A birthday card in rainbow colors - AAA Cards meets Just Us Girls

This is a CAS card I made for 2 challenges:

The 1st is Just Us Girls #543, which asked for 'Rainbow':

The 2nd is AAA Cards #169 - Made in minutes (I diden't take to optional twist - Christmas In July):

This card was really made in minutes (it took me more time to find the right ink pads...).

I just add some scoring lines after stamping the spots, and adhered the panel to the card basis.

A memo notes holder

My final project using 'Farm Life' collection by Mintay Papers is a memo notes holder.

You can see my previous projects using this beautiful papers: Self closing gift bag, Countryside style box, Birthday card and a Paper cup.

All of them were given to a very good friend of mine, and she was thrilled.

To make this memo notes holder, I used Yael Youtzis' tutorial.

For the base I used heavy whieght cs, and then decorated with the pp.

I would like to submit it to the challenge at The Paper Players, which asked for 'Fun & Fancy Folds' paper project:

A cup of homemade granola

This is a paper cup I made, following Keren Skubach's tutorial (I made the larger cup).

Again I used the 'Farm Life' collection by  Mintay Papers, over heavy wheight kraft cs.

I distressed all edges, and it gives it a lovely look.

Inside the cup I put a small jar, filled with homemade granola.

This cup is one of some paper products I gave to a very good friend of mine.

Three colors and a flower - Less Is Simple meets AAA Cards

A CAS card I made for two challenges:

Less Is More #423 - asked for Fuchsia, Yeallo and Grey:

As the fuchsia is so vibrant, I went on soft and subtle hues of yeallo and grey.

I did some masking on the right bottom corner with yellow and then stamped some small spots with grey ink.

I stamped the flower in fuchsia and fussy cut it, and added some punched leaves in grey cs.

The 2nd challenge is AAA Cards #168:

I decided to leave the card with no sentiment, so it can fit to any occasion in the futre.

A countryside style birthday card

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

I made a birthday card, in a countryside style, to match the previous projects I made with this beautiful Mintay Papers 'Farm Life' collection (you can see them HERE and HERE).

I used the fantastic sketch provided this week at CAS(E) This Sketch #379:

Vacation - CSI case file no. 324

It's already July! and it's the 1st, so a new case file (challenge) is up at CSI:

This time we have a yummy case file, filled with beautiful colors of yellow, pink and pale blue.

I used my June mini counterfeit kit for this layout, with a self made yarn rainbow I made, following Rachel Lowe's tutorial, which you can find HERE.
From the clues, I used: woodgrain pattern and wood embellishment, pattern with multicolored small pattern against solid (the tiny hearts pp), gesso, flowers, metal, enamel dots, sprinkle something, stamps and using the same font in different colos.
For my testimony, I was inspired by the IW 'Dance' and wrote my journaling on a painted spot.
Here're some close ups on the details:

Farmhouse style box

When I saw Keren's tutorial for this box, I knew I just have to give it a try.

I used Mintay Papers 'Farm House' collection, and put inside some small cards, with inspirational and encouragements sayings. 

The recipient will be able to change between the cards, as they're attached with a scotch dots.

A close-up on the details, fussy cut from one of the papers:

Self closing gift bag

I made this self closing gift bag for  a triangles challenge that runs in a local Facebook group.

I used kraft cs for the base and Mintay Papers dp for docorating. 

I distressed all edges, both ot the cs and the dp.

As you can see, it has triangles all over:

It measures 5" hight and 4" width. The base is 2" square.

I also dcorated the inside lid:

Thanks A Latte - Color Dare meets MTF sketch

Another Thank You card, this time a more whimsical one.

I used MTF sketch #495:

Along with the beautiful color combo from Color Dare #400, purple, blue and green:

I stamped the brush stroke stamp 3 times, with the 3 colors for the stripes horizontal element, and stmaped the coffee cup, again in the 3 colors, for the vertical element. It's a classic "L" shape design, that always works.
