Hello everyone!! Just popping in today to show you a super quick card I created using pattern paper and a couple CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. I am not on the blog or anything, just using some odds and ends to get things done.
The inspiration for my card was the sketch #166 from the Global Design Project.
I have needed birthday cards up the wazoo this month so this was a fabulous sketch to use for my card.
I started off by layering a pattern paper scrap over a teal card base. The paper is from Scenic Route-a company that is no longer around. I have been attempting to use pattern paper more on my cards as I have a TON and it can really make a card easier to make.
Over the pattern paper, I added some embossed paper that Michele Ferguson had sent me eons ago.
I used an old PTI die to create the orange border and stamped the sentient with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink using the Whole Shebang stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.
The orange present was stamped awhile ago with CAS-Fridays Partridge in a Pear Tree and fussy cut out. I had colored it in with Copics and added some Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Dots for some interest. I popped it up on the card using adhesive foam.
This whole card took me about ten minutes to complete because I used the patterned paper and only really had to stamp the sentiment. Everything else was scraps or in my stash.
Just wanted to let you know that CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is having a retirement sale going on right now.
There are some FABULOUS sets still available. Hop on over and snap them up before they are gone!!
I am also entering this card into the Seize the Birthday Challenge-no toppings.
I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS night!!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card, Nora! I love these colors and your fun showcase of this present! <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific mix of patterns Nora! The patterned paper, the embossing and the little gift all flow together so well. This is cute!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, Nora! And a bonus that you cleaned up some of your leftovers at the same time ... yay!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed the sketch with a big ol' hammer, Nora! I love your happy birthday card with the bright pp and texture! December is the one month of the year when my wazoo is not backed up with birthday cards ~ which is a good thing since it's choked with Christmas cards, lol! Somehow we manage to get it all done, don't we?! ❤Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
