A 'Get Well Soon' card, in warm colors

Honorable Mention at Fusion

On a local FB group, we make and donate cards for a hospital. Usually, there's no limitaion on the sentiment, but this time we were asked to make 'Get Well' cards. 

I used the sketch, only the sketch, from Fusion Card Challenges:

I wanted my card to be with a warm scene, so I stamped the brush strokes in an orange palette. I then stamped over the brush strokes a sketched flower, tied a twine and added a few golden sequins. The sentiment is a sticker.

I was also inspired by the orange/brown cupcakes photo at Cupcake Inspiration:

Love with flowers and leaves

 

Hello dear crafty friends!

Today I have for you a CAS card I made.

I played with some Lindy's sprays on a watercolor paper, in colors of green and blue. I then die cut the leaves branch (Memory Box) from that paper.

I wanted to give more subtle look to the branch, so I die cut one more branch from vellum. I adhered the colored branch on the card basis, and the vellum one ot top of the previous one.

I stamped and die cut the flowers in blue (Stampin' Up In Symetry), and adhered the flowers on top of the branch.

I die cut the 'love' word (unbranded) from shimmery gold cs and adhered it on top of the leave.

To finish up, I adhered some gold sequins.

It goes for the following challenges:

Color Throwdown - blue, green and gold:

Perfectly CAS - flowers (using up to 1/3 of the card):

Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies:

An elegant birthday card

 The current challenge at Color Throwdown brings a very elegant combination - white, black and gold/silver:

This card was made only with dies. I used the spiral die with gold cardstock, and again with a black one. The gold die cut was matted with the black one, in a way that creates kind of a shaddow. 

The same wad done with the 'happy birthday' die, only this time I die cut the sentiment 3 times in gold, and matted it with one layer of the black one.

I added 3 gold sequins for more sparkle, and it also goes for the 'sparkle' challenge at The Paper Players:

The 3rd challenge I would like to enter this card is from Inspire.Create.challenges, with the theme of  'Birthday':

It was brought to my attention, by a virtual friend, that it can also go for the January challenge at Archi-Scraps:

The color combo, along with the motif on the door, wouldn't you say it fits?

You're amazing - a CAS snowy card

Today I would like to share with you a CAS card I've made.

I was inspired by the photo at Less Is More challenge blog:

I took the colors of kraft, red and b/w, and also the tied twine.

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

For the main element I used a snowflake die, and I die cut the white cs 3 times, to give some dimension.

A few scored line and a sentiment, and for the final touch I adhered a red sequin to the middle of the snowflake.

The kraft panel was adhered to a red cs basis.

Simple card, yet very elegant, don't you think?

I will give it to a very dear friend, along with a beautiful handmade gift. I think she'll like it.

A pile of leaves Thank You card

 

Happy Friday to all! 

This week, Lynn from The Color Throwdown #668 offered a very striking color combo - rust, brown, blue and gold:

I stamped a pile of leaves in brown, rust and blue, and a small 'thank you' sentiment in brwon. 

I added some gold sequins as embellishments.

The panel was matted with gold shimmer cs, and then I adhered it to a dark blue cs basis.

Leaves are the main focal object of my card, and it's a perfect match to the current challenge at CAS on Friday, which aked for leaves.

It also goes to the two Simonsays Stamp challenge, Monday & Wednesday, where the theme is thanks.

I hope you liked my card and thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comments very much.

 

One of the FAV at 

Color Throwdown

Hello crafty friends and thank you for popping up at my blog.

Today I'm sharing a pile of autumn leaves for a 'thanks' card.

I really love the rich colors of this one!

I was inspired by the current challenge at Color Throwdown #663, where Broni asked for orange, brown and gray:

I started with a pale gray woodgrain dp, and made some splatters with brown, gold and orange Lindy's sprays.

I die cut 3 different leaves patterns from 4 different dp, and aranged them in a pile, overlapping each other.

I die cut 2 stitched tags, in 2 different sizes, one from gold cs and one from darker gray cs, stampped the setiment on the smaller tag, and tied a bow with both tags. I also adhered a brown leaf under the smaller tag. 

Then I adhered the tags to the gray pannel with foam dots. 

I matted the pannel with orange cs, and adhered to a dark gray card basis.

For the final touch, I added some golden sequins.

It alos goes for Tic Tac Toe challenge #134:

I took the middle row - leaves, Thanks and shades of brown.

Hello, First Grade

Is it September already?! this year is just flying...

Anyway, a new month means a new challenge at CSI - case file no. 330:

This is how I solved this case file:

I used all 5 colors;

From the evidence I used: text patterns, school-themed elements, clips, washi tape, gold, bows, sequins and hearts.

The photo if of my eldest, on his first day at school, but the journaling is from today's point of view, as he graduated school last July!

The title says: Hello, Frist Grade!

Here're some close-ups:

Some school-themed elements -

The clips are either chipboards or stamps:

The journaling tag:

It's the most wonderful time of the year - CSI case file no. 303

I can't believe it's already December! how time flies when having fun...

It's time for a new case file at CSI and it has a lovely inspiration photo:

For my layout I used one of the many photos I took last on December 2018, on my vacation in Nantes. The city was all decorated for Christmas and the Christmas markets were fabulous!

I used all 5 colors. For the evidence I used: polka dots, stripes, woodgrain, ornaments, trees, sequins, flowers, felt, I made the trees using a scalloped punch and used a sticker phrase. I documented something about Christmas and wrote 4 important things about that vacation.

I used Laura Whitaker's sketch from My creative Scrapbook:

Here're some close-ups on the details:

Summer 2019 - CSI case file no. 288 reveal

Warm July is already here, and we have a summer theme inspiration for you at CSI, with case file no. 288:

Isn't it just a yummy inspiration image?

I scrapped without a photo, only documenting our plans for this summer. it's the first time I scrap in real time and not about something that already happened.

I used all 5 colors and for the evidence I used: ice cream themed elements, circular elements, triangles, labels, sprinkle (embossing powder, sprays, sequins), bows and numbers.

I was inspired by the inspiration word 'Great", and placed my journaling on labels.

I used a mixed media tag I've made a while ago, and backed it with another tag, colored with brown mist and with a patterned paper with triangles.

For the background I stamped with 7 Dots Studio stamp and used Lindy's sprays in coordinating colors for the splatters.

The leaves and the doily were also colored with Lindy's spray in pink.
