Hello, everyone! This is my first blog post of 2024, so I would like to wish you a Happy New Year, and I hope 2024 is going well for you so far.
I am delighted to announce that I was invited to be a Guest Designer at Carlin's Card Paradise for their January Challenge, where the theme is Hearts plus Special Card Shape. I hope you will head over to Carlin's Card Paradise and join the challenge. There is a prize to be won, and the sponsor is Beccy's Place. Three entries are permitted.
I decided to make a Diagonal Z-Fold card featuring lots of kitties and lots of hearts! You can find a tutorial on this card shape at Beccy's Place - A-Z Card Folds.
I decorated all six panels of the card and had a lot of fun colouring the kitties with my markers. I added some accents with a white paint marker and fussy-cut the images. The stamps are from Sunny Studio Stamps, called Meow and Furever. This is my first time using these stamps, and they are so cute! I used all but one of the images, along with several of the sentiments included in the set.
The patterned paper, glittered cardstock embellishments, and chipboard pieces are from a very old MAMBI (Me and My Big Ideas) scrapbooking kit, and I added some of my heart-themed die-cuts and punched bows. There are too many brands to list, but if you have any questions, please ask. I do remember the small heart border die (cut from pale pink cardstock) is from Die-Versions.
Here is how the card looks laying flat:
Below is the other side of the card; the panel on the far right has space to write a greeting:
Thank you to Karin at Carlin's Card Paradise for inviting me to be your Guest Designer! I had fun!
