Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I focused a little more on the cookie aspect this week, because hey... COOKIES, lol! Having found the super-fun vintage-inspired recipe card in an older October Afternoon miscellany packet, I decided to build my card around it. I wasn't able to make the gorgeous teal from the inspo pic work, but I brought in lots of the red, kraft and white, which I think looks pretty good."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "The red glittery snowflake reminded me of a poinsettia, so that is where my design began ... I also incorporated the colors ... because I love them.  I sponged peacock ink through punchinella for my background and then added sentiment stamping.  The poinsettia was stamped twice and embossed.  I cut out the center from the second stamp and attached with foam tape for dimension.  I used the lobster ink and water to *paint* my flower."

Remember, you have until Wednesday, August 12th at 6pm EST to link-up your inspired creations.

Cookies 4 Santa

This fortnight we'd like to see holiday cards based on any aspect of this gorgeous inspiration photo that appeals to you, whether it's the colors, the shapes, the idea of leaving a note and cookies for the man in red... in short, you can use as many (or as few) elements as you find inspiring!

Here's what we made this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "When I saw the plate of cookies, I knew I wanted to do a teal & red snowman card ... so I pulled out my vintage Frosty from Artistic Outpost and my new Lawn Fawn Peacock ink  (love that color) and pulled this card together using this week's sketch from The Paper Players.  I added some sparkle & shine with teal glitter paper and sequins."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "When I first saw the photo, I worried I might not have enough relevant stash items to be able to construct anything interesting, but as it turned out, I almost had too many cool things-- not that I'm complaining, lol! In the end, I focused on the colors and the cookies; added in some "secondary" ideas from the picture (white woodgrain and snowflakes); and mixed in a few extras (trees, a santa hat) to flesh out my little cluster of elements."

Now it's your turn to take whatever aspect(s) of the photo you like best and turn them into a gorgeous holiday card! Link your creations here by 6pm (EST) Wednesday, August 12th. Keyword for galleries and Flickr is JB:15:16.
