Hello crafty stampers!

I’ve been feeling like I need a challenge. So I took a look at the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and I found what I needed on page 22! At the bottom of the page, there are 22 different card templates to help you to make a card! You can make them as simple as you like, or “doll them up” a little. So I’m challenging myself to make a card using each template to help me get started. Maybe you’d like to do join me? I will try to make two cards per week using two different templates ;-). I numbered all the templates so I could remember the ones I’ve already made.

Let’s start with #1:

Can you guess which suite collection this card uses? The Adventurous Sky on page 36 – 37. I really like this suite. There are several planes and matching dies of various sizes. I took a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through my Embossing Machine with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, took a sponge and a little Boho Blue ink, and gave it a little color. Then I took my Paper Snips and roughed up the edges of the paper to give it a vintage look.

Since this card is from my hubby’s birthday, and everyone will want to write a little greeting, I used two 4 x 5-1/4″ layers of Basic White, added some stamps and the plane. I stamped another tiny plane, cut it out with the die, and adhered it to the card front. I forgot to mention that the Designer Series Paper on the card front is from the same suite and it’s called Take to the Sky DSP. Added a little Linen Thread and called it a day!
