CASE an STB designer

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara wants us to CASE one of the design team's cards for this challenge.


of course you can always play along with the anything birthday option too.



I had plenty of cards I'd love to CASE but ended up choosing this card by Jules from our sparkle and shine challenge. I loved the vertical sentiment and the oriental feel. I also loved the spatters but was too chicken to try that here lol!

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge. Our party guest and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Allsorts, anything goes option




Supplies: 
Sizzix ikebana dies; sentiment sticker; a leftover scrap of gilded card for the pot; Crafts 4 u stitched rectangle die.

Feel better soon!

 


Hi everyone, I bought this Funky Fossil stencil ages ago and decided it was time to give it a go!
I've spread crackle mousse through the stencil, then when it was dry spritzed it with distress spray stains.

When that was dry I outlined the mummy with a fine black sharpie!

The challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday is stencil it.
Krafty Chicks has a CAS theme

Since it's the stencil's first use I'm also popping into Darnell's NBUS challenge



Supplies:
Funky Fossil mummy stencil; Nuvo crackle mousse ivory coast; distrsss spray stains; unknown sentiment stamp (as I've lost the packet!); versafine clair nocturne ink & clear ep.

It's a numbers game CASE!

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini has chosen the theme this fortnight...many of something.

Or, play along with our anything goes birthday option.
Our party guest and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so hope to see you in the gallery.

I needed a card for a 30 year old male and had seen something similar to this design a long time ago on pinterest.
 I remembered tumbling numbers, pink and black! I couldn't find the original post to link here, but thankyou to the cardmaker for such a cool design!

I've changed it up a bit to suit a male. The tumbling numbers are diecut into the black, showing the white insert. While the blue numbers are stacked on top of the black.

Supplies:
Kaisercraft numbers die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; sentiment sticker.

Tartan at Christmas

 


Hi everyone, I've been stocking up on designer paper pads lately!
Thought it was time to try and use some of them, so I've made a few tartan themed cards for Christmas!

The die is new to me and it's quite large. I've layered it up for dimension. Love the gold foil card with these colours, lots of christmassy shine! The holly dots are cut from pearlized card too.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
Allsorts, sparkle and shine
