CFC 49 – One More Try
April 25, 2012
I’m going to try again for CAS-ual Friday Challenge‘s sketch. So close to being a one layer card, but I just had to pop up a hat with some dimensionals. I think I’ve cut over 20 hats already. Definitely wish I had a die cut for this.
A close up of the card – Any one layer (or almost one layer) card just calls for embossing 🙂
Used:Â Papertrey Ink (White cardstock, Orange Zest ink, Harvest Gold ink, Smokey Shadow Ink, For the Graduate stamp set) | Jenni Bowlin (Chicken Feed ink) | Stampin’ Up (Summer Sun ink, dimensionals)
CFC 48 – Blues & Oranges
April 18, 2012
Adding another challenge entry to CAS-ual Friday with some blue & orange. Originally, I had intended it to be a single layer card again, but the Jenni Bowlin ink just didn’t like me and I had a huge water-y puddle on my orange hats. So I cut a few hats out popped them up with dimensionals and hope it covers all the bad stamping.
**Sigh, the blue is so crisp and sharp… but the orange just won’t cooperate =(

CFC 48 – Opposites
April 14, 2012
So CAS-ual Friday is challenging us to use opposite colors this week. I’ve been using purple and yellow especially because Stampin’ Up has this wonderful purple ink  ♥  A super simple card that I originally had it to be one layered, but I guess when you’re throwing hats up like this, it gives it a bit more dimension with the hats popped up.
I used two rinestones for the two hats, a purple one and a dark yellow one to give it a little bling.

Graduate’s Dreams

Thank you Deborah from PTI PTB for this wonderful stamp set, just in time for Graduation season! I made another graduation card with the new stamp set and this time, cleaner and simpler than previous cards. Â The focal image is actually stamped in SU!’s Elegant Eggplant, a dark, dark purple that looks even darker after some clear embossing powder. Â Unfortunately, I didn’t have the Mat Stack 1 die, but cutting it by hand was pretty simple.
Look at the envelope! I love that envelope more than the card itself! Look at those graduation caps and the “class of” at the bottom, ready to customize for the recipient 🙂
Used:Â Papertrey Ink (White cardstock, For the Graduate stamp set) | Market Street Stamps (Blast Off!) | Stampin’ Up (Summer sun ink, Elegant Eggplant ink, dimensionals) | Studio G (purple ink pad) | Others (rinestones, clear embossing powder)
