WCMD 2018 Personal Challenge

October 7, 2018 2 Comments

If you saw yesterday’s blog post you’ll know that I set myself a personal challenge to mark World Card Making Day.  Starting at 12 noon on October 6th I would design and make from scratch, 24 cards in 24 hours.  In the first 10 hours I managed to complete 12 cards including the inside and envelopes.  Then I remembered that I hadn’t written today’s blog post!

So here I am after 10 solid hours of crafting, faithfully typing up a blog post for you.  As I stifle yet another yawn, I’m grateful that it could be a simple Sunday project.

Simple thank you card created as part of my WCMD 2018 Personal Challenge to design and create 24 different cards in 24 hours

CARD 1 OF 24

If you’ve been following my progress over on my Facebook page you’ll know that this was the first card I created for my personal challenge.

I began by cutting a piece from the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This was fixed to a layer of Grapefruit Grove Card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

Then I stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set onto a strip of Whisper White Card with Rich Razzleberry ink.  This strip was also attached to some Grapefruit Grove Card with liquid glue.

QUICK AND EASY

Using my Stampin’ Trimmer I cut and scored a piece of Thick Whisper White Card.  Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I attached the mounted DSP to the front of the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and then added the sentiment.

To complete the project I used StazOn Jet Black ink to stamp one of the flower images from the Love What You Do Stamp Set in the bottom right corner.  I then stamped the same image onto the front of a Whisper White Medium Envelope.

On the DSP this particular flower image is coloured in So Saffron, so that’s the ink pad I chose.  First I squeezed the closed ink pad so some of the ink would transfer to the inside of the lid.  Then I opened the pad and used a barely-damp Aqua Painter to pick up the ink from inside the lid and paint the two stamped flower images.

As soon as the Whisper White layer was dry I fixed it to the inside of the card with liquid glue and the project was complete.

PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Now I’ve shown you my pretty, but very simple card I really need get some sleep.  If I can manage on 5 hours sleep, that will give me 8 hours to complete the remaining 12 cards.  I have a feeling this one might go right down to the wire.

    This may be “simple” but only you or another card maker would know that … and when you have such beautiful products to work with, and you know what to do with them, could you get such results — a really lovely handmade card (custom envelope included). Cheering you on for the remaining hours! and “thanks!” for carrying on with this morning’s Blog … hope the coffee’s hot and fresh!

      Thank you Geraldine. No time to make coffee, but there was time to finish all 24 cards. Mind you it went right down to the last minute. Right now I’m feeling a sense of achievement, and a need to veg out in front of the telly.
