Color Hues Challenge #123 - Pink and Green - Happy Holidays Tree and Special Inside Pop-Up

Hello,

December 1st already! How time flies!  Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #123 where our wonderful hostess, Tracey, invites us to create with hues of Pink and Green for this festive season. As an added bonus: the link will be open until Dec. 29th, giving you plenty of time to play along with us.

My card is one of several I made with Spellbinders’ Merry Moments kit. The front is simple, but the inside is where the magic happens. The pop-up design was inspired by a video from my talented friend, Karen, whose tutorial makes the mechanism surprisingly easy. Once that was built, I selected coordinating papers and ephemera from the kit, then added some extra pizzazz with an SB ornaments embossing folder for the inside panels. Since this card is meant to be displayed open, the message space lives on the back.

I can't wait to make a few more using this design. 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my talented teammates. then join us in the gallery with Pink and Green creations of your own.

The challenge will be open until December 29th to give you plenty of time to play along. 

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #80 - Box Card - Age Is Just A Number Box Card (Simply Stated Design)

Hello,

And suddenly it's December 1st! New month; new challenge. Welcome to AAA Birthday Card Challenge #80 where we're inviting you to create a BOX card or a SHADOW BOX card.  Something a little different in the design department, for sure!

We're delighted to have Sigrid joining us as our Guest Designer.

 

I chose an explosion box card for my first ever box card style; ohmyword! I'm smitten! I was  inspired by a clear, concise, easy-to-follow video tutorial created by my fellow Canadian friend, Karen, which you can find here. My papers and ephemera come from the Age Is Just A Number collection from my favourite Canadian company - Simply Stated Design

The box with the lid on...

and here's what happens when the lid is removed. The box has plenty of room to include a bag of candies, a small gift, a gift card...whatever fits into the 4" x 4" space.

I'm super happy with how this trial run went; I hope seeing it brings a smile to your face.

Plans are already in the works for another...and another...and another.

Please head over to the main blog to see wonderful creations from our Guest Designer and my talented teammates.

Plenty of time to join us, as the challenge runs until Dec. 31st.

See you in the gallery!

To all our AAA Birthday Card Challenge players: may have a most Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season!

Thank you for dropping by!
