Last week, I stumbled upon Wida's blog, Beachorado, and learned that she was in the midst of a very fun project. She and lots of her friends had embarked on a CASing adventure that she called CASADIA. In this game, each person has cased the card of the person in front of them. You can see the chain below. It's almost like a game of telephone, as the cards migrate further and further away from the original card. As you look at all these incredible cards, you can see who made the card, and you can click on their name to go to their blogs to see more about how their card was made.
Wida was kind enough to let me play along, so scroll down to see what I came up with:
Laura Bassen
Are you still with me? Here is my card, that I cased from this card above by Julie:
 |
| Brighter Skies (by me) |
I loved Julie's paper pieced umbrella, clouds and supportive sentiment, so that is the direction I took my card in. I had just returned from Michaels with a brand new MME Reunion 6X6 paper pad, so I used those papers in my card, along with an umbrella from Scattered Showers, and the Heart 2 Heart stamp set.
Well, this card is pretty far from where we started with the original card. I remembered seeing that card when it was first posted, and wanted to see if I could case that one, too. Here is what I came up with:
 |
| Happy Birthday |
My card is a fun and colorful take on Laura Bassen's original card. I went with a sentiment in the negative space behind a die cut, and used colored twine on the side for the buttons.
CASADIA has been great fun. Thanks, Wida, for allowing me to play along. If you would like to join in on the fun, please click here to get in touch with Wida.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project!! I love the first card with your white clouds on kraft cardstock. And the 2nd card is super fun with all those stars and polka dots!! Love both of them!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea! So fun to see the progression. Nice job on both cards, Joyce! The colors you used on the star card make such a fun combination.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun "game" :)!! I loved watching the progression of the cards and yours fits nicely in that progression. Loving the fun colors you chose and the paper piecing of the umbrella! Then how fun that you also cased the first card. I always love the look of when a die cut negative is used, but I never do it....I need to jump on that bandwagon!

ReplyDeleteNow that was a fun game of telephone! How the cards progressed was so interesting. I love your card Joyce, the umbrella and the patterned paper you chose to go with it, I always love to see that cute umbrella. Your card casing the first one also is adorable, the star background with the center cut out was a great take on the original. What a fun challenge.
