 CAS492 -It's Elementary, my dear Watson
Many in my family have driven school busses over the years. My sister is not only a driver but a mechanic. I recently got this die cut because I figure she could come up with someone to give a school bus card to if I made one.
Die cut the bus then cut off the base so I could pop it on dimensionals. Added high lights and sponging to the bus, windows and finished with the die cut SCHOOL.

Week of 7/28/18 cards

 FS598 - Today's featured stamper is Jill aka JD from PAUSA. She has an amazing gallery of cards to inspire. I found this CARD.

This has been an incredibly difficult week with good friends passing, relatives and friends relatives. I am not sure that I have ever needed to put together so many sympathy cards in one week.

I was inspired by the CAS style card of Jill's card. I did not ink up the folder just embossed and layered and added the sentiment. 


CAS Sympathy
 CAS491 - Plaid

I am still working my way through the stash of stuff that I want to get used up and came across these sewing images and thought they were perfect for the CAS challenge. They each have just a touch of plaid and I added a quilt emboss folder with more plaid in the BG.

Each of them have a few layers on the images to give them a 3D effect and I am happy to have the cards made and these off my desk.

Thank You Sew Much
 MMTPT522 - Use Only 3

Stamped the flower with blue ink on the flowers and green ink on the stem and leaf. Die cut the sentiment and finished off with sequins.

Sympathy
 WT698 - It's Hot & Sticky

Stamped the house mouse image and colored with copics. Die cut the image and layered on dimensionals. Finished off with the star sequins.

The Tassel
 F4A440 - Winged Things

This Heartfelt Creations card is a card kit. They are no longer selling the card kits so I am putting them in my pile of stuff to use up this year and get made. They come already cut and with a layout all you need to do is color, shape and put together. So while they are already cut and you have a layout there is still a bit of work.

Colored the flowers and shaped, sponged the edges and layered, finished off with prills and glitter.

Birds of a Feather
IC660 - Plow & Hearth where I found this great PILLOW

I am trying to use stuff up and these Green Duck Embellishments are the last set I have to use. When I saw the pillow it reminded me of the super leaves in these embellishments.

Layered the bear embellishments on the extra leaves with dimensionals then stacked the layers. Finished off with ribbon.

In Selma's card her paper had tiny black triangles. I die cut the BG with a diamond cut and layered on dimensionals. Used an oval frame as Selma had and popped it on dimensionals. Finished off with a lace ribbon and flowers.

Mr & Mrs
 MMTPT521 - Troubled Waters

Cut down the DP and popped the frame on dimensionals. stamped and colored the flamingo, shaped I mounted on dimensionals. Stamped and cut the flowers, shaped, added prills and finished off with glitter.

Cheery Hello
 SC706 - Today's Sketch

This card is from one of the Card kits from Heartfelt Creations. They come stamped and cut which saves some time but you still have to color, shape, mount and add glitter to complete them. So while they are already stamped and cut there is still a bit of work to put them together and I always love how they come out.

Sponged the edges of the papers and mounted. Popped the circle image on dimensionals. Glued down the sentiment and lace border. Colored, shaped and glued the flowers. Finished off with the glitter on the flowers.

The butterfly was an after thought. I accidently dropped some glue on that corner and messed up the paper. So us crafters what do we do, we improvise and I think this turned out perfect and it worked for the sketch as well. 

Butterflies
 WT697 - Be a Happy campers

Stamped the sentiment and die cut, left in die cut and sponged green. Embossed the shoe prints on the craft, cut down layers and added a few leaves from my scrap bin.

My MIL needed a few hiking thank you cards for her hiking friends and these are totally her style card.

Hiking Thank You
IC659 - US Mint Sheets Site where I found these Lacy Stamps.

A couple of weeks ago I got a call for some birthday cards and they needed them right away. When I went to my stash I found that several family members had raided all my birthday cards and I was completely out. Well I have been working on rebuilding my birthday stash. Seeing the lacy stamps made me think of this CARD with the lace trimmed edge. I am also trying to use up these dimensional flowers in my stash.

Punched the lace border and mounted on colored CS, die cut the sentiment strips and mounted on dimensionals and finished off with the flowers.
