Can You Case It #61 - A Butterfly For You

Hello there,


It's Sunday evening here which means its time for the Can You Case It? challenge this week.  This week its a 10 minute card with an optional theme of St. Paddy's Day per the details below.  I opted to not go with the theme and instead used the Butterfly thinlit die for my card below.



The cardstock I've chosen for this one is Bermuda Bay, Basic Black and Whisper White.  Here's a closer look.



The only stamping in sight is actually the greeting from the Itty Bitty Banners set stamped with Bermuda Bay ink.  I've used the Dotted ribbon border punch as well for the black edge top and bottom under my Whisper White panel.  This card is so simple and yet so elegant and effective.  I've actually cut out two butterflies, one from the Whisper White Card and one from the Basic Black card and used the negative of the white with the Bermuda card showing beneath and placed the black one in the space.  I'm going to do another card in the reverse of this to show on my blog next time.

Thanks for stopping by to view my card for the Can You Case It? 10 minute challenge.  We hope you will play along with us this week.   Do stop by and see what our other designers have made to show you and enjoy what's left of 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.

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
