CASE of the: Grey Dog

Finally, a crafty post! 

I've been running a monthly club for a while now but never seem to get the things we make posted - Time to put up or shut up!

I love being inspired by fellow consultants and the crafty world in general. It could be the colors, the design, the products, the theme ... Anything! 

CASE to me stands for Copy And Share Everything.  I have no problem giving credit where it's due.  Why re-invent the wheel? 

CASE of the: is, I am hoping, go to be a regular feature on my blog.  Stay tuned!

We did this card a while ago and I love the cuteness of it.

 

This card was lifted from the lovely and talented Vicki Wizniuk (of Wizard's Hangout) and you can find the original card HERE.

 

I did change a few things for the card, but for the most part it is exactly the same as Vicki's.

Treasure Life for charity

I made a set of cards for a charity ball that is occuring next month here in the city.  They have an auction and a couple of friends of mine attend and asked if our stamping group would be interested in making some cards to donate.

Of course we said, "Yes!"  I forgot to bring mine for show and tell on stamp club night but the card sets from the other girls were amazing!  Mine seem plain in comparison but that is the look I was going for.  :-)

I used the "Treasure Life" stamp set (it is soooo versatile!).  I have seen various versions of this card on different blogs so I really don't know who to give credit to.  I decided on different colors for each different sentiment, just to mix things up a little.

There are sparkles along the top edge of the black ones but didn't place the card properly to see them in the picture.  (I messed up on two of the black ones when drawing the borders on the card so had to embellish the ooopsies!)

I made a total of 20 cards, 4 of each color/sentiment with matching envelopes and I'm going to put them in two groups of 10.  Now I just have to make boxes to put them in!

February DT Projects ... I heart these girls!

For February's DT projects, I dug through my stash and gave the girls some papers that I've had a long while .... Do you remember the More To Adore paper packs?  If you don't, keep reading ... :-)

I also, since February is the month Valentine's Day falls into, gave them the challenge of making cards plus gave them the Petit Perks stamps set from the current Idea Book to use and this is what they came up with ...

Nikki is first this month ...

She made NINE cards plus a box to hold them all!  She took this challenge and really rolled with it.  Divine!

Is that not super cute?  The little pink bow really wows me.

Love how she hung a tag from her sheer ribbon that she threaded loosely through holes punched in the heart strip.

Love using stamps to create patterned paper. 

Ahhh ... inking and torn edges.  Distressing is my fave thing to do.  And she did both.  I heart this .. plus heat embossing the heart image.  :-)

More backgroung stamping ..

And again.  I am loving the fold-down corner on this one, as well.

Bling!  Works for me.  LOL  One of my fave border punches was used, too.  Nice!

What's not to love?  Seriously!  Hand made ribbon slider ... fun!

Loving how she used the photo turns to point in different directions on this.  Really ties the two hearts together. 

Did she run with this or what?  A wonderful addition to the blog as always.  :-)

Irma's turn ... !  Three awesome cards with techniques galore!

Aren't they pretty?  Keep reading!

Loving how she cut the patterned paper into small squares and did a patchwork quilt with them, stamping on the plain pink cardstock and them popping it with a cut-out stamped image.  Using a white gel pen to make the faux stitching really brings it all together.

Loving what she did with the ribbons on this one.  Really brings something else to the card.  :-)  Edge distressing the mats on the stamped images really works for me too!

Where do I start on this one!  Wowzers!  Edge distressing, a torn paper flower, fussy cutting and a scalloped card ... I'm on overload!  LOL  So many fun things on this one, I will let you stare and find it all.  :-)

These girls amaze me each and every month ... How about you?

Next month they will be playing with the Bliss paper packet and since March is the month for St. Patrick's Day, their challenge is to add GREEN to the papers as a pop color.  I am sure to be blown away again!



DT Creations for June 2010 - Irma

These girls rock it out of the park month after month!  This time around they were given papers and cardstock from the Splendor collection, and some brads from the Harvest Assortment, and one of the Petite Perks stamp sets from the current Idea Book.  :-)

Irma made these super cute cards with their goodies.  I gave them a little challenge to do some embossing this time around and she's embossed the polka dots on the HI. LOVE these. 

(ETA:  I missed it but she also dry embossed the edges of the cards and the little butterflies are all heat-embossed with Versamark and white embossing powder on Vellum...  Sorry, Irma!!!)
