CAS(E) This Sketch! #263 Guest Designer!

I'm thrilled to be guest designing along with the Chrissy Larson and her super talented design team at CAS(E) This Sketch! this week!

My circle is inked with Salty Ocean Distress Ink before the Wplus9 sailboat die cut is adhered with foam dots.

A line of ocean waves washi tape is added to both the card base and the angled panel, with the sentiment stamped onto the tape with Archival Ink.

I hope you are inspired to play along with CTS #263 this week!

Thanks for stopping by,

Papertrey Ink August 2014 Blog Hop

For the Papertrey Ink August 2014 Blog Hop, Nichole Heady gave us a beautiful inspiration photo of Kate Spade stationery. I'm a huge fan of Kate Spade's clean & simple, colorful & graphic style, so am excited to play along.

How perfect is the Tickled Pink sentiment for this brightly colored card? I based my cards on a couple of other Kate Spade pieces: a black & white striped notebook and the box for her All Occasions card set.

                                          


The two were mashed together to create a couple of cards. This first one uses the smaller Building Block dies to make the stripes.

The strips are mounted onto a narrow piece of Hawaiian Shores cardstock and then mounted onto a white card base. A simple sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages is stamped with Delicata Gold ink.

This second card uses the larger building blocks and a sentiment from These United States stamp set. The stripes are popped up over the green panel with foam adhesive to add a bit of dimension.

I'm looking forward to see how everyone else was inspired by Kate Spade!

Thanks for stopping by,
