You Bake My Day Card

In honor of the 52nd edition of my Make It Monday, I’m sharing this You Bake My Day Card. It uses the first card pattern that I shared with you for my Make It Mondays.

CTMH Originals Cubes & Colors Card Pattern

While the pattern is the same, the look of the cards (today’s versus the Moose Card I created a year ago) is slightly different. In the version I created a year ago, I added in a couple of extra layers. Adding an extra layer behind a piece is an easy way to add some more definition to your project. It’s also a great way to tie in some additional colors, too.

CTMH Eat Play Love Cardmaking Workshop Kit

Today’s card features the *NEW* Eat Play Love Paper Cardmaking Workshop Kit. The sentiment I used from this stamp set is such a cute pun. Plus, the card was perfect to make for yesterday–Pi Day!

The Eat Play Love Paper Collection has a very vintage feel to it. So it only made sense for me to distress elements of my card. If you look closely, you’ll see I used 2 of the techniques I shared last week that can be achieved with Close To My Heart’s White-Core Cardstock. First, I sanded the Light Candy Apple Cardstock. Secondly, I Scissor Distressed the small accent squares. Both add a nice vintage, distressed feel to the card.

I started sharing these card & layout patterns as well as color challenges in a way to help us all be challenged and stay creative during these uncertain times of the pandemic. Have they helped inspire you each week? I hope so! It’s especially fun to re-use the patterns and achieve different looks like with today’s You Bake My Day Card.
