CAS Card Making Day 2 - Perfectly Flat Cards

I love being in 'Summer School' especially when you're taking a class that is all about your number one hobby.

Day 2 of the Clean and Simple Card Making Class features Perfectly Flat Cards or what are more commonly referred to as One Layer Cards.

The first group of cards were inspired by a video tutorial by Julie Ebersole.



The second pair of cards stemmed from an idea that was floating around in my head this morning when I woke. I really wanted to ink up some stamps that I've had in my stash for a while but never got around to using until now.

I love the fact that I have made a total of 10 complete cards today and another 3 are in the process of being 'coloured'. I think that is a record for me (apart from the days of making SU swaps). I love the simplicity of all the designs that have been featured so far and am already planning what to pick to highlight day 3 and 4 of the class.



Here's a close up of all the cards that I have made so far from Day 2's inspiration -

Stamp Sets: Delicate Doilies (SU), Friends are Treasures (Hero Arts)

Pacific Point


River Rock


Poppy Parade


Stamps: Sheet Music (Artee Stamps), It's a Parade (Hero Arts)



Stamps: Sheet Music (Artee Stamps), Musical Walk (Hero Arts)



Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with some more cards inspired by day 2 of CAS Card Making.

PS: Thanks to the ladies at Splitcoast for mentioning my 'a note for you' cards as a CAS Favourite for the week.

I totally love the music parade stamp from hero arts and struggled to think how to use in a clean and simple design--and here it is. I love some of the more retro stamps, but struggle to figure out how to use them. Great job.

Punch Bunch Easel Cards

Punch Bunch Easel Cards I was thrilled to be asked back to be a Guest Designer for the Oh My Word !! Edition of UStamp with Dawn and Friends . My tutorial was featured on-line today so I am excited to be able to release some photos of the cards that I created especially for this round. If you know me well enough, you'll know that I love to make easel cards, especially scallop circle ones. When I was asked to think of a project, I started to think of other ways I could make easel cards using the Big Shot Dies that I owned. My mind is still 'ticking' with other possibilities but they will have to wait for another day! Here's what I came up with - #1 - Scallop Square Easel Card #2 - Scallop Circle Easel Card For my blog tutorial please visit - http://addinktivedesigns.blogspot.com/2010/10/scallop-circle-easel-card-tutorial.html #3 - Top Note (Horizontal) Easel Card/Photo Frame #4 - Beautiful Butterflies Easel Card For my blog tutorial please visit - http://addinkt...

Just Add Ink Challenge # 25

Image
Too Cute to Handle There's a colour challenge on this week at Just Add Ink . I found the colour combo a little tricky and then re-read my notebook to discover that it was one of my suggestions! Ooops! No-one to blame but myself! This week's Colour Combo The card evolved from me wanting to use the cute Rose Red coloured Designer Hardware from the 'Hooray' collection (Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue) as a starting point! The sentiment then led me to use the little tea cup stamp called, 'Share a Cup'. It's one of my favourite stamps and so versatile! ... and so the design 'blossomed' from there. The little flowers coming from the cup are attached to small lengths of florist wire. Project Recipe: Stamp Sets: One of a Kind, Share a Cup Ink: Rose Red, Soft Suede, Elegant Eggplant Cardstock: RR, SS, EE and Very Vanilla Accessories: 1/2" SS Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Sizzlits Little Leaves Die, 5-Petal Flower and Boho Blossoms Punches, ...

Freshly Made Spice Cake

Here's a card I made especially for the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches - Freshly Made Spice Cake I hope the leaf flourish is okay for the 'square' section of the sketch as I did not want to cover up the woven panel. Here's the sketch - It's been so nice to take some time out to craft before the rush to write end of year reports, go to presentations nights, son's graduation, organise the finer details for daughter's leaver's dinner, all of which are fast approaching! So I'm crafting while I still have a small window of opportunity. Project Recipe: Stamps: Spiced Paisley (SU December Release), It's Your Day Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard Card Stock: Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Pear Pizzazz Accessories: Blossom Party Die, Spice Cake DSP (SU December Release), 1/2" Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Victoria Crochet Trim, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Leaf Flourish Die (Marieanne Creatables) and ...
