Blog Spotting: Banners

March 30th, 2010

72 comments

I’ve been reading a lot of your blogs over many months and frequently see themes in the cards posted. It is so fun for me to see the different styles of designers using the same theme. Not only is it inspiring, but it’s also motivating. I always want to break out my supplies and create a card that is uniquely me.

I’d like to introduce you to a new feature on the CARDS blog: Blog Spottings! I will be on the look-out for themes in your cards and will post a few that I find inspiring. This week, I am seeing banners everywhere. (Not surprising. They are darling!) I was delighted when I came across the following four cards. They all have a completely different feel and design.

Kelly created this amazing card using her new Petite Florals stamp set. The brightly colored flowers paired with the solid yellow banner make this card oh-so-sweet.

Ashley‘s muted colors are peaceful; a perfect way to accompany a hot-air balloon stamp, don’t you think? I love that she used twine to stitch the banner together. Such a beautiful card!

Tiffany inspires me with her collage-like banner card. I love the bold colors and the geometric shapes. This card definitely stands out!

Lovely cards, ladies! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Feel free to add the “Blog Spotted” badge to your blog.

I’d love to “Blog Spot” you! Please leave a link to your blog in the comments and I’ll be sure to check out your creations in the future!

I am a crafter. I love creating in all forms: jewelry-making, needlework, book-binding, sewing, etc. However, my passion is paper crafting.

I am a graphic designer for CARDS magazine. I feel so lucky to work in an industry I love, doing something I am passionate about. When I am not designing the magazine or playing with my three cute kids, you can usually find me with a stamp nearby and paper in hand.

I don’t know why, but I have never checked out your blog! Oh, the shame! And I call myself a crafter! I had a subscription to your mag at one point, but wasn’t able to renew it. I am super excited about the pay as you go option though! Can’t wait! I asked for a partial subscription that way from my hubby for Mother’s Day! . Love love love the blog and the mag!!!! I’d love for you to check out my blog: scrapperspot.blogspot.com
