CAS card Class

Greetings and salutations!!

I'm back again today with some CAS cards I made after watching and being SO inspired by Julie Ebersole's card on Day 2 with her Perfectly Flat Cards tutorial in the Clean And Simple Card Class.

These cards aren't quite perfectly flat (there are a few gemstones in one corner) but they come close :) and I love em anyway.

I made a set of them, but only photographed them separately, so here they are :)

SUPER simple to make (yay!). Here's how I did them:

• Cut white cardstock to 6x4 and score down the centre (but don't fold yet) 
• Using masking tape/paper or post--it notes, mask off about 2/3 of the front of the card and all of the back of the card (be sure to keep your post-it OVER the scoreline or that will get ink on it)
• Take your chosen ink colour, ink up the Hero Arts Zig Zag cling stamp and press onto the cardstock that is still visible.
• 
  
• Remove your masks and the ink will only be on one portion of the card.
• Using a scoreboard, score a little line right down the edge of the stamped area. This helps to really 'finish' off the image as it doesn't really have a border otherwise.
• Round the edges of your card with a corner chomper
• Stamp the sentiment on the bottom right hand corner of the card, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• Add 2-3 gemstones as suits the sentiment.
• Fold the card :)

That's it!!

So fun to make, NO stress, and you've got a perfect little gift for someone!! I'm going to box mine up and send them to my best friend. Everyone needs notecards and using various sentiments on each card, gives them a range of occasions to be suitable for.

Tools and products I used are linked below as always!

I'll have more for you VERY soon :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

CAS card Class

Hello again!

This is my second post of the day, so if you're looking for the first, (my card inspired by Julie Ebersole, just go HERE)

I'm participating/taking the Clean And Simple Card Class HERE and it's only day 3, but WOWEE are there some amazing inspirational ideas there! (It's not too late to sign up either, so join in!)

These two cards are based on a sketch they offered on day 1. I decided to make 2 versions of the same card, just to show how altering one thing can make such a difference. I love both cards equally though :)

I'd like to add in a disclaimer, CLEARLY I need to purchase an embossing buddy (one of those tools that keep static off your card so that you dont get embossing powder where you dont want it...there is one in my cart at Simon Says Stamp as we speak lol)

Card #1 is the more basic, super CAS style:

To make this, I stamped the Flower Dot Pattern stamp onto some patterned paper from Crate Paper and white heat embossed it. I love that there is a layer of pattern now :) I cut a small strip of the paper and adhered it to a piece of Hero Arts Mocha layering Paper, which had been cut to size, scored and folded into a notecard.
Next I heat embossed the sentiment, added the ribbon and punched hearts and finished off with some faux stitching around the edges.

SUPER DUPER SIMPLE!

Card #2 is a slightly less simple style, but took almost no additional time to the first one. VERY simple to make.

For this one, I stamped & heat embossed the Flower Dot Pattern background stamp from Hero Arts onto the Mocha layering paper (which was cut down to a standard sized card, scored and folded).To leave space for the sentiment, I simply masked off a small section, before stamping, so that the embossing ink didn't get on that part of the cardstock.

Next I added a strip of patterned paper, the ribbon and the two little punched hearts. Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment. SIMPLE!!

well! that's it for me folks!

I'll be back soon :)

Have an amazing day!

CAS card inspired by Julie Ebersole

Hello friends!

I'll be posting twice today, so be sure to check out both posts :)

This is a card I made after seeing the AMAZINGLY talented Julie Ebersole's card HERE.  I'm only new to Julie's work but my goodness is she one talented lady!! wow. genius at work here people! Be sure to check out her blog :)

To make colour this card, I used my Memento Markers. WOW. they work beautifully. I'm definitely going to need to increase my collection!

This card will be being submitted to the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge for "New Something".  Well this stamp from Hero Arts is new to me, and this technique is new too :) I'm definitely going to be making more of this style card ASAP!!
In much the same way as you would colour with copic markers, I just started wtih my lightest colour first, covering the whole flower petal, then added in darker shades before re-blending back over the whole thing wtih the lightest one again. Super simple but oh-so-effective.





Here is a bit of a close up.

Well I hope you liked it as much as I do!! I'm very much in love wtih this technique!!

I'll be back shortly with post #2!!

Take care and I'll see you in a bit--

*hugs*
