Trav's Card Style with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:} 

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I'm sharing a quick start-to-finish card with you!! This card and video are quick today because...

  1. Trav and I leave for a trip to Israel in less than 24 hours!!!!! HOOOOORAY:)
  2. I ran out of time!
  3. Trav kind of challenged me in our interview video (HERE)-- he said if I ever tried "his" card style/design than the video would be quick! That's exactly what I needed since I haven't even packed for our trip yet!!! LOL!  
So I tried Trav's Card Style-- also known as "Stamp Ribbon Done". I think this card turned out super cute.... but I want to add sooooooooo much more! LOL! 

I actually think that I might start a NEW feature here on the VS blog using Trav's Card Style as my inspiration/design! LOL! 

Here's the video:

What a darling card! I just love your videos - you always have a smile in your voice! I think you're on to something with "stamp, ribbon, done!" Hope you have a fabulous trip!

A+++ in following *almost* Trav's advice: you've stamped and 'ribboned' beautifully with this card, and the patterned paper edges and wee heart - we'll just call those special touch embellishments! Stunning card - and yes, it does deserve to be heading to a publication challenge! Love it x a zillion!! Enjoy your trip!! Hugs~c

Sav, this is SOOOO pretty!!! I LOVE it!! The gold embossing, accented by the gold thread is gorgeous! That's really all that was needed!! Trav must be right...ribbon, stamp, DONE!!!

Wow your hubby has a great crafty side...this is an awesome card. I love the diagonal strips on the bottom and the gold accents.

Samantha Mann said...

Oh Savannah, you're going to LOVE Israel! When I went in 2000, it felt like I was "home!" It was the strangest thing. The Bible just came alive to me and it will to you, too! Every stop we made I picked up something, like dirt, stones, and even water (Red Sea, Jordan river, Med Sea, Dead Se). I brought Ziploc baggies and small containers for the liquids.

Have a wonderful time!

Hugs,
Beth
