Here's some inspiration.
This month's fabulous colors can be used for any occasion. Are you in need of birthday cards or beach cards? Or stretch your creativity and use the colors for Halloween or Christmas cards! There's so many possibilities. Let's see what the DT dreamed up:
Amy Tollner uses the colors to design this festive birthday card. She creates blue balloons using the Bokeh Balloons stencil set and gives it scallop edging using the Frames & Flags die set. She then uses the Birthday Roundabout stamp and the Circle Frames die set for her focal element. At last she embosses her sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set. The overall effect is birthday cuteness!
Claire Lamb creates a super cute beach scene using Newton from the Newton's Sand Dollar stamp set. She then die cuts her oval using the Oval Frames die set and creates a fun beach for her feline to enjoy! Darling way to use the challenge colors!
Crystal Minkler was also inspired to create a birthday card with a coffee twist! She begins by creating a colorful background using the Plaid stencil set. She then stamps the coffee image from the Heartfelt Coffee stamp set and cut using the scallop-edging die from the Heart Frames die set. A super colorful coffee card!
Danni Bindel uses the darling image from the Newton's Birdhouse stamp set. (Don't you love how she colors her sweet kitty?) Then uses the Oval Frames die set to create her oval layers. She continues by using dies from the Frames & Flags die set with polka dotted papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad. Super sweet!
Debbie Owens was also inspired to create a birthday card. She chooses the duo from the Sky High Celebrations stamp set floating through a cloudy sky (Petite Clouds stencil). She cuts her cloudy sky with a stitched oval die the Oval Frames die set. For her four little panels, she pulls papers from the Birthday Party and the Love & Meows paper pads. At last she stamps her birthday sentiment using a stamp from the Birthday Oval stamp set. A super fun birthday card!
Don't forget you now have until August 1, 2025 to get
creative with the the challenge colors.
