52 Cards Challenge

Hi Susie, I must keep my eye out for it!

I swear to goodness the pink flower took all of a couple of minutes to make as I had my hot glue gun on and the pieces already die cut.

When i made my first couple I used Wendi Vecci tutorial here. Now I can remember it without having to refer to it. I use the Sizzix Flower Layers #5 die, but the flower which you can find on the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die is also a good one! I also like to add in a couple of extra petals, it's so fun to play with them. If you don't have either die I can send you some diecuts from white card so you can colour them yourself and have a go, just let me know!

We could do a trade Ang. You send some flowers and I'll send some Marianne die cuts.

Love the card with the matching flower.

Here's mine for week 18. I used Basic Grey lemonade,with yellow card stock, & plastic flowers.

That's such a pretty card.



Here's a simple little card using the green prompt. I could have put Get Well but decided to go with Just To Say, then I can use it for most occasions. I am trying out my MS punches and I really like this one. It actually looks better IRL - but then I would say that wouldn't I!

lovely card Phil, I do like the lemonade papers, so summery.

Suzie, you should share your card on the Daring Cardmakers, it fits their challenge perfectly

I see what you mean Ang about it being suitable for their challenge, just can't figure out how to upload the photo. Any tips would be welcome.

This week it was Green, Embossing and Get Well.
The paper I used was Rouge De Garance, Sweet Dreams, leaves and circle were cut on the Grand Calibur then embossed.

[Philthetog]

All your cards are lovely!!!

[lilliboy]

thank you, means so much to my confidence in cardmaking.

here is another catch up from wk 18.

changed the yellow for pink because this card was needed!!! lol. hence the delay in making it.

feel a little bit of a fraud with this one though as it's a design i've been doing since i started making cards 3/4yrs ago. I started making them but to be honest i'm a little bored of the design, however, my recipients disagree and when i tried to discontinue it i got cries of 'No!!!'
this is for a lovely friend who has a blue version too

[Susie.A]

I think it's lovely Lilli and I've just left you a message. You may get fed up making it but remember it's not the sort of card people receive by the minute.

I'm just doing a baby card in pink hoping that will be the colour prompt this week. Actually, I'm using up scraps at the moment or trying to.

I think most of us need a boost in confidence from time to time, well I know I certainly do. Maybe we are all bit too critical of our own work - I can find fault in everything I do - drives my husband nuts.

Hi Ladies,

I am afraid that it is with a heavy heart that I can no longer continue with the 52 Cards Challenge. I have posted an announcement on my blog.

Thank you all so much for embracing it and it has been a real joy to see so many beautiful cards.
