Hello, my friends. Happy last day of September. I can't believe how long it has been since I've posted here on my blog. Life does have a way of getting in the way. I am way behind on my posts for Creative Card Chicks so I'm going to work my way backward. Creative Card Chicks is a group on Splitcoast Stampers. Each month we have a hostess who puts together a card kit with images, designer paper, embellishments, and so forth. Then we each get to make cards from the kit and share them on our forum or blogs. September was Vikki Jo's turn. She sent us some pretty designer papers and cardstock and her theme was One Sheet Wonders (OSW). She gave us links to some great templates for 6" x 6" papers. I made five cards, but I'm only sharing four right now. The photo of one did not come out great so I need to redo it.
The designer papers is Stampin Up - Fitting Florets. The cardstock is also from Stampin Up. Vikki Jo sent Blushing Bride. I pulled Hibiscus Burst and Sage Shadow from my stash which matched pretty well with the designer paper colors.
The Happy Birthday die I've had for some time and have never used. I already had the die cut out sitting on my table, so I decided to use it for one of the cards. "Think Peaceful Thoughts" comes from a Power Poppy stamp set called "Good Thinking." The sentiment "Happiest Birthday Wishes" comes from a set that is not marked so I have no idea what company it comes from. I also couldn't find the other stamp "You Make Life So Much Fun" so I have no idea what company made it either. I was neglectful about writing them down as I was creating.
The OSW template I used was from LeeAnn Greff's website. https://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2020/05/a-new-template-for-6-x-6-designer-paper-makes-3-fast-cute-cards-.html?fbclid=IwAR0P9UAWdXZ3c-94oscqlz5uGTmjmY2QJ6WK0J7yMK6ZEKYwH6HiJmvTVvw
Thanks Vikki Jo for a fun challenge. I can't wait to make some more fun, easy cards.
