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.
The challenge at this week's Make it Monday is all about creative card borders. I used Topiary Trio stamps and dies for my card.
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
