ADDICTED TO CAS #112 - GRADUATION

A timely card theme over at Addicted to CAS this week with their theme of Graduation although for the UK this really comes more into effect in late summer but we can always be prepared.


 

 I have done a Graduation card previously which was for my son last year which made it more of a Cap style card.

but I wanted to try another style for the CAS challenge.  There is a tutorial in my tutorial page above for this style of card.


For the Challenge, I kept to a black and white scheme and used the Stitched Framelits for the Mortar Cap.  I used the Falling Petals Embossing Folder, sadly retiring, but I'm keeping hold of mine.  The wording actually comes from a retired Project Life set Remember This.  Another set I'm keeping hold of because the sentiments in it are wonderful, not just for scrapbooking. I added a touch of our White Organza ribbon - shh don't tell I cut the organza bits off (!) and added a Metal Rimmed Pearl for the middle.

 

 Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog.  I love to hear from fellow crafters.

HAPPY CRAFTING

 

DAISY DELIGHT - CAS COLOURS AND SKETCHES #224

I can't seem to leave this little Daisy set alone - and I love the papers which go with it. 

The challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches this week is a sketch - how simple is this? Click on the image to go to their site.


 

 I kept my card as a one layer and added a strip of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper in the gorgeous Night of Navy colour.  I then added two punch outs of the daisy both still in the DSP and added them back to back and curled their petals.  A simple pearl in the middle and the sentiment finished off the card.  I then walked away lol!

All products will be available from my store on 1st June!  Not long now!
