WWC60 - Marsha's CAS Birthday Challenge

Marsha gave us a Clean and Simple(CAS) challenge with a birthday theme.  What is Clean and Simple?  A design of a card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments, most often single layered or minimal layers.

Here is my card. I used two colors, Rose Red and Whisper White and the stamp sets Remembering Your Birthday and Birthday Blooms.

Check out what the artists at Watercooler Wednesday  have created then create your own project and link it to that post so that we can see your creation.

Card in a Box

For club we made birthday cards in a box. On of my fellow blog hoppers shared the instruction on her blog.

We followed her instructions for the shorter box/card.

• The box is Island Indigo CS with Daffodil Delight and Raspberry Ripple CS for the panels
• The banner is Gingham Garden Washi Tape
• The phrase on the front flap is from Label Love and colored with markers before stamping with Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple and Crushed Curry, it was popped up with Dimensionals
• All the sayings and the cupcakes are attached to Window Sheets. the sayings came from the following sets: Bring On the Cake, Remembering Your Birthday, Just Saying and Tag It they were cut out with the Word Bubble Framelits

My son saw it and asked if he could have it to give to his girlfriend on her birthday.

My daughter came from California to help out for a couple of weeks while her dad, my husband, had both of his knees replaced. she made this for her friend back in California.

We had fun making them.  I made the first box in more manly colors for my boss for his birthday, he loved it!

Remembering Your Birthday -masculine

I made a masculine birthday card using the same sentiment as my last post.

• The card base is Whisper White CS.
• On the upper right corner I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed it with Early Espresso Embossing Powder.
• Using the Hexagon punch and Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Baked Brown Sugar CS I punched a stack of shapes.
• I popped the Hexagons up on the card with Dimensionals. 

Fast and easy!

Remembering Your Birthday

Back to making birthday cards and playing with Washi Tape.

• The card base is Whisper White CS I cut 3/4" off the bottom of the front,
• I used the Calypso Coral Washi Tape to make the border at the bottom I tore piece approx. 2" long and folded the so that there was about 1/4" of the sticky side showing. Starting at one side I taped the Washi Tape overlapping the bt about a third each time.
• I wrapped the stripped Washi Tape around the card base covering the edges of the Coral tape. I made the bow by folding the tape in half and then making a loop with it pinching it in the middle and wrapping more tape around it. I folded another piece in half and flagged both end of it, than layered the loop on top of it.
• From scraps of Calypso Coral CS and Crisp Cantaloupe CS I punched hexagons than added them to the card base.
• On a scrap of Whisper White CS I stamped the sentiment from Remembering Your Birthday. I inked the stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe ink coloring the word celebrate with the Calypso Coral Marker.
• I cut the sentiment out with the Chalk Talk Framelit, popped it up with Dimensionals and added two Calypso Coral Candy Dots.

I had fun with the Washi Tape and have another birthday card to add to my rack.
