The CASE of Sweet Sorbet

I can't believe my Spring Break will be over this week... it goes by WAY TOO FAST!  But, so it is... 

I haven't had a chance to get crafty for a few days, but I wanted to show you some cards that I had made in the last few weeks!  I did a lot of CASEing, which I like to do sometimes.  There are so many beautiful cards out there that so many talented people create, and sometimes instead of doing all the work and dreaming up my own, I like to just go ahead and outright copy a card that I already know I love!  

I used alot of Sweet Sorbet DSP and the coordinating stamp set as well.  I sure got a lot of cards made by just using the same paper and stamps  so I didn't always have to clean up my workspace!  Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!

Enjoy!

I honestly don't know anymore who I was inspired by with this first card.  I like to give credit where credit is due, but it's been a few weeks since I made this, and I have since deleted the photo.  If you recognize it as yours, please say so.  I didn't copy it exactly, but pretty closely!

 

This one I was inspired by Cindy Schuster.  I changed a few things to make it mine, but it was largely inspired by one of her Artisan Wednesday Wow cards.

 

Pretty sure this one was based on one of Dawn Olchefske's  cards.

I really don't know about this one anymore.  Sorry!

Same story with this last card too!  None of these are out and out copies though, but I want no hard feelings, so if you recognize anything, feel free to shout it out, and I'll gladly give credit where credit is due!

Take care!  I'll hopefully be back with some more of my CASEd cards tomorrow!

Party Hearty! CCMC272, RS#85

Happy Tuesday... again!  This is my second post for the day... scroll down to see my post for Stampin' Celebration!  I had a little time to make a card while my sweetie was at preschool, and here's what I did!  A card for my nephew who will turn 9 on Thursday!

For this  card I played along with the colour challenge at Create With Connie and Mary and used the sketch from RetroSketches!  It worked perfectly for this card!

I actually started this card in MDS!  I used one of the talking bubbles from the Lemonade Stand stamp brush kit, took the 'party hearty!' stamp brush from the Party Hearty stamp brush set, cropped each word to orientate one underneath the other, made it bigger to fit in the talking bubble (ignored the pixelation warning!  it's totally fine!) and... Voila!  Print! (after changing the colours of course!)  I cut it out using my paper trimmer, rounded the corners and cut carefully around the little arrow thing-y at the bottom!  Then I started using my 'real stuff' to finish it off!  Neat-o, huh?

Check out the challenge sites... they always have great stuff going on.

Hopefully my nephew will love his card... I know he is super excited about his birthday this week!  Nine is super important... next to ten of course, which is double digits!  

Thanks for looking!  Hopefully I'll have some more time later to make yet another card!  Off to pick up my sweetie!

Look Who's Turning Two!

This card is such a cute one.  It uses a fabulous colour combo of Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo.  Great card for a little kids birthday or by changing the colour combo and sentiment it would be a fantastic baby card.  Love those little animals!
