January '16 and Trav's Card Style with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here today! I'm back to share a quick card that I created for the Paper Smooches January color challenge [HERE]. It also fits Trav's Card Style!!! I used washi tape for my 4 colors and to create a custom "patterned paper" to die cut my vases. SUPER easy! 

**Also- you might see a couple of bloopers in this video! LOL :)

Trav's Card Style (TCS) #5 with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here today:) We are on vacation again.... and so I'm sharing a SUPER QUICK card and video! 

I have to admit that this card was really quick to make... but that's because I was forced not to mess with it! We only had 10 hours left before leaving on vacation (8 of it sleeping)! I really needed something quick! So I wanted to give Trav's Card Style (TCS) another shot...

Sometimes I have good ideas, and sometimes I don't! LOL! I think if I add just a bit of thread and staples to this card... it would be better! LOL! 

Here's the video *****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching! THANKS!

And just in case you didn't see these other two videos... I've used some Paper Smooches stamps/dies with my Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks! LOOOOOOOVE these cards (probably because they have more detail! LOL!)!!!

{BLANK} with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today.... well.... I'm not sure how to explain this video! It's RANDOM!

I was inspired by my card from last week {HERE}... and pulled out more papers and calendar journaling cards to make another CAS card based on Trav's Card Style (TCS). However, I realized quickly that TCS was NOT going to work! LOL! 

In this video--- you will see just how much I think about my creations! CAS isn't simple for me because I think think THINK! 

Now the good news is that my card turned out AWESOME:)

Trav's Card Style #4 with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I'm giving Trav's Card Style (TCS) another shot! This is my 4th try! LOL! 

I did change his style a bit.... I went from "stamp, ribbon, done" to "stamp, embellish, done"! I know that I broke the rules, but I figured Trav wouldn't mind since this card is perfect for my Dad's birthday! LOL! 

Olsen also makes an appearance in this video-- oh my! He's sooooooo silly!

Trav's Card Style #2 (breaking the rules) with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:} 

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I'm sharing another quick start-to-finish card with you!! Since I'm still over in Israel, I needed something quick to make! Trav's Card Style is the perfect design for this quick video:) 

I have to be honest... I do NOT like Trav's Card Style-- it's sooooooooo boring! There's nothing to it! SOOOOO plain! So I kind of broke the rules (i.e. "stamp ribbon done") for this creation! LOL! 

Here's the video:

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:

Paper Smooches stamps: We Connect; Paper Smooches dies: Hearts
