RI CASE Wednesday - Karen

 

Hello and happy Wednesday everyone~

It’s time for CASE Wednesday Challenge from Repeat Impressions!! This time we are casing one of the cards by Karen ! I love her sense of humor and her cards are always beautifully done!

Please visit RI blog, The House that Stamps Built for more detail about the CASE Wednesday challenge.

 

Here is Karen’s card we CASE:

 

 

Here is my cased card:

I took the inspiration from the colors and the designer paper. I used Comfy Cat (6220-L) for the main image. I colored the cat with Copic markers but the pillows and blanket were paper pieced with the designer papers. The sentiment, No Outfit… (2815-H) was stamped on the lower left corner and dressed with the fringe border, fabric flower and swirl rhinestones.

RI CASE Wednesday - Harriet

Happy Wednesday everyone~

It’s time for another CASE Wednesday Challenge from Repeat Impressions! This time we are casing one of the cards by Harriet! I love her CAS style and how she uses stamps beautifully.

Please visit RI blog, The House that Stamps Built for more detail about the CASE Wednesday challenge.

 

Here is Harriet’s card we CASE.

 

Here is my card.

As you see, I rotated the layout for the stamps I used.  I stamped Underpants Frogs (7120-L) for the image and I used the coordinated poem stamp, May the Light … (7007-J) for the sentiment :) The image was colored with Copic markers. I kept Harriet’s CAS style and I really like how the card was turned out! To finish off, I embellished with pearls on the ribbon border and punched border.

RI CASE Challenge Wednesday–Robin

 

Hello everyone~

Wow!! Texas got coooooold!! Hope you all are staying warm…I know many of you even got snow/ice a lot repeatedly. It’s one tough winter for all over the place! Fortunately I still have an electric power and get to write this post :) I have one card for CASE Wednesday Challenge from Repeat Impression!

This time, Robin has a card for CASE! The challenge submission will be accepted until Tuesday, February 15th at 5PM EST over the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built. Hope you have a time to play along with us!

 

This is Robin’s gorgeous card we case :)

 

Here is my take on CASE-ing!!

 

I used Vase of Tulips (1317-L) for the image and Thank you… (2524-F) for the sentiment. The image was colored with Copic markers and sponged the mat with ink …just like Robin’s. I also cased the mix of the designer papers, pink ribbon with embellishments, the color combination and the wonderful layout! Ahhhhh I just can’t wait the spring time!!

RI CASE Challenge Wednesday–Joy

 

 

Happy Wednesday everyone~

It’s time for CASE Wednesday from Repeat Impressions!! This time, we are casing Joy’s card on the below! The challenge submission will be accepted until Tuesday, February 1st at 5PM EST over the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built. Hope you have a time to play along with us!

 

Here is Joy’s card we are going to case.

 

 

I love Joy’s clean & elegant style. So, I kept the clean look & the combination of two different DPs for my card. I used Swan Love (4321-J) and Love, Hugs… (2509-H) and I colored the swans with the inks using blender pen. There are the tiny heart images between the words but I decided to use the pearls to match the swan instead. I used Webster’s Pages designer papers for the BG and simply embellished with the tea roses.

Speaking of casing Joy’s card, I met Joy, Wendy and Bill last Sunday for the first time when I went to Stamp Scrap Art Tour in Mesquite, TX.

Hello and happy Wednesday!!

I’m sure you’re busier than normal right now…and I imagine it’s hard for you to make a time for stamping, lol. However, I have a fun challenge you can play today!! Repeat Impressions is using my card above for the CASE Challenge Wednesday!! Woohoo!

The challenge submission will be accepted until Tuesday, January 4th at 5PM EST over the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built. Hope you have a time to play along with us!

 

 

This card is my last Christmas one for the year but I’m sure I will make Christmas cards throughout the next year so that I have a plenty of them to send! I stamped Do Not Open (8819-H) , Snowflake Solid large (8912-I) and Snowflake Solid small (8914-E) on each circle mat. After I attached those circles the way I wanted to, I simply embellished pearls on the card.

RI CASE Challenge Wednesday

 

 

Hello everyone~

It’s Wednesday and also the week of CASE Challenge Wednesday from Repeat Impressions!!Hope you have a time to join this fun challenge with us :)

 

This week we are casing this card by Michele. Talking about fabulous design!!

 

 

Please visit RI blog, The House that Stamps Built for more information about the CASE challenge ;)

 

For my cased card, I kept the color combo and layout same. I stamped Santa’s Friend (2019-I) and colored with Copic markers. The Santa’s suit, hat and mittens were paper pieced and I added the Stickles on the fur. The round sentiment frame, Merry/Happy Frame (8910-O) was also stamped around the Santa. I thought I needed more color….so I added the scalloped edge ribbons on the borders.
