Gift Card Holder CASEing the Blog Hop Design 13

January 27, 2018Leave a comment

Turns out I did not have to CASE Joyce Hall’s Blog Hop design. It was her trade card at our all demonstrator meeting. Plus, 2 other demonstrators (Robin Vought created the guitar card, not sure who was the other demo) used the same design but achieved different looks. Joyce’s card is the lavender design which you can see on her blog here.

Flip the flap to reveal the gift card holder. Use a circle punch to create the notch.

The base layer is 4.25 x 11 inches, scored at 5.5 inches. Score the flap as needed according to the size of the front design. Robin’s guitar design accommodates a slighter larger front design than the other 2 designs.

It was a great idea to share designs covering birthday, wedding and graduation as a gift card idea. I may have to CASE it yet for the February Card Buffet.

If you missed the full blog hop, you can hop along here.

I have 1 more CASE and it is the card in a box. I have ideas so stay tuned to see what I create!

Have a nice weekend!

With Sympathy CASEing the Blog Hop Design 12

January 22, 2018January 16, 2018Leave a comment

It is nice to have sympathy cards on hand. This time I decided to make a custom card in the recipient’s favorite color, pink. I tried to include as much pink as there was on the swath from the Painted with Love specialty designer series paper. The dsp is the layer between the whisper white and blushing bride cardstock. I used our new mini dimensionals to pop up the whisper white layer to add a little ommph. It was too flat looking without that ommph.

The blushing bride card base looked a little bare so I stamped crosses so the tips could be seen towards the edges of the card. The inside is stamped too so I just need to address and sign the card.

Supplies used…the satin ribbon is retired.

I hope my card helps with the transition time.

This card was CASED from fellow demonstrator Sandy Ward and her Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop entry. I was actually inspired by the inside of her card. You can see her design by clicking here. I helped coordinate this Blog Hop. If you missed it, you can hop along here.

More Than Chocolate CASEing the Blog Hop Design 11

January 19, 2018January 20, 20182 Comments

The word chocolate can be a noun or adjective. This chocolate is so luscious. The cake has chocolatey frosting. I love dark chocolate! Just a few ways the word can be used to convey meaning.

My More Than Chocolate hand stamped greeting card will make you want to seek out your nearest chocolatier shop. A local shop, Chocolate Caper, just opened a second location in my town. Their chocolate is luscious. Another favorite is Gail Ambrosius on Atwood Ave. I love Gail’s dark chocolate with caramel inside! Chocolaterian has yummy chocolatey frosting on their Badger Bites.

My card today was inspired Twila Davis’ Sale-A-Bration blog hop entry. See her star design here with the spiral inside. If you missed our hop with 15 stops, hop along here.

I had window sheets in stock and thought this material would make a good spiral base. So I used the largest circle framelit from the Layering Circles collection to cut a circle of window sheet. I used a paper snips to custom cut the spiral.

The stamped chocolate pieces helped with reducing the scrap pile so that is a bonus! Each mini chocolate is attached to the window sheet spiral with a glue dot. I used the 1 inch circle punch to punch whisper white. This circle was used to cover up the adhesive keeping the spiral attached to the inside of the card directly below the score line. I cleverly covered the glue dot attaching the other end of spiral to the top of the card with another stamped mini chocolate.

inside of the card…

outside of the card…The gold doilie just retired so hopefully you still have a few in your stash.

Supplies used…You can see my work surface which is a large desk blotter. I turn the calendar pages over after the month is done and use it to pre-clean my stamps before I clean them with my stampin scrub and stampin mist. If you have been following my CASEing series, you will see the doggie test run towards the bottom and then faint images from pre-cleaning stamps in the corners.

Our valentine designer series paper this year is Painted with Love Specialty. It features gold throughout the collection with melon mambo, rich razzleberry and peek-a-book peach combinations. A nice change from real red images.

Thanks for stamping with me today!
