CAS(E) this Sketch 29


This week's sketch is a fun one by Jackie Rockwell.


Here's my take on the sketch.


I attached Hero Arts felt flower buttons to the Tweed Background
and the white embossed sentiment is also by Hero Arts.
I just realized that it's been a while since I've made an all Hero Arts card.

Lastly, here's a card that I made with the Envies stamp set.

Avery Elle Cupcakes


Today I'm showcasing Avery Elle's Cupcakes Clear Photopolymer Stamps.
Personally, I think you can never have too many cupcakes.
Especially if they come with matching dies.
 

I stamped the cupcake liner in Memento Rose Bud, and the rest of the cupcake
in Memento Rich Cocoa. The pieces were die cut with Avery Elle's matching
Cupcakes Elle-ments Dies and mounted on Kraft Heavy Card Stock.
I grounded the cupcake with the border stamp from 
Celebrate Clear Photopolymer Stamps.

The cupcake was decorated with Copic dots and assorted colors
of Avery Elle's sequins, and the sentiment was white embossed.



And if you're looking for sequins, stop by Avery Elle's store for a beautiful selection
of colors. You get a mixed assortment of shades and sizes in each pack.

Visit my super creative teammate, Nina, to see her clever card
using The Man Clear Photopolymer Stamps and Chevron Bits Elle-ment dies.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a crafty week!

CAS(E) this Sketch 28



I love N@Ali's sketches. They're clean, trendy, and fun.
Here's my take on this week's sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.


I was thrilled when Lawn Fawn's new Puffy Star Stackable dies arrived
because I really wanted to incorporate stars on my card.

I die cut a piece of acetate to use as a mask
and sponged in some color, then stamped the smaller stars and sentiment.
The piece was adhered to some Avery Elle Mimosa Heavy Card Stock.


Although it's difficult to see, I used a Sakura Aqualip Clear Glaze pen
on the small stars and around the large star for a bit of stellar shine.

Please visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammates
interpreted the sketch and play along with us.
