When Deepti mentioned that the theme was PATTERNED PAPER, I made a banner using papers from Avery Elle, along with their banner dies. I finished off the card with some tiny butterflies, also punched out of Avery Elle’s patterned papers, and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Thank you, Deepti, for having me as your guest designer for August!

And here is her beautiful card!

Instructions

1. Use a banner die (I used Avery Elle’s Dotted Elle-ments) or cut by hand some banner flags out of patterned paper.

2. Attach a piece of twine or cord across your card.

3. Attach banners to the cord, letting some overlap a bit.

4. Punch out small butterflies from patterned paper and attach them to the banners and card.

5. Tie two bows out of cord and attach them to the ends of the banner.

6. Stamp desired sentiment.

Wow!! How awesome is your card! Love those banners and cute little butterflies.. Thank you so much Donna for being our guest!!

Introducing Our New DT Member - Somdeepa Das

Hello dear friends! This is Deepti Stephens here introducing our one of the most talented girl,

SOMDEEPA DAS.. 'A Frugal Crafter'

I love her card making style a lot. SO trendy!

A little bit about Somdeepa

Hi everybody, this is Somdeepa Das here from Kolkata. I have just begun my college life and I am an Economics student of Jadavpur University, Kolkata.

I have been crafty since childhood but I have started blogging about it recently and am enthralled with the crafter's community in blogland. I love the CAS style of card making. As I own only some very basic craft supplies, I continually make do with stuff I find around me. Thus you will often find fake calligraphy in my cards instead of sentiment stamps! I try to create whatever captures my imagination but I enjoy making cards the most.

I am very proud to be a part of the wonderful DT here at Create Something Catchy Challenges. I look forward to a period of sharing and hopefully inspiring some of you with my creations!

And here is her card for the current challenge

Oh wow! Look how beautifully she arranged the pps.. Awesome!  <3 So glad to have you on the team!

Ok then.. see you soon guys! Take care.. :)

Introduction to the New DT - Shyla Shree

Hello friends!

This is Tanvi wishing you all a very good Saturday morning.

We have some very talented ladies joining our team & I take pleasure in introducing our newest teamie   - Shylaashree - the master quiller.

Welcome & congratulations!

Over to Shylaashree -

I am so excited to be a part of CSCC Design team! Thanks to you for giving me this opportunity.  

I am Shylaashree from Adhiraacreations, mother of two awesome kids and working as an Executive secretary in Titan Company Limited.

Ever since I was a little girl I have found great joy in creating cards, books, and 3-D projects with paper. During a period of ill health I found the art of quilling to be very therapeutic. Since then I have become totally hooked on to quilling. My core strength is jewellery designing (was a designer sometime for Tanishq & Goldplus) /making and wall decors.  I look forward to working with the other DT members. I feel that being part of this team will be a challenge and yet I hope that my work challenges those who participate.

We are so glad to have you on board ! And here is the inspiration for this months challenge -
