One Layer Fall and Christmas Cards

Hello everybody, Heidi here, welcome to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog. We are currently having our Lawnscaping Challenge No. 114 "One Layer Cards", sponsored by Lawn Fawn. If you haven't enter it, you can do it HERE
To inspire you to participate, I had created couple of one layer cards, one for fall and one for Christmas. One layers cards are great for mailing, and also can be quickly made. So here are the cards that I made, I hope you'll enjoy them and enter this challenge, I can't wait to see all your creations

 For this card I sued the "into the woods" the leaves were from the "Happy harvest" and the banner from "bannerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I used a little bit of masking and I finished the card with some 4mm sequins. 

For this card I got inspired on a card that I made back in July, however it wasn't a one layer card nor a Christmas card, but the idea came from that card you can see the card here. For this card I used the "Baaah Humbug" stamp set, some masking, and some subtle ink blending. I used the stitched borders to emboss some decorative border along the left and bottom sides of the card, and finished with some sequins.

Masking is a great way to add dimensions to a one layer card. you can do a lot more complex masking, or you could make simple fast cards to send easily over the mail, the possibilities are endless. 

I hoped you enjoyed these cards and that you give them a try. I also hope that you enter the current Lawnscaping Challenge.

Have a wonderful week!

Our guest designer this month is the sweet and uber-talented Annette Witherspoon!

Hi everyone! My name is Annette Witherspoon and I am thrilled to be designing for the Lawnscaping Challenge this month!! I’ve been married to my husband John for nearly 10 years and I am a mommy to two precious kids who keep me on my toes. Before joining mommy world, I was a public relations professional for 10 years.

I am primarily a card maker who occasionally makes 3D and altered projects. I started dabbling in paper crafts shortly after receiving a handmade wedding card. I fell in love with the idea of creating one-of-a-kind cards made straight from the heart. Three years ago, I ramped up my crafting endeavors when I started my blog, www.aspoonfullofsugarcrafts.blogspot.com, which is a play on my real name. A is the first letter of my first name, and Spoon is the last half of my last name.

I currently design for A Jillian Vance Design and Eyelet Outlet. I have also designed for Love My Tapes, Stampendous, Pink by Design, Frosted Designs challenge blog and Joy’s Life. I also wrote for ScrapStreet Magazine, an online scrapbooking and papercrafting magazine. I am honored to have been published in Paper Crafts Magazine and Scrapstreet Magazine.

Here is her stunning card:
