I am so very pleased to be guest designing for As You See It Challenge #341! I only hope they love my card as much as I loved making it! It is my pleasure to invite you all to play along with me! Here is their prompt or 'recipe challenge' as they call it...
Now don't be intimidated - I'm betting many of you already use many of these elements on your cards! For me, the biggest challenge of the five was to use ribbon!
Thank goodness I still have a little bit in my stash!
Okay - are you ready? Here's my card!
I joined Spellbinders' Small Die club last year just to buy ONE set -
but guess who forgot to cancel it? OY! This little set arrived before I
remembered and I can't say I don't love it after all!
Let's see if I ticked all five 'ingredients' in their recipe:
Celebration: it seems like a birthday card, right? But MAYBE it's a BIRTH/New Baby card? Either way, it's celebrating something!
Heat Embossing: Gold embossing for my celebratory sentiment!
Ribbon: a silk seam-binding ribbon from years ago from Verve!
Die cuts: That is where that Birthday Bliss DOM from Spellbinders came in handy!
Pastel Colors: Wait. Can kraft card be considered a pastel? I think so - it IS pastel brown!
Ta Daaaaa! I did it! and even managed to find a pastel gingham and embossed
it with a VERY old SU! embossing folder - let's see if any of the AYSI designers
notice the SU! Subtle Texture on the clouds, shall we?
Thank you to Heather Cooper who represented her team and sent me really great direction with their invitation, too! I can't wait to see how the team completed this fun 'recipe!' Let's go - but don't forget to play along!

Congratulations, my talented friend and what a lovely card you made checking all those boxes! This is an adorable celebration card for a baby or a little girl!
Congratulations !!! they are super lucky to have such a talented guest and what a fab card you made. Love the texture on the clouds and that gorgeous embossing on the pastel gingham and yes in my book Kraft is pastel brown.

Oh so cute! Congrats on your GD gig, especially with this gingham/ribbon/sloth inspired card! I have done the same thing with a Unity subscription...oops! Anyway, lucky you to have received this fun little guy to share with us!
This fun little fella was worth your oops! Your card is darling, Michele. I'm smitten with the polka dotty clouds on the gingham! Congrats on guesting, you ticked all of those boxes!
Sweet, sweet card. That sloth is adorable. And I have you beat, I was in a whole year before it finally dawned on me to cancel the SB clubs!
This sloth character just cracks me up! You did good with the challenge, Michele, and congratulations on your guest spot! I love all the cuteness and the texture, and I can definitely see this as a new baby card!
I am with you... ribbon would be the hardest for me, unless it was a die cut bow perhaps lol. Love this cute little sloth/monkey and that gingham... sigh!
I'm so delighted that you are guest designing with us. This card is a real beauty. I love that it would work for many different celebrations. As to those textured clouds - I have never, and will never, part with the Subtle folder. I did think those outline clouds just might have been some very clever white heat embossing. And yes, Kraft is definitely pastel brown. :-)
Awwwwwww...what a sweet, SWEET card Michele and you definitely ticked off all the ingredients of their recipe!! And congratulations on your guest spot too! A winning card for sure...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
You had it all and used it in the cutest way, Michele. The clouds on pink gingham is so unexpected and really sets the tone for the entire card. I've never played in this challenge but I'm off to see it. As for ribbon, I have an entire box full of those little bits Ellen Hutson sent with orders. lol
This is delightful. Well done for fulfilling the brief so well. I find those things really hard. Congrats on your GD spot too xx
Michele, this card is the absolute sweetest!! That sloth is adorable, especially held aloft by the pastel balloons! And the pink gingham background is the definition of pastel! I love the vertical, embossed sentiment! You really nailed this challenge! Thanks for cooking up this recipe with the rest of us at As You See It Challenges!!
Congratulations on your guest designer gig! You did an outstanding job on the challenge! Using ribbonprobably would have stopped me in my tracks, but you forged ahead and ended up with a most darling card! Thanks for sharing. :)
You did a wonderful job as GD, Michele. I love the choices you made for all of the required elements. The card is adorable and can be used for a variety of celebratory occasions.
Congrats on your guest spot! This is a new-to-me challenge and I must say you did good! And that sloth is such a cutie! Might wait till he goes on sale.....
I knew you would produce something beautiful for our recipe challenge Michele and I am so not disappointed! Your cute critter hanging on balloons is adorable and I love the gingham overlaid with embossed clouds too. What a fabulous card - thanks for being our guest designer over at As you See It!
oh this is just so cute Michele! Great to have you guesting with us at AYSI
Congrats on that Guest Spot. I've been sporadic in my blog stalking lately so I'm late. I think I joined the SB club of the month last year to get THIS die set! LOL I can't pass up a sloth! I love all this soft pastel goodness surrounding that lazy slothy dude!
