Thrinchie Share

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I wanted to give everyone an extra day to win my blog candy. The entry for blog candy is now officially closed. I will be picking my winner shortly and will announce it tomorrow with my Diva Coffee Break Design Team share. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I will be putting together a tutorial soon.

Today's share is a thrinchie and then the thrinchie placed on a card. What is a thrinchie? A thrinchie is a 3 x 3 card often used like trading cards. I belong to a local scrapbook group that has monthly challenges (I've shared others in the past) and one month's challenge was to make a thrinchie for everyone. Well of course I'm about 3 months late, but this is what I created. And then of course I forgot them at home. Anyways, I used Vintage Vogue and the Very Vintage wheel. The colors are Concord Crush, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Whisper White.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the blog candy winner and the Diva Coffee Break Challenge.

I'm Back!

I'm back from convention and am exhausted! But it was well worth it. I have tons of new ideas and motivation to get my business going. So be on the look out for some new clubs that I will be introducing in the near future. But first, onto the long lost shares that I promised you last week. Here is one of the cards that I created for my general swaps. I used Concord Crush, Whisper White, and Crumb Cake. The stamp sets are Vintage Vogue and Very Vintage wheel.

I plan to continue to share more of the swaps that I swapped at convention everyday this week. So stayed tuned! And thanks for your patience

Last of the Purple

I made this card for a color swap. The requirements were to use Sahara Sand with any Rich Regal color. Whisper White or Very Vanilla could also be used, though I chose not too for this card. The layout is CASED and I originally wanted to step outside my box and use Bravo Burgandy (a color I very rarely use), but I found that I didn't have any ribbon or good embellishments to use with it. I played around with the layout some and came up with this, but I wasn't satisfied.

So along came my friend purple. I used Elegant Eggplant inside, I am much happier with the outcome!
 

Stamp sets used for both cards were Vintage Vogue and Very Vintage Wheel.

Over the Top Swap

Here is a card that I made for an Over the Top swap. The requirements were 5 layers (inside and out) and three embellishments. This is totally CASED again, with the addition of my embellishments and the inside. The picture is kind of blurry and I appologize for that. The stamps used were Vintage Vogue and Very Vintage wheel. Colors are Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, and Elegant Eggplant.

And now for the inside. Here it is picture upside down from how it was placed in the card, but right side up from the stamps perspective. I did go back and change the inside so the writting shows that right side up now.

Tomorrow is the last of my purple cards (at least for a while...)

Bold Bright Vintage Vogue

Here is a care I made for a Bold Brights swap. The requirements were to use Basic Black and a color from the Bold Brights color family (other neutral colors could be used too). The color I chose was Yoyo Yellow. I have to say that this is a color that I haven't used in a long time and don't usually use. The layout was CASED (as usual), so again if you're the original designer please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. I used Vintage Vogue, Very Vintage (jumbo wheel), and Whimsical Words (SAB) along with the Yoyo Yellow, Basic Black and Whisper White colors. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I also used the Perfect Details Embossing plate on the Whisper White cardstock.
