2023 - 3rd AND 4th Quarter SHARE YOUR CARD CREATIONS HERE

Here is a set of six autumn cards using Club Scrap's papers and their Z-fold formula:



I'm also working on a Christmas set and was about to start another when I realized I probably need to step away from the Z-fold for a bit!

Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card. I bought some faux alcohol ink patterned paper from Amazon.  It's not too shabby.

Beautiful card pinklady.

Samples of each set I made at my retreat and the view out the window of our conference/crafting room:



Two Christmas sets of my first fun-fold (which I've learned is also called a "V-W" fold) CARDtober challenge:


My set for Gramma's double-fold challenge:


A quick stack, slice, shuffle set:


My November SLoC:


A set of five (should have been six but I had a cutting oopsy) A2s I did using my variation on Crafty Al's mini-slimline from my first CARDtober challenge:


A set of six that are similar to those above. I saw this one with the label on the circle with the two matching panels' positions reversed (skinny on the left, fat on the right), but I was sure at first which cards were getting the banners with ephemera and which would be getting the circles with labels, so they all have the same orientation:


So, there you have it: about two days 31 cards.

Great work! I really like the double fold. I've done a variation on that but I think I like your style better. Love the sheetloads too. They're all really lovely cards and it looks like you got a lot of work done! Hope you had a fun time.

Thanks!

Gramma's cards were 4x6 and Grammadee's were 5x7. I only got one A2 base per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, but I got two cards out of two coordinating 6x6s. I can post or message you the cutting/scoring plan I came up with.

OK. This evening I will. Here? Another thread -- the CARDtober one? PM?

Two more sets i cut and stamped most of in Maine, assembled this morning:





I think they meet gramma's layered set challenge.

Cards I made for the Halloween/Fall card swap.

Today, I finished a set of 10 cards from 6 6x6 sheets of patterned paper. It was supposed to be 11, but the 11th was a woven pattern of 4 strips from the PP. It looked very fiddly and I think I now officially have made TOO MANY WINTER/HOLIDAY CARDS, so I used the strips on the insides, along with some of the smaller ephemera pieces:



I also made four (a half sheet load) of Hanukah cards, which I need to remember to photograph so I can share them later.

Today's cards:



The swan is for one of azcrafty 's vellum challenges. Like many of my bird cards, it was inspired by the nature around me. There's a pond on my commute, right in the spot traffic often backs up. Sometimes there are a dozen or more swans, sometimes only a couple or a few, other times none (WHERE do they go?). Anyway, one morning not too long ago there was a single swan and fog wafting above the surface of the water. I don't think I captured it that well, but it's better than horrible and I'm glad I persevered when I almost gave up and tossed it.

The birthday card is for DH whose birthday is the 2nd. We are hosting 16 guests Thursday (smaller than usual for us), so I'm always worried I'm going to run out of time to make his card.

I have exactly one TE holiday product, an embossing folder. I should really make four cards with it for my TE group, but I kind of want to put ALL THE CHRISTMAS THINGS away and be done until next year.

Grumble and groan...just realized most of my fancy cards from events don't have "innies" yet, so no packing it all for me today....

Another set of cards. Two more and I am at 50 for the swap!

Two more flat thank you notes for the kid:

My mom thinks gift cards are tacky (despite having requested and appreciated them herself at times), but couldn't think of anything else to get the friend picking her up at the airport when she gets home. Told her I'd make her a gift card holder for it:
