Mary and Angels

-

Christmas is just around the corner! Have you organized your holiday cards yet? If not, this card has high-impact with minimal effort.

With the black embossing and reflective paper, it's really impressive to see in person.
I used the Mary and Angels stamp from Lost Coast Designs, shiny silver cardstock, and black embossing powder to create this card. Following along with this photos for step by step help:
I hope you enjoy creating Christmas cards even half as much as I do. It's a wonderful way to connect with friends and family during the holiday season. Share your creation to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and you might win November's "Fun and Festive" Challenge prize.

Joyful Dragonflies

When the September Challenge topic was introduced to me as "Inchies/Twinchies," I'll admit I had no idea what that meant. It was explained to me that the stamped design should include 1-inch, 2-inch or 1x2-inch squares. Gotcha. I found it trickier than I imagined-- a 1-inch square is REALLY tiny, especially if you have big hands like me haha.  Another challenge is finding a stamp small enough to fit into a 1-inch square. I decided to take one dragonfly from the end of the Dragonflies Border stamp for my background image. The Joy stamp fit within a 1x2-inch square. Barely. Follow along to see how I created this card: I hope you'll give this type of card design a try. Sometimes what seems really simple is actually more challenging to put together than you think. And when you do, post your creation to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for your chance to win a prize.

Oh My Gourd

My favorite season is FINALLY here! Hands down, Autumn is the best time of year. Cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, and pumpkin everything. Pumpkin decor, pumpkin-spiced foods--I can't get enough of it! I based the card design around this sentiment sticker that reads "Oh My Gourd, Happy Fall." I created a background using the Large Flourish stamp which I then cut into 1x2-inch and 2-inch squares as part of the September Challenge hosted by Lost Coast Designs . Follow along to see how I made this card: You'll need to work quickly if you're hoping to make today's September 30 deadline for this month's Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity . Get crackin' and maybe you'll win the prize. You got this!
