and just had to make one. I searched YouTube for a video showing how to make the card and found out that this type of card has been around for at least two years. It's called a Diamond Point Card. The card not only has an interesting shape to the front, but is very easy to make.

I began with a 5-1/2" square lilac card base. Once the front panels were cut, I glued on the designer paper and arranged the pieces of the card front. For the center I die cut three round pieces in the colors of the designer paper then stamped the sentiment on the top layer. I attached it to the center of the card with foam mount tape to raise it off the card. I then added three lilac adhesive mini-beads and a small bow. Lastly I added a piece of designer paper inside the card.

Inkspirational Challenge #313 - Word Prompt FOLD

I'm in a black and white card-making mood. I decided to make a double gate-fold card using only black and white for the current Inkspirational Challenge.

I started with a 5-1/2" x 11" black card. I scored it to make the basic gate-fold card. I cut black and white designer paper (then backed the paper with white) to fit the folds and glued them on. With the card folded, I made a belly-band to go around the card to help keep it closed. On the center of the belly band I attached a black and white die cut that I stamped with 'hello my friend'. I then stamped and die cut a bee image and attached it at the right of the sentiment.

I decided on making a folded black card to hold the inside greeting. I added some black and white floral designer paper to the center and backed the card with a white layer. I attached it to the inside of the card. On a smaller piece of white card stock I stamped my inside message and attached it inside the folded black card.
