Can You Case It #142, A Color Challenge

Welcome back friends!  For the next two weeks at Can You Case It we are having a color challenge.  Thanks Wynne for this stunning color combination.  Check it out right here:

And here is my card:

Wow look at all that sparkle and shine (compliments of Prima and Stampendous products)!  Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co.  Ribbon trim is Stampin' Up and die cut is Sizzix.  I created the background by randomly stamping all over with the same stamp.  Each section was embossed using a silver embossing enamel.  Then I used Blackberry Bliss (Stampin' Up) by way of a wet brush and added more shine with a metallic water color.  The bling I just so happened to stumble upon in one of my drawers; totally forgot I had this.  I had used part of it on some other creation, but had just enough left for this card.  My cards usually don't have a lot of sparkle and shine, but since it's the holidays, I decided to really go for it.  LOL

Let me know what you think.  I really enjoy reading your comments.  Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the rest of the team.  I can't wait to see you what you create as well.

Until next time,
Dawn

Can You Case It #141, A Sketch Challenge

Welcome to this week's challenge!  I just love this sketch.  You can keep it simple or make it elaborate.  Here is this week's inspiration:

                                           http://canyoucaseit.com/?p=3585

And here is my take on the sketch:

I loved this sentiment ever since I first saw it in a kit at unitystampco.com.  It is from their January 2015 Kit of the Month, Magic of Beginnings.  The bottom part of the card was created with the Tim Holtz mesh stencil and Art Anthology paints.  The top half of the card is My Mind's Eye pattern paper that I inked.  The card was finished with three Basic Grey brads and twine.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see your wonderful creations.

Until next time, keep crafting in peace and love,
Dawn

Here is my card:

All of the stamps used in creating this card are from Unity Stamp Company.  I colored this beautiful feather with my new Metallic Accents (Prima) that arrived in the mail today.  My photography does not do these metallic accents justice.  LOL  They are gorgeous!  I pre-ordered them so I have been waiting on them for some time.  They were worth the wait.  Next, I am going to use them on a journal I plan on altering.  The gold triangle washi is Heidi Swapp and I grunged up the card with some metallic rub on inks.

Thanks for stopping by...until next time my lovelies,
Dawn

Can You Case It #138, A Shaker Card Challenge

Hello friends!  This week at Can You Case It, we are mixing it up a bit with a shaker card challenge.  I like shaker cards; I think they are pretty fun.  I enjoy shaking the ones I have made.  I know shaker cards have been around for some time, but I did not make my first one until April 2016.  Yup, at a stamping convention to be exact.  It was a make n take at the Jillibean Soup booth.  It was so easy with the die cut card and shaker (Jillibean Soup).

Check out the inspiration:

Here is my card:

 Supplies:
1.  Embossing folder (Sizzix)
2.  Card base and shaker (Jillibean Soup)
3.  Ink (Stampin' Up)
4.  Sentiment stamp (Stampin' Up)
5.  Chipboard candles (Junkitz)

Thanks for visiting!
Until next time my friends,
Dawn

Welcome back crafty friends!  So glad you are here!  This week at Can You Case It, we are having a color challenge.  Check out this awesome color trio:

Here is my card:

I so enjoy making new baby cards.  It brings back the joy, happiness, and excitement I felt as an expectant mom; a very special time in my life.  A time I will always remember.

For this card I used pattern paper from Studio Calico, rubber stamps from Unity Stamp Co., buttons from Crate Paper, and a felt 3D cloud sticker from Basic Grey.

I hope to see your fabulous creations this week.

Until next time,
Dawn

Can You Case It #136, A Sketch Challenge

Welcome back friends!  This week at Can You Case It we are having a sketch challenge.  Here is the inspiration:

Here is my card:

I have so many butterfly stamps.  I love butterflies; I admire their beauty.  This butterfly is the newest to my collection of butterfly stamps and I think it is my favorite.  I colored this beauty with my Prima oil pastels.  The water colored background was created with Prima water color pencils.  The butterfly stamp is from a set called let adventure (Unity Stamp Co.).  The sentiment is from never regret (Rubbernecker Stamps).  Pattern paper is Basic Grey.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you come back next week.
