CAS(E) This Sketch 156

Hello!

Tonight my 8-year-old has her friend here for a sleepover. I'm not convinced I'll get a decent sleep. They're having fun. I'm hoping they'll wear themselves out, haha!

I'm here with my card for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge.

I used Stampin' Up! Wild About Flowers stamps. Colours are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Delicata Gold. Those flowers are glittering gold. :-)

Michele created this lovely sketch. :-)

I hope you're inspired to join us this week!

Thanks for visiting!

MUSE 149

Hello!

This morning I saw the loveliest crisp and bright card by Tracey over at MUSE Card Challenge, and I fell in love. So tonight I took a little bit of time to CASE Tracey's card and join in the fun!

My card:

I used Mama Elephant Party Kit and Wplus9 sentiments.

Tracey's Muse card:

Isn't it beautiful?! I took the colours of her flowers and the card layout as my inspiration. I would have copied completely if I could. ;-)

Thanks for dropping by!

CAS(E) This Sketch 155

Hello!

It's time for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge! When I first looked at the sketch, I thought of using two different patterned papers to create the two sides of the design but, when I sat down to make my card, those butterflies had other ideas!

I used Happy Little Stampers Butterfly Birthday and Wplus9 Whole Lotta Happy stamps.

I hope you're inspired to join us in the fun this week. The design team have created some beautiful cards to get your creativity sparked!

Thanks for dropping by!

Something new - butterflies!

Hello!

I received a brand new set of stamps in the mail last week, from Happy Little Stampers. I have to say, I experienced the most wonderful service! Happy Little Stampers is based in my little corner of the world here in Queensland, Australia, so postage was FAST. What a lovely change. After ordering most of my stamps from the USA and waiting many weeks for my orders, receiving an order in a couple of days was pure luxury! (Thanks, Kylie!) I ordered Butterfly Birthday stamps. I've been admiring these butterflies and decided I couldn't live without them. ;-)

This is the first card I made using these stamps. There are sure to be many to follow!

I'm entering this card into the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes challenge.
I'm also entering Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Something New (new stamps!).

Thanks for visiting!

CAS(E) This Sketch 154

Hello!

Welcome to our first CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge for 2016! We have a super sketch to start the year off and I hope you all join in the fun!

For my card I used Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamps to create a little flurry of butterflies.

Stamped in Tuxedo Black with some yellow sequins for a little colour.

I also made a second card while I was inspired by this awesome sketch using Waltzingmouse Fine Feathers and Altenew Label Love.

I could have kept going. I love this sketch!

Thanks for coming by to visit!

Fusion 2nd Anniversary Celebration

Hello!

Happy New Year!

Today we celebrate two years of Fusion Card Challenge! We've all invited some guest designers to join in the fun. The inspiration photo is gorgeous and the sketch is super. I just know you'll be inspired to join us with your own creation!

I used Altenew Wild Hibiscus and PTI Scripted and Teach & Inspire stamps to create my card.

The guest designer that I invited along is Michele Ferguson from I Card Everyone, who I admire greatly for her gorgeous CAS creations. Michele is a wonderful, fun, and friendly person, and I'm so glad I made friends with her!

Michele made two cards and because I couldn't choose just one, I had to share both!

Aren't they beautiful?!

I hope you join us in our 2nd year celebrations! Thanks for visiting!
