…CASE Study Challenge #24 (CSC24)

Happy Thursday, everyone!  Today’s card is for the CASE Study Challenge #24 over at the CASE Study Challenge Blog.  Here’s my new sample:

…based on this card:

I decided to use the layout from the original sample, but I changed the color palette and the stamps used.  I used “You’re A Hoot” from There She Goes, stamped the images in Black Ink,  and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.  I stamped off several of the smaller flower accent stamps onto the Kraft Cardstock base in Sahara Sand Ink, then added the smallest flower accent to the focal panel in the same color.  I gave the bodies of the owls a little sparkle by adding some Icicle Stickles, then cut them out, and popped them onto the focal panel with a few Dimensionals.  I added some Paper Piercing to the edges of the focal panel, then stamped the sentiments on Not Quite Navy Ink in the lower right-hand corner of the panel.  After adding some Rhinestones, a Punched Flower/Brad Combo, and more Dimensionals the card was complete.  So how did this one turn out?  :)

That’s it for me today!  Thanks for dropping by to see me, and be sure to stop by the CASE Study Challenge Blog to see the official rules and linking tools to play along.  I’ll see you all back here tomorrow with a special By LORi Designs’ Release Blog Hop, so until then…

…CASE Study Challenge #23 (CSC23)

Happy Thursday, everyone!  My boys finally went back to school on Tuesday after being home for over 4 weeks, so schedules are finally getting back to normal for everybody.  We were all about to go stir crazy!  LOL!  I haven’t really had any cardmaking mojo the last week or so, but I did get a chance to sit down and color some images that I’ve neglected over the last few months…and I’m showcasing one today!

Today’s card is for the CASE Study Challenge #23 over at the CASE Study Challenge Blog.  Here’s my new sample:

…based on this card:

I decided to use the layout from the original sample, but I changed the color palette and the stamps used.  I used the C.C. Designs’ image “Sugarplums Teddy Emma” from All That Scraps along with a sentiment from the “Bear Hugs” set by There She Goes.  I stamped the image in Black Ink and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers.  I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Olive Cardstock, then created a sentiment flag to scroll along the bottom of the image.  I cut out the focal panel using the Out Of The Box Technique with my Nesties and Big Shot, then paired the completed focal panel with some patterned papers from BasicGrey’s Pyrus paper pad along with some Rust, Olive, and White Cardstock.  I added some Faux Stitching along the edges of the largest patterned paper panel using a Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, and Chocolate Marker.  After adding some Ribbon, a Corduroy Button with Twine, and several Dimensionals the card was complete.  So how did this one turn out?  :)

…CASE Study Challenge #22 (CSC22)

Don’t Forget To Check Out My Stamp Sale HERE…Prices Have Been Reduced AGAIN!

Well…we’ve been enjoying all of this snow, but I think we’re quite over it now!  LOL!  The boys were supposed to go back to school on Monday, but they’ve been home for the last three days due to the inclement weather.  I think we’re all about stir crazy, and I think we’re all ready for them to be back at school!  Luckily, I’ve had a chance to work on some deep cleaning and purging, and I’ve even made a couple of cards to share with you over the next few days!

Today’s card is for the CASE Study Challenge #22 over at the CASE Study Challenge Blog.  Here’s my new sample:

…and it’s based on this card

I decided to use the layout from the original sample, but I changed the color palette and the stamps used.  I used “Love Birds” from There She Goes, stamped the image and sentiment in Black Ink and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers.  I stamped off the same image onto a scrap piece of paper, colored the heart, cut it out, then attached it to the original using Dimensionals.  I gave the heart a little sparkle by adding some Icicle Stickles to it, then paired the completed focal panel with some patterned papers from BasicGrey’s  Sugar Rush paper pad along with some Gray, Black, and Vanilla Cardstock from PTI.  I sponged the edges of the large gray paper panel, then punched on edge with the Spiral Punch.  I added some Stitching the plaid panel, then added some Paper Piercing to the polka-dotted panel along with a Scalloped Border.  After adding some Ribbon, Rhinestones, and more Dimensionals the card was complete.  So how did this one turn out?  :)

…I’m Being CASEd! (CSC21)

Don’t Forget To Check Out My Stamp Sale HERE…Prices Have Been Reduced AGAIN!

Yep…I’m being CASEd, and I’m even CASEing myself!  I was approached by Iwona Palamountain (Chupa) from the CASE Study Challenge Blog a couple of months ago to be the Guest Muse for her January challenges, and I jumped at the opportunity.  Each Thursday they will post an inspirational piece created by me, and will challenge you all to CASE it in some way.  Here’s my new sample:

…and it’s based on this card:

I decided to use the layout from the original sample, but I changed the color palette, the stamps used, and the sentiment placement.  I used “Wonderful Winter Wishes” from There She Goes, stamped the image in Black Ink and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. Instead of using grass for the image to stand on, I added some Chunky Crystal Crafty Sparkles from Our Craft Lounge instead.  I paired the completed focal panel with some patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket’s Pixie-Licious paper pad along with some White and Plum Pudding Cardstock from PTI.  I Paper Pierced and Distressed the edges of the large green patterned paper panel, then Stitched the crooked strips together before adding them the green panel.  After adding some Ribbon, Silver Pearls, and several Dimensionals the card was complete.  So did I do a good job CASEing myself?  :)
