CAS(E) this Sketch #66

Hello Everyone,
Happy Thursday and another
CAS(E) this Sketch week.

The sketch for this week is pretty simple but loads of possibilities :)


For my sketch...I created a shaker card using Wplus9 stamp sets from
Dockside, Dockside Background, Country Charm, More Fresh Cuts, Stackers Rounded Rectangles, Nautical Notion Die, and Happy Trio Dies.

1. First I created my card base from a white cardstock, I first stamped my bird image and sun using the wrong side of the tiny life saver image included in the Dockside stamp set. Then did a little ink distressing.
2. Then, I created a panel same size of the A2 card then stamped it with wood grain background and the bottom of the panel I stamped it with the rope image also from the same set  Dockside Background
3. This is where I cut my window using the 2nd to the largest of the  Rounded Rectangles. After cutting the window I cut another panel this time using the largest of the Rounded Rectangles where I stamped the stripes using the Country Charm with the Wplus9 Lake House pigment ink.
4. Next, I attached my clear cardstock panel at the back of the window, then attached some foam dots to help my sequins move around. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh cornflower, cobalt, and clear.
5. I die-cut the boat image from the stand alone Nautical Notion Die. I colored the boat with my Copics but the sail I stamped it with images from More Fresh Cuts. This is a retirement card for a female after all *-* adding the flower image that way I think is better if you don't want a bulk when you mail it :)


6. I added the "happy" die from Happy Trio Dies just recently released for the month of February. The "retirement" sentiment is from Dockside stamp set which I cut and adhere it with foam dots for a little dimension.


Here's the full look of the card.


I hope you enjoyed my Nautical flower retirement card.

Trend Watch Challenge - Happy


Hello Everyone....
I just received my orders from Wplus9 release :)
I must say....  I Love...love it!!!

I made this card to play with the new TREND WATCH CHALLENGE going on at Wplus9

For my card I used the Whole Lotta' Happy, Borders & Backgrounds 3, and the die-cuts
Happy Trio.

1. First, I created a card from white cardstock, and cut a panel same size as my A2 card then stamped the balloons first.
2.  Then when the image is dry I added the confetti effect on my balloons using the Uni-ball Signo board White pen. 
3. Next, I stamped the stamp images from Borders & Backgrounds 3 , I also cut some of the little piece of the stamps to spread the image everywhere on my card panel. Never fear, I can put all the pieces back together and still use it as intended too.
4. Then, I splatter my card with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Gold...for the trends, I also added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.


I got the inspiration from this photo :)

5. I want to show you I how I did my "happy" die-cut from Happy Trio. I die-cut some coaster board pieces and cut the bottom or the tails of the p's and y,  I did this so the tail of the p's and y are hanging on the strip without cutting some foam dots.



6. For the gold strip here's what I did, I attached my 1/4 score tape on a cardstock and apply my Perfect Pearls in Sunflower Sparkle for the bright gold effect like the Delicata ink....so in love with this color.
7. I then cut and adhere with foam dots on my card panel.



In this picture is just to show you the "happy"  the tails of the p and y just hanging okay on the strip.
The other sentiment is from the Whole Lotta' Happy as well.
I really love that Dawn included the sentiment " From all of US" so...Awesome!!!


Here's the full view of  the card.


I hope you enjoyed some of the trends in this card.

Hello Everyone....Its the 3rd day previews at Neat & Tangled.
STOP and GO
If you love On the Corner you will definitely love this.....ubber COOL set designed by: Miriam Prantner

For my first card I flipped the stop light and added flowers as my focal point.
Here's how I did it....

1. First, I made a card from white cardstock, then cut a white panel the same size as my A2 card.
2. I then distress the whole panel with Ranger distress ink Wild Honey & Peacock Feathers.
3. Next, I then die-cut my big cloud shape on the side using a 1 inch circle die then just die-cut it to your liking for a cloud shape.

4. I then stamped, colored, and fussy cut my images, then adhere it with foam dots. As for the sentiments I used the Stop and Go sentiments that are included in the set. I just stamped it on the separate cardstock then cut and adhere with foam dots.


I just want to share with you how I created my own flowers and leaves. I just drew 5 circles on my cardstock using my copics and color with the same color RV21 as for the center I used the R32 and the leaves YG95.  This is just really simple and you can try it with different colors. I just fussy cut each one does not take very long, instant flowers when you need it.


5. At the bottom of my card I just cut a strip of white cardstock and color it with grey to make it look like a the pavement *-*  I also added a strip of kraft cardstock and adhere it at the bottom of the grey.


Here's the full view of the entire card.



For this card...I think this will be perfect for a male card...no flowers here...Ha! I just love flowers <3

1. First, I created a card base from a kraft cardstock and created my white panel a little bit smaller than my A2 card, then distressed it with Ranger distress ink Peacock Feathers just very lightly.
2. Next I die-cut the black cardstock using the two dies from Mama Elephant Landscape Trio...hehe that is why my road has a shape :) Oh.....and I just used my ruler to write my white dash line using White Gelly Roll pen I got at Michaels over at the pens and marker section of the store.

3. I then stamped, colored, and fussy cut each image then adhere with foam dots.


4. For the sentiment, I stamped it on the white strip of cardstock and adhere with foam dots.
