Happy Thursday and welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #141. N@Ali has created a fantastic sketch for us to try - clean and simple with tons of potential! Just take a peek at what the phenomenal DT has created!
I must admit that I have not made a card in over a week, which a some kinda record for me. Guess that other events have taken precedence, which has ushered my mojo out the door. BUT, not to worry - I've neatened up my crafting space, which will allow me to see what I have (yay! a few new goodies). Now.... if I could only find that brand new, spendy bone folder!!
Looking forward to seeing what you create for CTS #141!
Happy Thursday and welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #139! I'm gearing up for a nice long, warm and sunny weekend. BUT first, an amazing sketch from Leigh!
I so wanted to channel my inner Laura Bassen (who makes ink blending look SO easy!) and started with a masked shape, some pretty yellow TH ink and a few Altenew flowers. However, somehow this simple, one layer card got a tiny bit messy, which necessitated the addition of a few layers, and then the dies and embossing folders joined the fray. Anyway......
We hope that you'll find a bit of creative time and will join us at CTS#139!
I am SO very excited to be playing along with the lovely and oh-so-talented ladies at the 12 Kits of Occasions challenge! I've been invited by August's hostess-with-the most-est Michele Ferguson (my CAS(E) this Sketch teamie/online crafting bff!) to create along with the fabulous DT.
August's theme is A Spoon Full of Sugar.... with get well themed sentiments (a few penned by Michele herself!), beautiful Heidi Swapp papers, and a plethora of stamped images. As always, the kit contains many, many beautiful elements - all designed to create cards/projects conveying your heartfelt get well wishes.
Just take a peek at what the 12 Kits DesignTeam has created .... you'll be sure to be inspired!
Many thanks to Michele, and the rest of the 12 Kits of Occasions DT, for allowing me to join in this month!
P.S. - There was a 'secret ingredient" in this month's kit! Although I did not guess correctly, I did use those cute little cherries!
Here's a card for Papertrey Ink's SAF 2015: The Patterns Challenge. It's likely to be my favorite challenge, as I've discovered that my creative mind loves to work with sketches/patterns. And there are some bea-u-ti-ful, awe inspiring designs to choose from! I'm working with the Go-To Pattern #10 from Melissa Phillips and have used lots of lovely new PTI goodies in a pretty red/green color combination.
Whoo hoo.... it's time for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-A-Faire! I will try desperately to keep up with the challenges (although not in real time). Always SO fun to play along!
First up is the Bridal Challenge, which requires an all white creation, with the exception of a neutral ink. And.....I am already breaking rules as I've used some teeny, tiny gray pearls (clearly I am not a careful reader!). But dontcha just love all of that white? Lots and lots of beautiful, lovely, amazing examples in the gallery too!
Happy Thursday and welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #138! Chrissy's beautiful sketch is sure to inspire!
I'm loving all of the fabulous white space, the diagonal stripe, the few pops of color and a fantastic little 'Baby' die from L'il Inkers! Not too much stamping going on here. Yup..... all dies, pp and color. Oh, and a little baby love!
Make sure to carve out a little creative time and join in at CTS #138!
It's that time again, so prepare to be amazed by Papertrey's August Blog Hop Challenge (and gallery)! The lovely inspiration photo is full of vibrant color, which challenged me to incorporate those beautiful ombre hues and a bit of dimension/texture. Amazingly, this is a one layer card.....if you don't count the twine and/or button!
I was clearly inspired by Laurie Willison's card, and used the same layout with just a few alterations. I just love the oh-so-versatile Fall Florals stamps set!
Many thanks for visiting today, and enjoy the HOP!
