Kendra’s Card Challenge #21 – Card #7

Day #7 of 15 | Stretching 6 Sheets of Patterned Paper into 15 Cards

Welcome to Day #7 of my Kendra’s Card Challenge #21 series!

We are at the halfway point now and moving into the heart of the challenge. I am loving using the Snow Much Fun paper pad.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Catching up? Make sure to see how we handled the vibes of Card #6 before checking out today’s bright celebration card!

Card #7: Best Wishes, (Sketch 7)


This card is a fun example of winter-themed paper crafting. It balances soft lilacs and bold purples with a touch of magical illustration.

Design Layout & Style

I used a lavender card base with light lavender cardstock. The focal point is a watercolored stamp from Elizabeth Craft Designs against a background of stamped snowflakes and stars.

  • The Sentiment: A crisp white banner with the words "best wishes", popped up for dimension over the candle.

  • Geometric Contrast: The bottom-left corner is anchored by a diagonal collage of patterned paper including:

    • Bold purple and white stripes.

    • Multicolor snowflakes on a white background.

    • A soft lavender grid pattern.

    • Faint white stars on a cream base.

Crafting Detail

  • Fussy Cutting: The candle and banner have been precisely cut and adhered to the card face, using foam tape for a 3D effect.

  • Tone-on-Tone Stamping: The snowflakes on the background are stamped in a shade of purple just slightly darker than the cardstock, creating a subtle, textured look.

***Pro-Tip: Notice the small banner at the top right—it mirrors the patterns from the bottom corner, which is a great way to "tie" the composition together and lead the viewer's eye across the card.
