CASE Card from Training

Evening all…..late posting again today!  Having spent a small fortune at the garden centre yesterday I thought I’d best get my pots planted up so I’ve had a rather blustery evening in the garden.

But there is never a night where I won’t want to craft so I’m just settling down to work on some samples for a Bank Holiday craft fayre (check out my events page for details).  I might be up for some time yet! LOL!

In the meantime, I’ve CASE’d a card from Victoria's quarterly Training session.

It’s using the very beautiful Springtime Vintage papers, the Four Frames stamp set and of course one of the new square lattice embossing folder - all available in the Stampin’ Up Mini Catalogue (see my side bar to peruse ).  This colour combo features a lot in my card making too….Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze.

So I hope you like it….and I hope you’ll be able to come back and have a look at the samples I’m making for the Fayre.

Thanks for looking

Just CAS-ually Believe…

Morning All….oh…just missed it!!!  Well, it is another CAS-ual Sunday!  .

I was at Team Jelly training yesterday and met my lovely Team Jelly family and friends properly for the first time.  We had a good laugh and our upliner Victoria and Tracy did a great job in inspiring us…and entertaining us!  Great job, ladies!  It’s a fantastic day to be a Stampin’ Up demo!!  So…if you want any information about joining my team, check out my page above…or give me a call!

So today, I’ve made a card for three challenges. 

CAS-ual Fridays are in their second week and are looking for Buttons and Twine and Simply Stampin’ have a lovely sketch for us.  And finally, Clear it out Tuesday are looking for ribbon and trims.

 

And here it is:

I’ve used Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze and beautiful paper from Springtime Vintage designer papers. After embossing the crumb cake mat with dots, I’ve wrapped it with seam binding and added it to the card blank. 

To stamp the image (from Just Believe)….I experimented!  Firstly I stamped the image in Baja Breeze.  I then inked the stamp in crumb cake and used a cotton bud to wipe the ink off the flowers.  I then stamped the crumb cake image directly over the baja breeze image using my Stamp-a-ma-jiig to line it up perfectly.  It was easier than I thought it would be and I was very happy with the effect .

I wrapped this with linen twine and added a button from my stash.  I layered this on to the designer paper and then 3d’ed it on to the bottom left corner of the card.

These colours are just fabulous together!  Hope you like it!
