Can You Case It? Challenge #67 - Mother's Day Easel Card

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another Can You Case It?  Challenge.  This week is our Mother's Day edition.




I wanted to make an Easel card today and because its for Mother's day it just had to be floral.  Do you know what goes well with flowers?  Yes Butterflies, lol.  Come and have a look.




I've used the Top Notes die for cutting this shaped Easel card and the Label Framelits for the inner frame combined with the Printed Blooms Designer paper.



The cardstock used is Pool Party, Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and Vellum which sits under the label frame to soften the patterns where the greeting has been positioned.  The tiny butterflies were cut with the Beautiful Wings die and the larger one is stamped from the Papillon Potpourri set.



The above pic is a closeup.  The sentiments comes from a vintage stamp set called Wonderful Mother.  I held onto this one because the greeting is such a nice size to work with and a beautiful font.




Punches have been used layered up as an anchor for the easel card.  Thanks so much for stopping by today to view my card.  We hope you will play along 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
