CASEing Pinterest

I was on Pinterest the other day and saw a card that looked interesting, It was non Stampin'UP! using ink from a different company. I decided to play with the idea. For all of the pictures I used the following reinkers in the order listed. Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Gumball Green

The first image they were dripped on Glossy White, the second on Whisper White and the last on the Canvas sheet.

Here are the cards

• The card bases are Whisper White layered with Tempting Turquoise the Basis Black the inked papers are popped up with Dimensionals.
• The phrases are from Perfectly Penned and stamped with Stazon.

I may try these again but have the ink running down the front.

Perfectly Penned Out West

• Card base is Crumb Cake with a front of DSP Mocha Morning. 
• Very Vanilla and Early Espresso CS were run through the Big Shot with Framelits Labels, The Very Vanilla was sponged with Soft Suede with Thank you from Perfectly Penned stamped with Soft Suede.
• The boot and hat from Out West was stamped in Soft Suede onto Crumb Cake and cut out and popped up with Dimensionals. 

Perfectly Penned

One of the girls that went to school with my daughter just got married her colors were red and silver. For her shower I gave her a card keeper and a collection of cards, along with general occasions I made a  dozen Thank Yous.

• Card base is Whisper White, with a front of Real Red.
• A layer of Whisper White sprayed with Frost Shimmer Paint Spray was ran through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines folder, leaving the top 1 1/4" out.
• Using Versamark and Cherry Cobbler embossing powder(mixed with fine red glitter) I stamped the Perfectly Penned thank you in the top flat space.
• I wrapped a 1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer paper around the Whisper White at the break line.

Simple and Masculine

I needed some quick to make Birthday cards, this is what I came up with.

• Card base is Whisper White, with a front of Early Espresso 
• A piece of 3 3/4" x 5" Whisper White, place about 3 1/2" in the stripes folder and run through the Big Shot.
• Using Early Espresso ink I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfectly Penned in the flat area.
• Knot a quilted Early Espresso ribbon just under the words and layer onto the front.

Pretty quick to make.

Have a wonderful day!

• The card base is Whisper White with a front of Rich Razzleberry.

Bridal Shower Thank you cards

My daughter Jamie's Wedding colors (in Stampin' UP names) are Elegant Eggplant, Handsome Hunter, Night of Navy and Not Quite Navy, I made the cards with a random combination of those colors. The card above is Elegant Eggplant, NQN and Handsome Hunter.

• The card base is Naturals White
• The fronts were stamped with Hello Doily inked in Versamark and embossed in White.
• The Thank you from Perfectly Penned was stamped in one of the four colors on a strip of Naturals White then the end were punched with a corner of the Curly Label Punch, I added a Pearl on each end.
• I Ran Naturals White through the Big Shot with the Ovals die using the largest of the ovals. I also ran the four colors through using the oval the next size down.
• All my colored Card stock was sprayed with Shimmer Paint Spray.
• The two ovals were layered onto the card front and then the phrase was added, I used two Dimensionals stacked onto each other in the center of the phrase and a glue dot on each end.

So the Wedding is now 17 days away. I am busy making some of the table decorations and still making arrangements for some of the things we thought were taken care of- but the people that were supposed to do it flaked out(photographer and cake decorator)

This week end will be the second blog hop! We will be showcasing the Holidays, so make sure you check in on Saturday it will be fun to see what everyone has come up with.
