I am playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch and Tag You're it, who have joined forces this week. How fun is that?
I made a card with a tag, and then a coordinating tag to wrap up a little parcel of cards as a birthday gift.
I loved the colors of this week's ColourQ cQc #253 and immediately rushed to make a card inspired by these cards by Lisa of Lisa's Life Lines. She called them "split cards" and I just thought they were so cool. Lisa used patterned paper, but I decided to stamp my own patterned paper using Circle Scribbles.
Part of the front is cut away, and the pattern is actually on the base.
4 layers of Wet Paint die cut word 'happy'.
Here is what it looks like opened up.
Fun, right? I could see making a set of these with a bunch of the Wet Paint die cut words.
I am going to enter all three of these cards into this week's Seize the Birthday--anything goes without toppings. I sure hope I have a chance to make a yellow birthday card before the linky ends on this challenge.
Last is a card I made using a Cottage stamp from Serendipity. I thought that the theme was CAS, but when I looked again (after I already made the card), I realized that the theme is actually I Miss You. I think this card could probably work for that theme--I miss you and want you home sweet home. I stamped the Cottage Image on water color paper cut with a stitched rectangle, and then water colored it.
That's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting

Awesome cards, I like that the core concept of things going off the edge is consistent, yet we get to see such a variety :)
ReplyDeletelove the card for seize the birthday very clever
ReplyDeleteFabulous Joyce - love the design of the Colour Q card...really must try that technique. Every time I see that scribble stamp I covet it! Thanks for playing along at Colour Q!

ReplyDeleteWOW...what a great set of cards! Every one of them is a winner...can't even pick a favorite! :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat set of cards. I love your tag/sketch card and how you stamped the flower underneath the die cut. And you are making me wish I got the topiary trio set. That's a great set to use with the partial die cut technique!
ReplyDeleteOh, so creative!! Love the twist on each of the birthday cards, but my favourite has to be the wet paint birthday card. Thanks for sharing them at Seize The Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWow! So much inspiration in one post. Love how you split the Wet Paqint word card and that tag is just too pretty. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteBowled over by your creativity, Joyce ... these are all amazing! Love how you've used die cuts (and their negative space) to hang over the edges of your cards/tag ... sooo inspiring! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour mojo is in wonderful overdrive! What a fantastic group of cards!!! You started out with killer tag and tag-card, then blew me away with your topiary card, and completely knocked me out of my chair with your scribble circles card. And you topped it off with the sweetest little watercolored card. Well done! Love them! Bev
ReplyDeleteJoyce...wow! I love the first the last and everything in between. Your card/tag due is fantastic...who wouldn't want that fun gift? And I adore your split card. The background you created with the squiggles is fantastic and the idea is so fun. I think I might just have to try that out.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You are a busy bee. Great cards. The tag card is gorgeous. Love the MIM card. Creative to use both sides of the card. Also love the layout of the card you stamped those circles on. Must look to see how that card is actually made.
ReplyDeleteAll these cards are so cute and creative! I especially like the card design with the split card!
ReplyDeleteWow Joyce, you have been busy. So many fabulous cards.
ReplyDeleteThe negative cuts on your tag card are awesome! So glad you played along with us at the Tag You're It Challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I've not seen the split card technique before...so clever.
