OCC Challenge - Color Challenge

Hello and Happy Saturday!!!  I have this week's Our Creative Corner challenge to share with you.  This week is a color challenge.  You can see the colors to the left.  These colors are really warm and I thought this card would be easy.  But, I really struggled with it.  I like the overall look of my card, but I really with I could shuffle the colors around.

I used a scoring board to create the diamond panel.  Once all the lines were scored, I folded the cardstock and sponged the edge.  When I was done I just flatted out the panel and adhered it to the rust card stock.  The little blue circles came from a small hole punch (1/8" I think) and they are glued down using a drop of liquid glue.  

Make sure you check out all of the design team samples at Our Creative Corner.  Make some time and get crafty with us this weekend.


Have a great day!

OCC Challenge - Fun with Folds!

Hey there!!!  I have a fun challenge to share with you today.  If you are like me, you get stuck in a rut of making a standard card that folds in the middle.  Well, the challenge from Our Creative Corner this week is to make a card that doesn't fold the "normal" way or to use something folded on your card.

I wanted to try something new, so I headed over to the resource page at SCS and found this tutorial for my card.  I think I may have made a card like this before, a long, long time ago.  I have clearly been obsessed with the Hippy Girl paper pad by Kaiser Craft.  I used one of the label die cuts that comes with the paper pad as the focal point on my card.

Instead of closing the card with a ribbon that would need to be untied, I decided to make a belly band that will slide off the card.  The pink label die cut is attached to the belly band with foam dimensionals.  I also decorated the inside of the card using another piece of patterned paper with rounded corners.

You won't want to miss the other fabulously folded cards that the rest of the design team created at Our Creative Corner.  I Hope you all have a great weekend and have some time to join in this fun challenge!!!
