75 Creative Card Challenges

I have a few cards published in the newly released 75 Creative Card Challenges from Paper Crafts magazine.  I even have a card on the cover!  (the little plaid dress card)



Of the six cards that I had picked up for this issue, I have chosen to share my favorite one with you today.  (You'll have to purchase a copy of the issue to see the rest.)  :)

I made this card for Challenge #12: Make Your Own Ruffle.  With lots of pins and a little bit of patience, I sewed ruffles into 1" wide satin ribbon and then adhered the ruffles to the card.  The striped paper and chipboard embellishments are from Crate Paper's Pretty Party collection.  My 6 y.o. daughter already looks forward to receiving this for her 7th birthday. :)

The rest of this issue is amazing and inspiring!  I love the cards for Challenge #38: Make an Embellishment with Twine.  There is everything from a miniature knit sweater to a lasso.  Brilliant designs, I tell ya!  I can't wait to try some of the other challenges for myself.  You can purchase a print copy or a digital copy HERE

Thanks for stopping by today!
