Use up those scraps! - two cards

We're nearly the end of April, and I'm almost done with my April Counterfeit kit. Although I used only one of the 12x12 pages, I used almost all the smaller papers and many of the embellishments (including my counterfeited ones!).

I run into two sketches which were just perfect to use more of my kit scraps, and made two cards.

The first card:

I used Freshly Made Sketches #432:

I rotated the sketch to the side, as I wanted to use this long 'thank you' die.

The circle is a handmade 'chipboard' that I was very happy to use here.

The second card:

I used Atlantic Hearts Sketches #365:

Again, the circle is a handmade 'chipboard'.

Loooking again at the card, I might just add some black faux stitching to the edges of the pp.

Both cards go also for the 'All occasion' challenge at Krafty Chicks.

A birthday card with brush strokes - CAS(E) This Sketch meets Color Throwdown

Honorable mention

CAS(E) This Sketch

A great sketch with beautiful color combo is a perfect match for me, and this card was created with the inspiration of two great challenges.

Honorable mention 

at The Spot

CAS(E) This Sketch #369, with a retro sketch:

Well, it screamed to me - 'brush strokes'!, so I pulled out my new stamp set, and all I had to do is choose which brush stroke to choose. I went on the one with the unfinished edges.

The colors at Color Throwdown #590 were so so appealing, so springy:

I stamped the strokes on a white cs, added the sentiment and then adhered it on a kraft cs basis.

It also goes for the 'Birthday' challenge at The Spot #107:

I really love how this card turned out. What do you think?

A date display and a greeting card

A very good friend of mine got promotion at work, so I made her a date display, to put on her desk at work.

For making the date display, I followed Keren Skubach's tutorial. I added matting to the back of the display.

The papers are from WhiteRus 'Family' 6x6 pad.

I would like to enter it to the 'Anything goes' challenge at More Than One Score.

Having lots of pp scraps from this project, I also made a greeting card, to go along with the gift:

I followd sketch #551 at Tuesday Morning Sketches, which is so perfect for using all those scraps:

The sentiment is Kaisercraft's stamp.

Just for you - Color Throwdown meets CAS(E) This Sketch

Red, gray, black & white color combo is a very elegant one. It can be very dramatic, but also can be used for a very delicate style.

Color Throwdown #589 has this wonderful colors for their challenge:

I combined it with a CAS and elegant sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #368:

I find that the bold red  flowers against the white background and the gray vases - makes this card very elegant.

It's a girl! - a cas card

This card was so quick to make, and I love how it turned out! 

Again I used my April Counterfeit kit to make it, with a little addition of the Carta Bella stickers.

I followed two challenges:

Cas on Friday #178, which asked for Bunnies.

The 2nd challenge - TGIF #260, with a sketch and a belly band:

I only added a few enamel dots, and my card is done!

Find your balance - CSI case file no. 316

A 2nd layout for the Corona days... it's my DT layout for CSI case file no. 316, only I'm a little late for the reveal... here's the inspiration photo with the 'clues':

I used all 5 colors in th scheme. From the clues I used chevrons, tirangles, clouds, flowers, leaves, branches, butterflies, gold (gold embossing over a stencil in the background), stamps, scallops and 'rain drops' for the weather-realated element.

My jouranling is about our new 'everyday', the new routine, how I need to find my balance everyday from the begining, in a state of social distance. A very challenging period.

The colors went so well with the April challenge at Lindy's blog, teal, purple and pink:

Lindy's products that I used-

Starburst sprays: Azure Sea Asters, Hi Maintenance Magenta, Sweet Violet Purple Teal.

Shaker - Time Travel Teal.

Embossing powders: Madonna Rob Blue Gold, Queen Sheba's Silver and King Midas Gold.

I loved how you can play around with one product and get different shades of the color, only by adding water. So purple and pink were both from the purple shimmers - from the bold to the mute shades.

This layout was also inspired by April challenge at More Than Words - Everyday plus Bugs/birds:

We have a new 'everyday' now, not like we used to have. At this chaotic and challenging period, every day I need to find my balance from the begining, remember to breathe, relax. I often do this when I walk with my dog in the early mornings.

Here're some close-ups on the details:

I wish you all good health.
