Another CASE Study card

This is the first card I made for this week's CASE Study Challenge. Trying to mimic Jocelyn's design 'old school', I had to share with you. Which card do you like more?

Here is my first card...

This is the card I posted as Guest DT at CASE Study this week...

Have a great week!

Dynamic Duos #63

Time for a new colour duo at Dynamic Duos!

This week's colours are:

There is nothing more calm and soothing then greens.  Do you remember last month when all my cards used stitched mats? Don't get me wrong I still love them, but this month my cards all seem to have sequins on them somewhere. I fought the sequin bandwagon, but now that I have a pretty collection of them I am in LOVE! 

I am taking my colours this week in an unexpected direction. This is an anniversary card for my hubby! We celebrate 23 years on the 18th of August, I can't believe it has been that long.  Eight moves, 2 kids, a dog and a lot of good times he is still the love of my life. It is looking like this one is going back in his suitcase on Monday. 

We hope that you join the fun again this week at Dynamic Duos, we would love too see you!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - July, Moxie Fab World Birthday Card Challenge and Seize the Birthday

I can't believe it is already the Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop! Where has this summer gone? 

Six fruit inspired colour palettes were provided for us to use for our inspiration, this is the colour palette I chose.

For my card I used Sketched Shapes and Happiness in Bloom to create a summer sweet birthday card. I placed a matching sequin in the centre of each one of my flowers. I am going to be submitting this to both the Moxie Fab World Birthday Card Challenge and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes Challenge.

FSS - July Release Day 3: Beachy Keen

It is day three of the Fresh Squeezed Stamps July release, the final day. If you missed day one and two check out my previous posts here on my blog or from the whole release here on my blog or head over to Fresh Squeezed Stamps to see the reveal and projects from the rest of the team from this release.

This stamp set just make me want to go to the beach. For my card today I created a little beach scene using images and a sentiment from Beachy Keen plus the sun image from Weather through. The sand image was so fun to use to create my custom sand and a little paper piecing on my umbrella--just makes me happy.

CASE Study Challenge #151

Time for this week's CASE Study and it is also my last week as Guest Designer. It has been such a fun month studying the gorgeous cards of Jocelyn Olson.  What I love about CASE Study is that it pushes you to think outside the box, to explore your creativity in new ways and to grow as an artist.  Jocelyn is an amazing digital and hybrid card maker and it really pushed me to explore options I hadn't before and to see what I could come up with using ink and stamps.  Check out this week's fantastic digital card.

Just in time for creating my card I received the new Neat & Tangled Ink Splash stamp and I put it right to work for my version of Jocelyn's card. I am going to be submitting this to both the Moxie Fab World Birthday Card Challenge and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes Challenge.

Join us at CASE Study this week and see how you can explore new options in your own creativity!
Thank you so much Chupa for the opportunity to play with the team!

FSS - July Release Day 2: Sublime Citrus

It is day two of the Fresh Squeezed Stamps July release. If you missed day one click here to see my post from Day 1 introducing 'Everyday Expressions' or head over to Fresh Squeezed Stamps to see the reveal and projects from the rest of the team from Day 1.

Nothing says summertime more that citrus fruit. For my card I focused on the oranges. Stamping the orange slice two times and then using my 1" circle punch to cut it out--fits perfectly.  I cut the second one in half. I die cut and embossed a circle, stamped my sentiment and adhered the two orange pieces. One directly and the half slice with foam tape. Both are mounted onto some orange gingham matted with an orange solid. A 'sweet' card. Iam also linking this up to the Simon Says Food and Drink Challenge.
