It's so nice to sit down, relax and create a card to enter into a challenge. My Creative Time currently has an Alphabet Challenge going on. Pick a letter from the Alphabet and add elements to the card that start with that letter. I chose the letter B and here are all my B elements along with the My Creative Time sets I used for each one:
- Balloons/Bow-Stitched Party Dies
- Butterfly-Postcard Add-Ons
- Banner-Chocolate Greetings (WELCOME)
- Beautiful Blue Design Papers-My Minds Eye Moments Collection
- Bubble-Stitched Round Speech Bubbles
I started with a dark navy BLUE textured cardstock for my gift card holder, next I added a stitched square from the 4 x 4 Journal Die set cut from a cute little polka dot print. This gift card will be going to our friends that are moving into a new house this weekend. We will be giving them a gift card from Bed, Bath & Beyond so they can buy something nice for their new place. Going with that theme I added a little house that I made using the stitched arrow from the 4 x 4 Journal Die set. I trimmed off the pointy ends to make it straight at the bottom to look like a house. I stamped some grass on the square before I added the house. I used a stamp from the Hello Spring stamp set. I masked off the flowers so only the grass would stamp on the paper. I added pop dots to the house for dimension and placed a banner cut from the Chocolate Greetings Die/Stamp set behind it. I stamped the word Welcome on it. By the way, I'm using a fabulous Navy BLUE ink from Heidi Swapp for all my stamping. Next I cut a small speech BUBBLE cloud from BLUE cardstock and placed it behind the house. A small BUTTERFLY stamped from the Post Card Add Ons stamp set was my final addition to this part of the card. What better way to celebrate than with a few BALLOONS. I cut a grouping of three from pretty BLUE patterned papers and added a BOW to them.
For the inside of the card I added an stitched oval to stamp my sentiment on. I used a couple different stamp sets and masking to personalize my inside message so it would say Congratulations on your new home.
