CASE-ing My Friends



I am popping in ever so quickly to share 2 cards I made yesterday.  They were so quick to make because they are both CASEs of cards I saw while visiting my blogging friends yesterday.

This first card is CASEd from Bobby--I just fell in love with her faux quilting card and had to make my own.  I used the Building Blocks die to cut some sheets from a Recollections Valentine pad that was sitting around, and laid it out just like Bobby did.  According to Bobby's description, this is a rail fence pattern.  So, I learned something about quilts yesterday, too.  After gluing down all my strips, I ran it through the Circles and Diamonds Lil Inker Cover Plate to give it a quilted texture.  I cannot wait to make more of these.  It was a really fun (and easy) card to make.



My second card is a CASE of Kim from Cupcakes, Cards & Kim.  I often CASE Kim, but usually not so soon after she posts her card.  But, what can I say except that I was immediately inspired, and I also needed to replenish my sympathy stash.  I went monochrome with this one--I think it sets the right tone for this card, using Kraft ink and paper along with Rustic Cream paper.



Thanks for Visiting

  2. Joyce...I am so honored that you cas'ed my sympathy card. Your card is just beautiful and I love the serene look you created. And Bobby's quilt card, just amazing and it looks cozy enough to curl under with a good book.

  9. Fabulous! After seeing this and doing Kara's challenge a couple days ago it makes me wonder why I don't CASE more often.
