I have done it…made the deadline just in time for this week’s CASE Study Challenge. I think Mariana’s card is simply perfection.

Anyway here is my take on her card. I just loved it so much I cased the whole thing, just changing the butterfly for some flowers which is a digi stamp from Isabella’s sketchbook.

Supplies: Kraft cardstock, brown Bazzill cardstock, Hero Arts Flourish background stamp, VersaMark Watermark ink, Clear embossing powder, digi stamp “Sweetheart Flowers” (from Isabella’s Sketchbook), Kaisercraft Pearls, Kaisercraft “Thinking of You” rub-on, Foam dimensionals, copic markers, white cardstock, Fiskars scallop border punch.

Thanks for looking and I’d love to hear what you think.

Have a great day,

I have been planning my entry to the CASE Study #5 Challenge all week in my head and I only started working on it last night! However I have managed to pull something off, although what I was planning in my head bears little resemblance to the finished product! Why does this always happen?

Anyway, CASE Study has a new Muse for the month of September, another talented lady by the name of Mariana Grigsby. You should check out her blog. I fell in love with her card as soon as I saw it…this style of card making appeals to me.

For my card I used a similar layout to Mariana’s inspiration card, and I was also inspired by her embossed background. I loved her polka dot ribbon and even though it is small, I have also used some polka dot ribbon.

Supplies: Regal Craft White card (smooth horizontal fold), Bazzill cardstock (blue), Cuttlebug, Fleur de Lis embossing folder, White cardstock, Autumn Leaves Clear Flower stamp (sketch flower?), Small flower wood mounted stamp (no idea of the name or brand…I have had it since the beginning of time!!), Copic markers, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, VersaColor ‘Atlanta Blue’ ink, Kaisercraft textured clear stamp – Grid (stamping on small white background piece), Hero Arts Blossoms clear stamp set (stamping on vase), sponge dauber, Kaisercraft pearls, Pebbles Inc ‘Happy Birthday’ rub-on, yellow polka dot ribbon, green cardstock (for stems and leaves), thin white ribbon, 3D foam squares, corner chomper.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Hi there,

I have been once again playing around with this cute little Kaisercraft car stamp. As the saying goes – keep it simple, and this is what I have done! I borrowed the layout design from the Members Gallery (toomanycrayons) at the Two Peas in a Bucket website. I didn’t have a bunting stamp, so I made my own using scraps of coloured papers from my stash and then covering them with glossy accents. I used foam dots to raise up the car and give it some dimension. Glossy accents were used for the car windows as well.

Supplies: Regal Craft white card (textured), X-Press It white paper (for cars), copic markers, Memento Black Tuxedo Ink, Kaisercraft car stamp, Glossy Accents, foam dots, Kaisercraft ‘Happy Birthday’ rub-ons, scraps of patterned paper, black felt pen.

Really, really simple and it was quick an easy – gotta love that! Great for little boys birthdays!

Take care,
