Card Style Mystery Blog Hop

Hi all and welcome to the Card Style Mystery Blog Hop!

Click on the image to purchase a copy for yourself!

I had the great privilege of getting to work on this issue and it was so fun really finding out what my card style was! The thing is I'm not sure I really thought about it before. I enjoy and appreciate all the different styles, but I definitely fall into two styles in particular. The obvious one for me is Fun & Cute. I mean I just love polka dots, gingham and fun punny sentiments, but I also realized that I have a knack for Clean & Graphic too. Bold colors and graphic designs are really attractive to me and I looooove my white space!

Here's a little somethin' that I came up with for today's hop...

White space, yup. Simple shapes and icons, check. No-frills text, you betcha. Clean & Graphic, absolutely!

Be sure to continue on with the hop, you wouldn't want to miss out on any inspiration!

So, what style are you?

Have fun and good luck!!

I love most styles but tend to gravitate towards the classy/elegant for my own creations. Sometimes, i dip my toe into the shabby vintage too i suppose. :-D

It's hard to say what style I am, but when I look at my cards, I guess I have more vintage and fun & cute in my stash.

Your card is lovely!

Stephanie Smith said...

I can't view the card for some reason, but I am sure that it is great.

Janet L. said...

Great card! I love the colors and details. I tend to lean toward classy/elegant with heavy touches of vintage.

scrappin' happy said...

Love clean and graphic, I'm just not good at it! Love shabby and vintage but don't add enough layers to make it feel like it's totally shabby.

Lisa Westphal said...

Love the rounded corner on your card. I wish I could pull-off clean and graphic....I always end up fun and cute with a tiny touch of shabby in the mix.
Great work! :)

Sandra

Lea L. said...

This is so cute, Heidi!! I love the big rounded corners on each layer!

I can't make a total decision on what my style is, because I think I fit three of them. So, we'll go with the fact that I am definitely NOT a shabby/vintage card maker. :)

Rachel Hope said...

OH!!!! Love love love the black sparkly hearts!

Anna said...

Very nice. This is definitely closer to my style than a lot of the other cards - although they're all amazing too! :) But for some reason I just can never be comfortable with that much white space - I always add and add and end up ruining perfectly nice cards! Great job!
