Let me show you how the card making color choice you make reflects the emotion and how a simple change of color can change the entire vibe of a handmade card. The project I have for you today shows you how you can take one simple card layout, and just change the colors.

I use the same stamps and measurements for each of these cards and just change the ink and cardstock color. It can make a big difference as to the emotion one gets when looking at the card.

Each month I try to have different types of challenges for my team to participate in. This time I thought I would share some of the great cards that they created when I gave them this card making challenge.

Everyone was given EXACT sizes of cardstock and Designer Series Paper to cut. They could use any colors/paper, but they had to cut exactly per the diagram for this card making challenge. Here is the diagram that I gave them.
