F4A75 CAS-tastic Summer

The Free 4 All challenge on SCS was a CAS-tastic Summer card. I like the dimension that the Scor-Pal gives the card, a little change from my normal Cuttlebug backgrounds! I haven't used the Happy Harmony set in a long time, so I pulled it out for Forgotten Stamp Friday.

Layer it Up!

Think this has enough layers?!! Lee challenged the Flybabies to make a card with at least 8 layers on it. I did it!!! *grin* All of the papers were from my scrap box, so I'm not sure what company the dp is from. The Totally Gorjuss challenge was to use punches or dies.

Stamps: In Full Bloom
C/S: White, Black, Lemon Tart
copics, black satin ribbon, punches

Timeless Tuesday #127 Inspiration Photo


This week's Timeless Tuesday challenge is an Inspiration challenge. It was all about purple.

While I was putting this card together Devin asked why I had cut my circle the way I did. He thought I was a genius! I'm sure that others have thought of this, but I am going to share anyway. The dp I used was from a paper pack that also had solid color matching paper. It only had one sheet & I wanted to use it as a layer & as my scallop nestie. So I cut the paper the size I needed for my 2nd layer. Then I cut the scallop nestie out of that layer. (it looks like it was really close, but I did measure before I cut... measure twice, cut once... ) When I put my card together, you can't tell that I used part of the purple layer as my nestie scallop.

Stamps: Calendar Set 1
c/s: cream

purple brads, circle nestabilities, copics
