Allsorts Challenge ~ Monochrome

It's my turn to choose the theme for the Allsorts Challenge.  I've chosen 'Monochrome', so I would love to see your cards using black and white or shades of one colour.  As always there is also the option of Anything Goes.

I saw this style of card demonstrated on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page, I'm not sure if it has a name.  The front middle panel lifts up to reveal the message. The papers are from The Range.  

I die cut a Memory Box 'Chloe Stem' flower and attached to the front panel.  The layered sentiment is attached with foam pads.

This is the back of the card.

 This card was much more simple to make.  I saw the instructions for making it on Di's blog HERE.
The patterned paper is from The Range.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Monarch'.  I hand cut a mat for the sentiment and raised it up on foam pads.

An advantage of making this style of card is that with the leftover pieces of patterned paper, you can make a second card.


There are two prizes for the Allsorts Challenge, a A5 stamp set and an A6 stamp and stencil.

There will be a very special challenge for our 17th Birthday on 23rd June, so be sure to mark the date in your diary.

  4. Your fancy fold card is great and not a style I've come across. The second design (2 of them) is a great way of using patterned paper and getting two cards for one idea.

  11. Such a striking fancy fold in your zig zag design, and the bold flowers with the decorative die cut circle create a beautiful focal point while the rich colors and clean lines keep the entire card looking polished and confident in its structure.

  20. Two great shaped card designs Liz and such pretty papers on each with the greens and then the purples on the second. I love the leafy dps and the added white die cut flower goes brilliantly on the first, and the shapes of the pieces on the second work perfectly as you can make two cards by using the leftover pieces..a wonderful twofer. x
