Reverse Confetti CAS(E) This Sketch #132

I liked this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge so much, I created another card with the sketch using Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts!

CASESketchPosies

I stamped images from the Reverse Confetti Petals ‘n Posies set with pigment inks and cut them with their corresponding Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from Peacock Pretties and cut it with a die in the Stitched Flag Confetti Cuts set. I cut the cardstock frame with a square die inside a rectangular one. The frame is adhered to the blue panel with dimensional adhesive for some depth.

CAS(E) This Sketch #132 Guest Designer

I’m delighted to be a guest designer this week for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #132.

Here’s my take on the sketch featuring a combination of Taylored Expressions die cuts:
CaseThisSketch-132-JM

To begin, I created a frame panel by die cutting with a nesting die. Next, I cut the Taylored Expressions Beach Border, onto which I had heat embossed the sentiment, and trimmed it, taping it to the back of the frame panel. I added the die cut sandcastle and flip flops to the beach border with dimensional adhesive. I adhered a yellow panel onto the heavyweight card base for the background. To finish, I adhered the white frame panel to the card base with dimensional adhesive.

Supplies: Taylored Expressions Beach Border, Hangin’ Out at the Beach (sentiment)

Reverse Confetti Concentration/Memory Card Game

Today, I’m sharing a card game project created with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. The game is “Concentration” (also known as the “memory game”) and requires pairs of cards.

I chose eight pairs for a total of sixteen cards. I stamped animals from the Later Alligator, Monkey Business, Leaping Lions and The Tweet Life stamp sets onto colored cardstock.

Concentrationstamping

Next, I cut the animals with their corresponding Confetti Cuts sets. I also cut sixteen playing card bases with the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts die from heavyweight white cardstock. The die cut is the perfect size for playing cards and the woodgrain gives a great texture. I adhered the animal die cuts onto the backside of the cards.

Concentrationcards

To play the game, the cards are flipped so that the images are hidden. The first player flips over two cards attempting to make a match.

If the player doesn’t make a match, the cards are turned back over and the next player tries to make a match.

If the player makes a match, that player wins the pair and gets another turn. The player who makes the most matches (and collect the most pairs) wins!

Taylored Expressions Sunshine

Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed card featuring Taylored Expressions die cuts.

SunshineTo begin, I cut the Rolling Waves in two shades of blue and adhered the waves onto the orange card base with dimensional adhesive. I tucked the sun into the corner, attaching it with dimensional adhesive. I cut the Pool Party border in white cardstock and adhered the Sunshine die cut in the corner with Tombow glue. I attached the border onto the waves with dimensional adhesive. I would love to be in this scene right now! Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
