A Case of Casing....

I seem to be having a writer's block, if you will, if you couldn't tell from the last couple of cards.......

Very sweet comments, thank you, but I just haven't been feeling it....soooo, my answer to that is to case some cards until it comes back with such a VENGEANCE!!!! haha!


Here are a couple of cards that I cased from Nichole Heady's gallery, done by Nichole herself. You can see her card here.

This first card I sponged with Brilliance Green ink and used Papertrey Ink's Papertray stamp set. The little flower is GREEN, the same colour as the ink, but naturally, that won't show up properly on the screen!! I just attached it with a turquoise brad.

The second card is basically the same except I used the Happy Birthday from Limitless Labels stamp set.

On both cards I used my Crop-a-dile to emboss some dots, but I do believe that I pressed too hard.......or maybe there is only one setting for pressing.....I am still trying to get used to that crazy thing!


It really looks like something hubby should have down in his shop!! LOL!

And of course, now they have the Big Bite, which Scrappin' Great Deals offers, and it goes in even farther to your card.....so many options!!!

Were you out to the Papertrey Ink release last night?! WOW!! The site crashed right at the beginning so we all hopped over to Splitcoast Stampers and had a little "party" on their site!!

The new stamp sets are fabulous, a long with paper and ribbon and ink oh my!! I maybe able to show you some in a couple of weeks. My budget is absolutely (word of the year) busted!!

LUCKY ME!!
