Just PIGcause!

First challenge of August on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is "Friends."  This is a great reason for you to create something to send to a special friend in your life.  And I'm sure they would love to find something fun in their mailbox! 

For this card, I chose an adorable pig and sentiment from the Punny Pals stamp set and paired it with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch (CTS 233).  A piece of patterned paper from the new Basics Fundamentals has the perfect words for a "friends" theme.  A stamp from the versatile Splash of Color set was used as the 'ground' under the little piglet.  

  

All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Live Beautifully

Just a quick card inspired by this week's sketch (CTS222) on the CAS(E) This Sketch blog.  Lovely gold flower paper from the Live Beautifully packet are the base of the card, with a sentiment from the Live Beautifully stamp set.  A slice of gold ribbon and some embellishments complete the card. 

The special Live Beautifully papers and stamp set are specially designed for National Scrapbooking Month, and are only available through the end of the month (May 2017).

Keep Dreaming

"Clean and simple" cards always appeal to me, and this week's CAS(e) this Sketch! (CTS182) is a really nice simple sketch.  Using a card base of Desert Sand cardstock, a bit of watercolor was washed onto some watercolor paper using the new Medium Flat Waterbrush.  An adorable turtle and sentiment from the Outback Adventure stamp set were stamped using Memento Black ink.  After stamping a couple of turtles onto a piece of White Daisy cardstock as a liner for the inside, the card is complete and ready to brighten someone's day.

Stamp of Approval

Spent the day visiting and creating with a friend, and created this fun, friendship card following this week's CAS(E) this Sketch (CTS158) blog.  The stamp image from Stamps of Approval is embossed using Silver embossing powder, and papers are from the Regatta kit.  A standard paper punch was used to create the curved notches in the ends of the paper strips, and two Triangle Stud embellishments were used to mimic the triangle design of the stamped image.
