The Best Day Ever… – CAS(E) this Sketch #227

Hello Friends! I hope you are having a marvelous weekend! It’s hot here so I’m enjoying some air conditioning and quiet crafty time. There’s nothing better, right? I finally found a sketch perfect for this tall slender bloom from a new stamp from Stampin’ Up! called Flirty Flowers. This stamp set is so dainty and sweet that it made it to the very tip top of my must have list!

This set pairs SO well with these prints from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack. I almost passed on this DSP on my first order, I’m so glad I didn’t, it looks amazing!

Details:

  • Can you see the sparkle on the pretty flower? It dazzles and for once, the camera caught it! I’m SO excited!!
  • I used the same striped Sweet Sugarplum pattern that was used for the envelope liner to back the floral pattern, the main image and the sentiment rather than card stock. It just looked softer, somehow.
  • I stamped the matching image in the front of the envelope…it’s just THAT sweet!
  • The ribbons are amazing this year so I’m trying to feature them as much as I can. Here I’ve used the 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Sweet Sugarplum. It’s not stiff like grosgrain ribbons have been in the past, it’s very soft and flexible.

  • I used the smallest circle in the Layering Circles Framelits Dies for the sentiment and backed it with another circle punched with the 1 1/4″ punch in order to be consistent with the width of all the layers.
  • I can’t say enough about the Glimmer Enamel Dots. They are so very sparkly and can be used with so MANY colors. Just buy two packs!

  • The Soft Sayings Card Kit has a fantastic choice of sentiments! I love the classic font on this sentiment, it looks so nice against the stripes of the envelope liner!

Thank you to the talented designers of the CAS(E) this Sketch design team for another fun sketch!

See you next time!!

Crazy in Love – CAS(E) this Sketch & Fusion Card Challenges

Woo Hoo! Happy Monday to you, my friends!! It rained all day yesterday but that was a great excuse to stay home, play with paper and watch football!! My favorite team lost (sniff) but my second favorite team won, and so it continues next weekend!

While watching football I was also looking for challenges to participate in and found two…CAS(E) this Sketch and Fusion Card Challenge.

CTS_105 First Birthday

I decided to go with the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and then was inspired to incorporate pink into my card by the picture from Fusion. Then, still watching football, I skimmed through my 6×6 paper storage for pink paper and pulled out some stamps to ponder as well.

Finally, the creative juices were flowing and I abandoned football (sorry Payton) and got busy creating!!

What do you think?!? I fell in love with this paper! I tried adding a cardstock layer to it, but it didn’t seem to need any other color at all. I got completely lucky and found ink that matched the paper perfectly!! And the MISTI made stamping my eye chart a breeze…

Isn’t this stamp just too fun?? It’s called (strangely enough) Eye Charts and is by My Favorite Things.

I needed an embellishment to meet the requirements of the sketch and kept trying to add a cute little die cut of glasses, but it just wasn’t working for me. So instead of focusing on the eye chart, I focused on the sentiment and found this adorable matching heart and die set in the Locking Hearts Stamp & Die Set from Simon Says Stamp. They are perfect!! And too cute too…

I kept the inside simple with these hearts from the Countless Sayings II Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!. The set is retired but has some beautiful heart stamps in it!

And just because I’m sure you want to see it again…
