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.

Seven Cards, Really?

Hello there.  I am popping in with a mid-week post with some cards for a few different challenges and 2 different card drives.

My first two cards are for the Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches Sparks this week, and I am also sending them off to MD Anderson Cancer Center for the HYCCT challenge--this one is to create a sweetly romantic card.

I used the Lattice Frame die by WPlus9 and the Blossoming Buds stamps by Paper Smooches.  I love that the flowers are already arranged in this stamp set.  All I have to do is just color them in.


My next card is also for the HYCCT challenge--this one is to use music, birds or hearts.

While I had my Little Bitty Bird and LBB Additions stamps out, I decided to make another card for the same HYCCT challenge, but this time, I made it a one layer card featuring some bird houses.  I am entering this card into the One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home and CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder.  

As one thing leads to another...since I was now thinking of one layer cards, I made another card for the One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home.  This card uses a ghost stamping technique that I saw here on the Caring Hearts blog hop.  Of course, my card will also be sent along to the Caring Hearts card drive.   I am also playing along with Festive Friday , Colour Me #45 and  CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder.  

One more card for the  One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home challenge, CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder challenge and Caring Hearts, using the Winter Wishes stamps.

And, last for today is a card for this week's ColourQ cQc #266  and Caring Hearts.
