3 challenges inspired today's card...
As You See It Challenge // #AYSI343 ...A "speed" challenge using punches!! I used a retired acorn builder punch and a banner punch from Stampin Up!! I finished my card in well under 10 minutes...6.5 minutes to be exact.
Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC188 ...A theme challenge!! MASCULINE is the theme for this current challenge. I make "thank you" cards for my pastor so that he has a stash for sending out. I always try to keep the ones for him a bit more masculine.
Can You Handle The Pressure // 08MAR25 ...An embossing challenge!! They always offer an optional twist but I did not use their St. Patrick's Day twist this time. I love this embossing folder...it was one of my very first folders.
Update: This acorn card was given an "honorable mention" over at the As You See It blog. Thanks to the design team for the shout out on my card!!
Very pretty and yes, it is a great folder, one that I own too!

You are very well organised to get this one in at such a great time! The folder is super and the acorn a sweet addition. I like those little banners tucked in at the bottom too. All in all, a lovely creation. Thanks for sharing with us again at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of papers, Deb, and I love that embossing folder. Those little banners tucked in at the bottom add a perfect finishing touch! Super job! Thanks for braving the adrenaline rush at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteFun card! Your little acorn is adorable! Thanks for sharing at Inspire.Create!
ReplyDeleteYour use of punches and embossing adds such a creative touch to this card. The acorn is an especially delightful detail that gives the design a unique charm, and the banners at the bottom bring everything together perfectly. It's impressive that you completed this card in just 6.5 minutes—your speed and precision are truly admirable.
