A simple stylish card for the CAS(E) This Sketch #306 challenge

CAS(E) This Sketch – Well Written

Posted on January 30, 2019January 30, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I love a good sketch challenge and today I am sharing a card made for the CAS(E) This Sketch #306 challenge.

Making the Card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I placed the panel half in the Lace Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. This folder gives such a gorgeous amount of dimension to the panel. Where the embossing finishes I added a piece of Real Red Cotton Ribbon using Sellotape to stick the ribbon to the back of the panel. I added the panel to a strip of Basic Black cardstock 5⅝” by 1½” to the left hand side of the embossed panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Taking some scrap Basic Black cardstock I ran it through the Big Shot with the ‘thanks’ from the Well Written framelit dies. I added a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to each layer and stacked them up to give the sentiment some dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive………I love this stuff.

I stamped some of the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set, stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. I coloured in the butterflies using the Real Red Blends combo and added some Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

The butterflies were added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the butterfly onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and glued it to the inside of the card and stamped the same butterfly on a Whisper White envelope.

Bloom by Bloom for the Inspire, Create Challenge #035

Another sketch challenge to play along with today, this time it is the turn of the Inspire. Create #035 challenge. I loved this sketch and knew right away that I wanted to use the stunning Bloom by Bloom stamp set.

Making the card

I began by die cutting the largest Stitched Circle using my Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I randomly stamped a variety of images from the Bloom by Bloom stamp set in Flirty Flaming, So Saffron, Mint Macaron and Blueberry Bushel inks. I began with the largest flower, then the leaves and finishing with the smallest flower.

I die cut a scalloped circle from Blueberry Bushel cardstock and added it to the stamped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added it to a Thick Whisper White card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock ⅜” wide and trimmed it down. I added it to the stamped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the sentiment from the Apron of Love stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink then stamped it again…….just because I could and added it onto the Flirty Flamingo strip.

I really felt the card needed a little something extra so stamped the smallest flower in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the card front itself and added some of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Mint Macaron to complete the card.

I am really happy with this card. I hope you like it.

Today I am sharing a card made using the Global Design Project #166 sketch challenge. I love a sketch challenge, it really makes you think about using what you have on your shelf in a different way.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2 ¾” and adhered it, offset, to a panel of Highland Heather cut to the same size. These glued panels were then taken to the Big Shot and had a part circle cut out using the Layering Circle dies.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and adhered a piece of Subtles dsp measuring 5⅝” by 3⅞”. I stamped the balloon string in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added the die cut panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a balloon to the negative die cut space using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The balloon was punched using the Balloon Bouquet Punch from Highland Heather cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the One Wild Ride stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by ⅜” and added it to a strip of Highland Heather cardstock measuring 2¾” by ½”. I then punched a Coastal Cabana strip using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and added it to the sentiment. I love those little scallops peeking out, so pretty.
