OOPS!

When I saw the Ways to Use It challenge yesterday on SCS, I just had to play. I've had Unity's woodgrain BG stamp for awhile now, but I don't remember ever using it. The first layer is popped up from the base card. It's so strange for me not to use ribbon. My card feels 'nekked'! LOL!

Stamps: monkey (CC Designs), woodgrain BG (Unity), sentiment (TAC)
Paper: kraft, close to cocoa, pretty in pink
Ink: black, close to cocoa, Copic markers
Accessories: brads, square punch (for the tag), SU large oval punch, pop-up dots

I've been very negligent of updating my blog. I have been making cards, but not enough gallery time... at least not as much as I'd like. Here are some great cards I was able to see.

CASEing the Featured Stamper

SCS Featured Stamper ~ ravengirl

Question: Did you stack the cups or is the image already made with the 4 cups together?
Actually, I'm not sure. A stamping friend sent this stamped image to me in a card. For some reason, I assumed it was a single stamp of 4 cups. Now, I'm not sure. Good question!

I don't like coffee, but I love tea! I received from a stamping friend quite some time ago.

SCS Featured Stamper: ravengirl
Yeah! I could have copied her cards all week if I had time. :) I'm so happy to have her be a part of the CAS design team this season.

*I used kraft, black & white, but I changed the green to a light blue/turquoise color.
*I altered the layout a bit.
*I used the same image.
*I used dp instead of crimping regular cs.

Here's Toni's card I cased.

Stamps: Flourishes
