Wecraftcards Challenges

I am hosting the next challenge at the wecraftcards Forum that starts on June 1st and selected a game board theme, Scrabble. The requirement is to build a sentiment or word using alphabet tiles on a card, tag, gift bag, etc. I created two sample/inspiration cards.

For the first, a wedding card, I found a blog that offers freebie scrabble tiles that can be printed off by individual letters, in this case, “L”, “V” and “E”. The  “O” in the word love was created with a wedding ring (I used two circle punches and metallic gold cardstock plus a scrap of holographic sticker paper to create the diamond.)  The roses are from a Jolee sticker set that I’ve had in my stash for some time. (I was saving it for something special… and this card is it!)

 

 

Supplies: 

·    Scrabble Tiles- Freebies you can print off separately found HERE

·    Inside Sentiment- “Dreams come true.” We Are 3 Digital Sentiments (Dreams)

·    Rose Diecuts- Jolee's Boutique Themed Stickers-Red Roses

·    Assorted paper, metallic cardstock and holographic sticker paper from my stash

For the second, a birthday card, I found a blog that provides a full-page Scrabble Freebie (with duplicate tiles like the game.) The tiles were easily cut apart and used to create the “Happy Birthday” sentiment. I decorated them with gift packages, colored with stripes and dots, from a Beccy’s Place Digi set.

 

Supplies: 

·    Scrabble Tiles- Full page Freebie (with duplicate tiles like the game) you can print off found HERE

·    Present Digis- Beccy’s Place digi set (Celebrations)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Inside sentiment- Computer Generated

The current challenge at wecraftcards Forum requires that our card features one word that takes up most of the space on the card front. I didn't have a clue what to make... until I saw a box of Life cereal. It's lovely large and colorful letters just begged to be fussy-cut. Then I started looking through my files of digis and collected sayings looking for the word "Life." This is what I found.  (Sadly, I've had it in my files for many years and hadn't cited the source. I tried to find that now and although I found it on a few sites, none of them cited the original source. So... I'm sharing it in hopes that someone who sees it can provide that info. I do try to respect intellectual property whenever I can!) When I shared the finished card with my hubby he guffawed. (BTW- After my hubby guffawed, he said, "You know... you can have both. A hunky guy can bring you coffee!" I think he was referring to himself. Then I guffawed! He is so funny… but kinda cute, too!)

I am entering this card in a few other challenges including The Sisterhood of Crafters (One o of my favorite things to do is to add humor to my cards, using digis or sentiments that are humorous... or making my own sentiments, like this fun one!) 

 

Supplies: 

·    Lettering- Upcycled from LIFE Cereal box

·    Sentiments- Computer Generated (Original source unknown)

·    Inside digi- Freebie from Dearie Dolls (Old Percolator Coffee Pot)

·    Assorted background papers (including wallpaper samples), photo corners and rhinestones from my stash
