IC56 - ECard

kthaman · 12-29-2006, 07:22 PM

Inspiration Challenge 56 - Hallmark ECard - IC56

Well, let's prove we can do better than Hallmark

My sample -- Spell it Out Thank You card.

There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping!

REMINDER: Please put IC56 in the keywords box when you upload your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number) . If you have more than one keyword use a comma to separate them. Thanks!

Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Thank you.

rhondag · 12-29-2006, 07:26 PM

That is beautiful, but so far I have nothing worthy (of better than Hallmark) in mind....oh the pressure!

Thanks Karen!

pattyb · 12-29-2006, 07:26 PM

Yea!!! She did post a little early!

lacyquilter · 12-29-2006, 07:26 PM

Oh, how fun. Just thought I'd check on the challenge & it's here! Yay! Thanks, Karen.

sherristampsalot · 12-29-2006, 07:26 PM

Yay! It IS early...THANKS Karen!

jstarbright · 12-29-2006, 07:27 PM

Wow and Whoa ! That is quite something. The hardest part will be to make something original because I could sure have fun re-creating this one!

WonkaIsMyCat · 12-29-2006, 07:28 PM

yay...finally, you tease!! what a great challenge!!!

badmom66666 · 12-29-2006, 07:30 PM

THIS IS MY 3000th post, thought I would put it in a worthy thread, teheheee, going to go work on the challenge now

mestamps · 12-29-2006, 07:31 PM

So do we use the "friends" thumbnail as the inspiration, or can we use anything by Hallmark?

Can you tell I've never done the inspiration challenges?

Welcome!!

The thumbnail is the inspiration piece. You can be inspired by the block layout, the colors, or the 'things that make letters' concept. No rules - just fun

badmom66666 · 12-29-2006, 07:33 PM

okay, put a bow on yourself and hop in a box with all your future challenges and UPS away!

Hmmm....which are you wanting more...my wonderful company or a headstart on future challenges....actually, don't answer that, lol!!

jojot · 12-29-2006, 07:37 PM

Oh.....this could be 'challenging'.......will certainly give it a try........

bensarmom · 12-29-2006, 07:42 PM

Great challenge Karen, I'm gonna have to sleep on this one!

pattyb · 12-29-2006, 07:43 PM

Hmmm...I have a picture forming in my mind, now if I can just get it down on paper. Tonight I keep looking a DD's jammies going "that would make a neat card." She thinks I've totally lost it

Clothing is actually what got me started thinking we needed an inspiration challenge! Guess you'll have to make 2 cards

badmom66666 · 12-29-2006, 07:49 PM

Joni has been making cards from looking at clothing too, actually she is really good at that!

I want the company,

Honey, some would say you've lost it a LOOOONG time ago....

(but not me of course!!)

GramCandy · 12-29-2006, 10:01 PM

Don't have many stamps that work well for this one.

lacyquilter · 12-29-2006, 10:28 PM

Well, I certainly wasn't anticipating being able to double up on challenges here, but this worked perfectly with Jen's bonus challenge. However, I have wet stickles, so will have to wait til morning to upload.

gadget19 · 12-29-2006, 10:51 PM

I can't believe it's 1:45AM... I need pills for this!

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=103395

I should have cut the vellum to the size of the painted background, but it's too late to try again.

gadget19 · 12-29-2006, 11:01 PM

I guess now that I re-read your post, I didn't have to do the spell it out... my mind is fried.

DawnL · 12-30-2006, 03:10 AM

oh, man, making us 'think'...ouch! so far....I'm gettin nuthin....... maybe after coffee

Mothermark · 12-30-2006, 03:34 AM

Here is my little white lie.....

Clownmom · 12-30-2006, 04:00 AM

No words made with snow or leaves here. I took the blocks as my inspiration. Hope you like it.

clucker · 12-30-2006, 04:38 AM

I was inspired by the colors and the squares. I did add letters to the squares, but I wish I hadn't... It is VERY rare that I make a card with no layers, but here it is!

Grow Best Friend

Vicky Gould · 12-30-2006, 04:44 AM

Karen, your piece truly inspired me today . . . I've been thinking about this one for over a week and you brought it all together for me (and my minister)

ASK

Thanks for looking.

jstarbright · 12-30-2006, 06:57 AM

I love, love this card, but I really wanted to re-create the e-card exactly and will someday. Thanks much Karen for the inspiration !!

KristineB · 12-30-2006, 07:10 AM

Well, I guess everyone interprets these inspiration challenges differently! Some are taking just the 'hallmark' card inspiration, some are taking the alphabet letters, and some are trying to spell out a word or phrase using stamps other than alphabet stamps (I being the latter). However you interpret it, HAVE FUN with it!! I had a lot of fun. Here's Mine:
Princess Turtle
sorry i'm longwinded!!

have a great day

tashers · 12-30-2006, 08:23 AM

Here's mine. I think this is the first inspiration challenge I've ever participated in. I saw the inspiration piece and couldn't do anything else until I recreated my own take on it: Inspired!!

genescrapper · 12-30-2006, 09:37 AM

Thanks for the great inspiration, Karen!
I needed a Get Well card for my SIL and used the block layout and the colors as my inspiration:

Get Well Soon
