CASual Friday - Simple Card by Donna Gray

Hi everyone,

It's Donna here today with a CAS card for you featuring my favourite little birdie who's from the Whimsical Summer stamp set.






I used a 5x7 card for this as I wanted something with a little more 'height' so birdie could have a little more room for his swing seat!!

I stamped all the images which are from the Whimsical Summer set (apart from the word) onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper, coloured them in with my beloved Zig Clean Colour pens and then fussy cut them out.

I added the cloud first which I added foam pads to the back of to give it that bit of dimension then with a black fine liner pen I drew in the 'rope' to join the swing to the cloud. I added all the other images to the card using more foam pads apart from the twig as I wanted that to sit flat.

Speaking of the twig, do you know that it's actually taken from the tree in the Whimsical Summer set but I just cut around the foliage on the tree to leave the twig....clever huh?!

As a finishing touch I added the word 'Awesome' from the Beautiful Words stamp set as I think it's pretty awesome that birdie has managed to make himself a swing hanging from a fluffy cloud ;)



Stamps Used:



Beautiful Words


Whimsical Summer



Hope you like it
Donna xx

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...
