Today's card is inspired by the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge. I found this site a while back and immediately ordered some cute Paper Smooches stamps so I could play along, and I've been waiting for them to come in the mail. I decided I couldn't stand to wait any longer and I wanted to make a card (like NOW) so I decided to use some of their free digis. Thanks for the freebies! The challenge was to use a cool color scheme, and I used another great sketch from Retro Sketches. Halfway through making the card I realized that my flags were going to hang off the edge of my card. Must have been my subconscious saying I should play in the CAS-ual Fridays "Over the Edge" challenge this week too. Alright subsconcious, I will!
Anyone else have trouble with some cards just not wanting to stand up and be photographed? I have a question for all you crafty ladies out there. Can someone tell me what those little spiky round things that hold your card up are called? I want one and I'm not having any luck searching the web for "spikey round things that hold your card up" strange, right? I know you crafty pros will help!
Check out the fun at these awesome challenge sites:
Thanks for looking!
Look at you getting all crafty with THREE challenges! Super cute!
ReplyDeletePS...I don't know what the round spikey things are called either, but I to have a bag full of little easel stands if you would like a few.

OHHHH! This is amazing! I LOVE that the sun is holding the sentiment/flag! FUN! THANKS so much for joining in the fun and playing along with us over at the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge!!
ReplyDeleteps....that spiky thing is called a flower frog. You can get them super cheap on the internet. You can also use different adhesives to help your card stand straight--I used to use glue sticks/etc. and that would warp my card. I think your card looks like it's straight in your photo!
Thanks for kind words and the info! This one wasn't the one that was giving me trouble :)
DeleteGlad your subconscious said to join us at CAS-ual Fridays this week as your card is such fun!
