Diagonal cards - one dp two version

 

One of the Top Cups

at Sunday Stamps

I made two quick cards, with a diagonal design, using only one dp, but using both sides of the paper.

It's from an old Simple Stories collecion, Vintage Bliss, that I have had for ages, and I thought it's time to go back and use some of my old stash.

On both cards I added thin solid cardstock stripes, flower stickers from the collection, and sentiment stickers, which say in Hebrew: "Quick Recovery".

One card is horizontal, while the other is vertical. O both cards I added some glitter enemal dots. I think they're adding a lovely final touch to the cards.

I was inspired by the color challenge at Sunday Stamps:

Stacked rectangles - a get well card

 A masculine 'Get Well' card I made, using stacked triangels dies set.

I die cut 3 different sizes of triangels, from 6 solid cardstocks - 3 in blue tones and 3 in brown/earthly tones.

I then stacked the triangles one on the other, to one of the angles, mixing the colors.

I adhered the stacked triangles in a hexagon shape on a very pale blue cardstock, and added two layers of cardstock behind, so it will be raised a little.

The sentiment says in Hebrew: 'Feel better and a quick recovery'.

I made a simple knot from a twine and adhered it between the sentiment and the hexagon. It looks to me as it it's kind of mustache :).

The whole panel was adhered to a kraft basis.

It goes for these challenges:

Speedy Recovery card - CTD meets FMS

 A card I made for two challenges:

Color Throwdown #717 - pink, mustard and green:

At first, this color combination was quite a challenge for me, but then I went for a flowery theme, and it came very easily. In the photo, the 3 small flowers looks a little orange, but IRL thery're much more yellowish than in the photo.

Freshly Made Sektches #560 - a lovely sketch. The circle can be replaced by any shape:

I added the thin strip of mustrad plaid between the two rectangles, as I felt that on my card, the gap really needed it.

The sentiment is a sticker, and it says, in Hebrew: "Always keep your smile, Speedy recovery".

Get Well card - a vase with leaves - CAS colors and sketches

A 'Get Well Soon' card, in warm colors

Honorable Mention at Fusion

On a local FB group, we make and donate cards for a hospital. Usually, there's no limitaion on the sentiment, but this time we were asked to make 'Get Well' cards. 

I used the sketch, only the sketch, from Fusion Card Challenges:

I wanted my card to be with a warm scene, so I stamped the brush strokes in an orange palette. I then stamped over the brush strokes a sketched flower, tied a twine and added a few golden sequins. The sentiment is a sticker.

I was also inspired by the orange/brown cupcakes photo at Cupcake Inspiration:

Only Solid Cardstock - Thankful

 

A CAS card, using scraps of solid cardstock, the same colors I used my previous card.

I simply adhered thin stripes of solid cardstocks to a white one, I cut a piece and then run the 'new paper' throw my Big Shot with a piercing die.

From the pierced one, I die cut the feathers and the flower frame. From the other piece I just cut two stipes, and matted them with white cardstock.

I punched a burst flower, adhered it to the center of the flower frame, and added two tiny cardstock dots.

The sentiment was die cut twice from a golden cardstock, and I embellished with 3 tiny cardstock dots.

I really love the outcome, and the fact that a CAS card can also be very colorful and even vibrant.

Only Solid Cardstock card - CTD meets FMS

Today I continiue with the 'Only Solid Cardstock' trend, and here's my CAS card.

I used Freshly Made Sketch #557 by Judy:

Only I rotated it to the side, instead of a landscape wide strip, I made it a vertical one. For the element on the main strip, the 'square', I used flowers and leaves. I also added a thin golden strip on each side of the main strip.

For the colors, I followed the beautiful color combo from The Color Throwdown #714, chosen by Amy, who asked to use navy blue, mustrad and brown:

The flowers were made with dies and punches, in the challenge color combo.

My card basis is not white, but light gray. I think it's better with these colors. What do you think?

I didn't add a sentiment, as I still need to decide for what occasion I will give it, so I left it to be added later.

This card also goes for the inspiration challenge at The Card Concept #181, with this beautiful Autumn inspiration photo:

I was inspired by the dramatic scene and colors to make my clean and layered card.

Which brings me to the last, but not least, challenge - Addicted to CAS #231,  where Nancy asked for layers:

Only Solid Cardstock / White on White - Let it Snow

 

I'm still playing with making my cards using only solid cardstocks. 

I had an idea in my head of a snowy scene, so I used only white cardstock, so it's also a 'white on white' kind of card.

I have a conffession - I don't like to make multi layers scenery cards. I never liked, and I will probably won't make much more cards of this kind.

Having said that, I do like how this card came out LOL.

Not only the circular scene is in layers, also the sentiment was die cut several times to give it dimention and was adhered to the panel using foam tape.

Only solid cardstock masculine birthday card

Playing again with only solid card, I came up with this graphic masculine card.

I took inspiration from Lisa A with her beautiful cards (you can see them HERE)

I don't have the die Lisa used, so I just cut squares in multipule sized, using my trimmer. 

Lisa's card was my jump start, but I made it my own, as I added some layered squares on top of the other squares. I think the added squatres give more interest to this card, but still keep the CAS design.

I used solid cs in blue colors (though the darker one looks black on the photo, but trust me - it's dark blue).

Autumn leaves card - only solid cardstocks

A Top Cup

at Sunday Stamps

This card was made using only solid cardstocks. 

I used SSS Outline Clustered Leaves die with 4 cs in brown, grayish blue, orange and white.

I adhered the brown ounline die cut to a pale gray cs, and filled the empty leaves spaces with die cut leaves in the other colors, adding a few around.

For the sentimen, Mazzal Tov, I die cut it twice - in blue and in orange. I took the blue one, and filled in the gaps with the orange letters, and also added two white leaves on both sides.

The panel was adhered to a black basis and my cars was done.

I'm entering it to the following challenges:

I actually managed to use all 5 colors from the scheme!
