Another CAS-ual Fridays Card

Made one more card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week. I created an origami sailboat using paper stamped with the  Hero Arts newsprint background and red paper. I used the My Favorite Things Die-namics Wonky Scallop Border to create ocean waves and finished with a sentiment from Bring on the Sun by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday.

CAS-ual Fridays #60 Card

This week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge (#60) is to use text on your card.

I love the versatility of the Hero Arts newsprint background stamp. Using Hero Arts mid-tone inks, I stamped the Lawn Fawn Dad’s Day tie onto cardstock stamped with the newsprint. I adhered that panel to cardstock stamped with Hello There from the Hero Arts Hey Dey Sentiments set. That panel is adhered to a card made from Hero Arts layering paper in latte. I finished the card off with Divine Twine and a Bo Bunny button.

Newsprint Kites Card

This card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #37 didn’t end up the way I initially envisioned it. My first attempt using the Lawn Fawn “Sunny Skies” stamp set included two kites and a sun, but I just couldn’t get the design to hang together. So naturally, I added more kites!

I stamped white cardstock with the Hero Arts Newsprint background stamp. Next I stamped and embossed the kites and the tail pieces on the background stamped paper. Finally I used a variety of Tim Holtz distress inks to color the kites.

Supplies: Lawn Fawn Sunny Skies; Hero Arts Newspaper Background S5601; Versafine + Versamark inks; Tim Holtz distress inks; Hero Arts white embossing powder; Ranger clear embossing powder; Bazzill string; MFT banner die

 

Simple Scrapper July Templates Day Two

This month, I did a fair amount of scrapping with the Red, White and Blue color scheme, including a layout for the Simple Scrapper’s July challenge Design Team article, which I’ll share next week.

My two-page layout using templates from the July Simple Scrapper release documents time spent on Martha’s Vineyard in the late 1990’s. These photos were taken with a film camera and scanned for the digital layout. The release includes grid templates that can easily be paired with focal photo templates, as I’ve done here. I think it’s evident that my sons enjoyed the countless hours they spent on the dock of the home we rented in MV.
