CAS Bee

Hi Everyone

So I am trying to perfect a "True" CAS card. I cannot believe how hard CAS really is lol!  You look at a CAS card and think there is actually not much to it but there so is!!!

This card is a 5" x 7" and I have used the adorable Bee Happy digital stamp from Craftin Desert Divas which I have coloured using Copics.  I used a rubber stamp to stamp the honeycomb border and coloured this with Copics too.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Inkylicious.  My Stamping as always was done using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.

Do you struggle with CAS like me?  I will keep trying lol! 

I followed the latest sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch

Gingerbread Cuteness

Hi Everyone

It is Tuesday again and that means it is my turn to share some inspiration with you for Digi Doodle Studios 

 I couldn't choose a favourite gingerbread character so I decided to combine three of them into this box card. 

The digi stamps are called Ginger Spice Cupcake, Jack's Ginger Cookie Baker and Jack's Ginger Cupcake  I have coloured them all using Copics.

The patterned paper is from Helz Cuppleditch. I used a die cut Tree and decorated it with Gold beads, clear gems and a Star.  The "Christmas" word die cut is a Cheery Lynn Die.  I finished by adding some Gold Snowflakes.

Green Birthday Wishes!

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 

I have made a very "Green" Gift Bag using the newly released Swinging Ella which I have coloured using Copics

The patterned paper is from LOTV.  I cut the Balloons from Green Glitter Card.  The tag I also cut using a tag die and then added a Silver Peel Off to the front saying "Birthday Wishes"  I attached this using a white glittery thread.  I added some Paper Straws and Paper Flowers and finished with some Green Pearl Gems.  The Happy Birthday I typed on the laptop before printing the image.

Footballer Andy

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 

This card is made using one of the latest releases in the shop called Football Andy 2 
The digi actually comes with Andy kneeing a ball in the air but I cropped the ball and enlarged it and used it as the background!

I cut the circles using GoKreate circle dies and fussy cut the image.  The sentiment I typed on the laptop before I printed the image.

Rainbow Hearts

Hi Everyone

I have a CAS card to share with you today.

I really want to make more "true" CAS cards but they are something I find quite difficult lol!  

This card is a 7" x 5"

I bought a new die recently from Memory Box called Bright Hearts and I decided to try it out.  Well these are some of the bits that are left over when you cut it out!

I coloured the hearts using Copics and added Diamond Sparkles Glitter to some of them.  The sentiment I stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Ink Pad and the stamps are from Stampingallday.

Spring Bees

Hi Everyone

I would like to share with you a card that I have made using the cute Bee Happy Image from Craftin Desert Divas

I have coloured them up using Copics and a white gel pen then fussy cut them with scissors.  I created a background to go behind the die cut flowers using memento dew drop inks and a cloud die which i inked onto a circle cut using a X-Cut Circle Die.

The card design was inspired by Pam Schumacher as she made one for a DT card and I really loved it so I dropped her a note and asked if she would mind if I used a layout similar to hers. She said she didn't mind at all so Thank you Pam!  Here is a link to her blog A Pretty Pink Peony  

I cut the shape out using a Spellbinders Decorative Circle Die and the cute bee paper is a digi paper from ColoriveStudio who have a shop on Etsy which I cut using a GoKreate Circle Die.  The flower scene is a Memory Box die called Wildflower Circle.  I cut this three times and then snipped out the flowers on two of them and layered them onto the bottom one (that still had the flowers) to give extra depth.

The sentiment I typed on the computer before printing the images and I coloured over it with a yellow Copic Pen.  I finished by adding some yellow pearl gems

I seem to be creating lots of things using circles at the moment.  Another crafty phase I seem to be going through lol!
