The Card Concept Summer Challenge

 

It's time for another challenge at The Card Concept.

These two cards are for The Card Concept#228a and #228b here. This month we have two inspiration photos as the challenge is up thru August 31st.

And it's my last month on the Guest Design Team. It's been such an honor and so much fun to be creating with these talented ladies! Thanks for having me!!

So, this month I've decided to make a card for each of the inspiration photos.

I was inspired by the colors of the first photo, specifically the red, white and blue, thinking of a summer theme masculine birthday card to create a clean and layered card.

BBQ Master is the stamp set with some Cute as a Bug DSP.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: BBQ Master

Papers: White, Poppy Parade, Cute as a Bug DSP

Inks: Misty Moonlight and Poppy Parade

Accessories: BBQ Master dies, Everyday Arches dies, Dear Dots, Stampin dimensionals

For my second card I was inspired by the Christmas theme and the colors to create another clean and layered card.
This is a sneak peek of the Stitched Stocking bundle coming out in the July Exclusives. There's also a bit of the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Stitched Stocking
Papers: Basic Beige, Real Red, Peaceful Pine, 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP
Inks: Real Red and Peaceful Pine
Accessories: Stitched Stocking dies, Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, Stampin dimensionals
