Can You Case It? Challenge # 54

Hello Everyone,

Its Sunday today and that means its time for another challenge at Can You Case It?.  Here are the challenge details this week, which is Designer's choice.


I've decided I would take this opportunity to showcase the card I made for my Mum's 70th Birthday.  As promised yesterday, I said I would share some more information about my Mum's birthday celebrations.  I have a few more photos to share with you at the end of this post.




We went out for lunch with the family yesterday and gave her this card even though her birthday is actually tomorrow (Monday 26th) here on Australia Day.  Its a long weekend, so she gets to celebrate even longer.  This is actually an Easel card I've made using Butterfly Basics, Papillon Potpourri and Memorable Moments stamp sets.



The cardstock is Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White and Brushed Gold.  I've used the Top Notes die to cut the Whisper White panels for both the front and the inside (picture below) and embossed the Brushed Gold background with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.




Butterflies from both Papillon Potpourri stamp set and Beautiful wings embosslits adorn the card on both the front panel and the inside.




Blendabilities have been used to colour the flowers on the card front.  Here's the photo of the front view of the Birthday Card.



The 70 stamped with the Memorable Moments stamp set has been punched and layered up with Scallop Circle and Decorative Label punches.

We hope you will come and join in this week's challenge at Can You Case It? and see what your other designers have made this week.  We would love to see your card this week.

Now, as promised here's a couple of personal photos.



Here's my Mum with her Birthday cake and the next pic here is the grand daughters.





More family photos of the table with my sisters and my brother in laws.




Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I would love to hear what you think of my card, so don't forget to leave me some comments while you're here.  Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
