The Card Concept: December 2024

Welcome to The Card Concept !

For those of you who are new to our challenge, every month we will post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join us by creating a card for our challenge gallery.

If you would like to join us on Instagram, please follow us at our new IG acct- @thecardconceptchallenges2

Also, if you post on social media, please tag @thecardconceptchallenges2 and use the hashtag #tccxxx (xxx=challenge # for ex: this challenge would be #tcc212).

Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colors, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card?

Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge :-)

Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point.

At the end of the challenge, our Design Team will choose one Main Winner and at least three Honorable Mentions. We will announce the winners here on our challenge blog, as well as our Facebook page and our new Pinterest board.

Our Design Team shares the cardmaking style that they have chosen for their design as well as how they were inspired.

Please free to use any of the styles we have defined here, or create your own with a combination of styles. We want you to have fun with our inspiration!
