Can You Case It? #69 - Perfect Blend

Hello Everyone,

Happy Mother's Day.  I've had a wonderful day with my girls this morning which started with a pancake breakfast, some lovely gifts and then later in the morning we went for a drive to visit my parents.  Family time for Mother's Day.  I love it.

As it's Sunday its also  challenge time at canyoucaseit.com.  Thanks for joining me this week to check our our latest challenge at Can You Case It?  with the sketch below by Eva.



I've decided to use a Perfect blend stamp set on today's card.  It's a cute set which is on our retiring list and being a Coffee addict, I really like it and will be sorry to see it go.





I do have a coffee machine at home and enjoy making fresh coffee with real beans.  Love that aroma.  For my card I've used cardstock of  Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and some retired Primrose Pink.  I've also used a little primrose paper from a retired stack called Print Poetry.




I've used my envelope board to round some corners of the layers on this card too and I've only deviated from the original sketch by placing the banner on the opposite site.




For more inspiration, please visit Can You Case It?  and see what our other team members have made this week.  We hope you will join us.

    As a fellow coffee-addict, I LOVE your card! I also LOVE the Primrose. It's one of my favorite vintage colors and I have quite a stash! :)

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.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
