CASED Cards

I found these ideas from other papercrafters but I cannot remember where they are from. I CASED (Copy and Share Everything) these ideas and I hope you enjoy them. I hope to posting regularly very soon as summer arrives.

Happy Stamping,

Barbeque and Apron Card

Hello Everyone,

I cannot believe that it has been so long since I posted last. I have been extremely busy and stressed. Let's just say that my plate was overflowing so much that I was carrying 2 plates. I was working a lot but now it will all end very soon. I am looking forward to getting in my stamp room more often and posting regularly. I am going to post a lot of projects in the next day or two for my stamping club ladies. They like to see the projects that we will be making ahead of time. I am going to highlighting masculine cards and 3D projects.

First up is the barbeque and apron card. The card can fit inside of the barbeque. Also, a gift card can fit inside as well.

Happy Stamping,

Candy Box Card

Just a quick post today as I seem to be getting sick. My throat has started to get sore so I am off to bed shortly. I decided to make a special card that houses a treat and a greeting. I was trying to use my new goodies from the Occasions Mini (button and pompom trim). I also used a new stamp set to put the greeting "Happy Birthday" inside. The treat is a favourite candy of mine, Lindor chocolates. I love, love them. Well that is it for now. Happy stamping, ~danita~

Never Ending Card

This card has 4 layouts that continues to open until you come back to the beginning. It is really something to see in action. I really like cards that move. Don't you? Of course, you might have to send the receipt instructions with this card as well. The finished card measures 6 x 6. Well, I am off to finish up another creation and will post it tomorrow.

Happy Stamping,

Fabric Anyone?

This is another first for me.....fabric on a card. And of course, I used one of the more difficult die cut (snowflake) that one could use. Be advised. Do not try this at home unless you have the support of your papercrafting friends. I got really excited about this that I took the entire adhesive backing off and of course all the branches of the snowflake stuck together. Next time, I would remove adhere one branch at a time. Despite all of the stickiness, I really like it. There was no stamping done at all on this card and the Big Shot was so easy to use for this project. Now, I want to make a rag purse or a little girl's apron with this material. Happy stamping, ~danita~
