June Card Challenge - That's Crafty

We really hope you are enjoyng our new card challenges - why not post a comment and say "Hello"?

June's challenge has been set by Laura from That's Crafty.

Laura said:

 We are a small family run online business, established in 2005 and we sell a wide range of cardmaking & papercraft supplies and a large range of stamps. I’ve been crafting for a number of years and love all things Tim Holtz at the moment! The card I made used: Crafty Individuals stamp CI296, Catslife Press Unmounted Stamp - Happy Birthday Seal - 653F. Both the backgrounds were coloured using Tim Holtz Distress Stains and were then triple embossed with clear UTEE. The background of the card is the Kaisercraft Clear Stamp - Grunge and stamped with a Big Ranger Big and Juicy Ink Pad and there is silver leaf along the edge of the card.

This is the sketch to follow this month.

For the summer month of June we have chosen to scraplift this layout by the talented Cindy Tobey.

Cindy says: "Hi! I'm Cindy Tobey, a graphic designer, turned stay-at-home-mom, turned paper craft designer. Creating art has been a huge part of my life since I was a child and I feel so blessed to be able to do everyday what I love so much. I'm currently a contributing writer for Creating Keepsakes magazine and a design team member for American Crafts. When I'm not creating something with paper, paint, fabric, beads, or fiber, you can find me playing with my kids, taking photos, reading a novel, or in the middle of a reorganization project around the house. I live in West Michigan with my husband, Allan, daughter, Moya and son, Elijah."

Our sketch for June.

We hope you will be inspired by Cindy's layout and the work of the design team below.
