Injoy Stampin Handmade Cards/Mini Albums

Magazine Commissions; Day 1 of 6

Hello there Lovelies,

Today, I’m going to start posting the cards that I created for the August 2011 (#94) issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine.  I’ll break them up over the next couple of days so I don’t have one long, heavy post.

First, it’s kind of a funny story…well in a dry sort of way.  When the magazine contacted me and asked me to create the 6 cards for this issue we were in the midst of packing our things up to put them in storage for our summer trip to the States.  After a couple of days, I let them know that I could do it.    In the rush of things, I neglected to notice one detail:  I was to use very specific Letraset Promarker colours.  The colours they are giving away as subscription gifts.  So, I got the cards finished only to notice that I was to use the specific sets.  Bummer!  So, I started the cards again (just the 3 for the Subs Gift) and then sent them off.
I thought that since I’ve not shared the “goofed” cards with you that each day I would post the “wrong card” as well as the corrected one.    I found the corrected ones to be quite a challenge for me as they are not colours that I would have normally selected, but it’s good to push the boundaries of what we typically like isn’t it?!?

All that to say,  here is the first card of the six…

Since I created the wrong colour card first, I’ll share that first…

This is the “correct” Letraset Promarker coloured card that is in the magazine…

The stamp that I used is the “To the One I Love” stamp by I Brake for Stamps.  I used this card HERE  and HERE back in January and February as a Valentine’s Day card and a tag.  I love  it and it is SO cute!  Can you tell that I love this stamp!  Makes a great anniversary card as well!  Take a peek at my other samples and if you like it as much as I do, you can pop over to the IBFS website and even save 10% by using my discount (SAVE10ROBYN).

I’ll be back tomorrow with card #2.  Thank you SO much stopping by today and for all of the nice comments that you left for me the other day;  I truly appreciate it.  You brighten my day. (((hugs)))
