Travelling Card Blitz, Card #2

So this is definitely a new thing: I'm posting a card blitz post and I'm not home! In fact I am more than 10 hours away from home (by car), but I made sure to bring my Flying Unicorn Small Art, Big Passion and Mixed Passion kits with me in case I had the opportunity to get my craft on!

I had that chance today and here are my cards made!

This one is made based on the card sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch:

I do apologize in advance for the photos as they were taken in the hotel room with little lighting.

This is the outside of the card, based on the sketch above

Thanks so much for dropping by! Continue on to Card #1 or #3 from the Blitz, if you'd like; There are 3 cards that are part of this blitz!

Early December Card Making Blitz, Card #2

For those of you who drop by on a semi-regular basis, you may know the drill by now.

I find a sketch, make a card based on the sketch, and post the result. :)

This card is based on the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch!

My take on the sketch goes like this:

Card Making Blitz, Card #2

Just doing my due diligence of using up what came in my Studio Calico card kit this month. :)

This card was made for the challenge over at CAS(E) this Sketch #100.

The sketch looked like:

Clean, Simple with a Hint of Travel

This post is all about a card where the sketch comes from one place, while the theme comes from another.

I recently pulled out what's left of my very old and very coveted Prima Romance Novel collection. I decided I'm going to go through as much of it in as little time as possible, and so I'm getting the ball rolling!

This card is based on the sketch found on the CAS(E) challenge blog.

 This card is ALSO based on the theme found on the SSS Wednesday Challenge blog: Travel.

I used packaging from one of the embellishment packs for the background, and used some black soot distress ink to grunge it up lightly. It can't be a "clean" card if it's too much grunge!

Then I cut the hot air balloon from one of the journalling cards that you could have purchased as part of the collection, and I used some scraps to make the script styled banner next to the balloon.

The letters are the TH label letters, and I've realized that they are my go-to letters for almost any dark lettering these days. I've gone through two packs in just over a month I think. I'm hooked!

  

Thank you very much for taking the time to drop by today, and I hope to see you back again soon!

Clean and Simple Makes for Easy Card Making!

In trying to use up my Flying Unicorn September kit, and so this is a card that I made for the recent CAS(E) this Sketch challenge!

I fussy cut one of the smaller journalling cards from the kit in order to have the flowers in the vase as the side image to the sentiment.  I really like how simple this card was too make! I think the most time was spent fussy cutting the flowers! :P

Thanks for dropping by to check out my card!

A CAS(E) challenge entry!

Yep, another post with another card into yet another entry using, yet again, the Studio Calico card kit from this month!

This card is an entry into the CAS(E) card sketch challenge #88.

My version of the sketch goes like this!

I fussy cut the shapes from one of the papers, and adhered it to the black background paper so as to provide a pop of colour to the otherwise quite dark background. The sentiment is taken from a sheet in the paper pad with a white background, and I used it because I liked the contrast. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) all the time, everywhere!

Okay, I think I may have just found my favourite card sketch challenge!

While, I don't mean to say other challenges don't deserve recognition, this type of challenge is my favourite due to the challenge aiming to simplify card making.

Once again, not putting down other styles of cards at all but sometimes you just want to create something simple, functional and still nice looking. :)

So without further ado, here is the sketch from the CAS(E) this sketch challenge!

(Yes, I know it was a fusion style challenge, but I went with the sketch only).

And here is my take on the sketch!

Perfect style of card for mailing without added postage! I feel like I could make tons of these and really start to get use of my stamps once my sentiment stickers run out (if that's even possible??).

Thanks for dropping by!!
