PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - My Choice 2

Welcome to our last day of CASEing fun!  Today is my pick and I am excited to have picked this card by my blogging friend Barb.  I was so excited when looking through the PaperCrafts March/April 2012 issue and saw her name!  She is such a great card maker and all around nice person. 

For my CASE of Barb's card, I decided to keep to the layout and the bright colours alongside the black.  I opted to create a piece of designer paper using stamps and ink.  I found some of my favourite Hero Arts flowers and filled up a page. 

I know the card base looks brown but in real life it is black like Barb's card. 

Okay, now to see what Lindsey did with this awesome card.  I think she had some awesomness up her sleeve....

Thanks for dropping in to enjoy our CASEing fun.  Remember to leave us a link to your blog if  you decide to play along with us.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - Lindsey's Choice 2

Welcome back to our second week of CASEing cards from the March/April 2012 copy of Papercrafts Magazine.  Lindsey and I really enjoy doing this and there were LOTS of great cards to chose from in this issue.

Here is Lindsey's choice:

I opted to keep to the sense of the card ... strips of colours and a verticle element on the left side of the panel.  But as you can see, I did go out on a limb a bit.

Wouldn't this be a great card to give to a young boy or girl for their birthday or just to tell them how proud you are of them!  The gourmet sucker is added to the card using removable glue dots. 

Okay, now ... I have been dying to see what Lindsey had in store for this card. Gotta run over to her blog Bashful Blogging and see what she did.

If you too want to play with us, CASE this card and leave a comment with a link so we can check it out.

And finally, drop back in tomorrow to see the card I picked and our CASE of it.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - Lindsey's choice

I knew you'd come back!  If you missed yesterday's CASE cards, make sure you go to my post yesterday and check it out.

But today is Lindsey's pick and she chose this stunner by Sarah Jay (on page 22).  She particuarly liked the technique.  Now, there are really 2 techniques here ... the shadowed sentiment as well as the masking.  I opted to use both and keep my card very similar to the original.

However, I decided to go with a different colour combination. 

I chose some of my favourite flowers from various Papertrey Ink sets. 

and here is a closer up of the shadow sentiment.  To create it, I stamped the sentiment once and then moved the image slightly to the right and stamped again (2nd generational stamping).  The stamp set is from Lawn Fawn.

Okay, now off to see what Lindsay did with this CASE.  I'm always so excited to see what she has created.  And don't forget to leave a link in a comment if you decide to play along with us.

And we are planning to post again next week on Thurs and Fri more CASE cards!  See you then.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - My Choice

Lindsey and I are at it again!  We have picked cards from the magazine Paper Crafts (March/Arpil 2012).

Today is my pick and I just had to choose this one by Jaclyn Miller (page 52).  Such an amazing layout! 

So for my card, I kept the layout and the polka dots ... and changed a whole bunch of things.

And now off to see what Lindsey created using this layout.

Wanna join us??  If you have the magazine, why not give this CASE a try.  Just leave us a comment and let us see what you did with it.

And don't forget to come back tomorrow when we will both show you CASE cards based on Lindsey's pick.  It's a good one!  You won't want to miss it.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - Lindsey's choice 2

Hello again!  Glad to see you back.  Today's card is choosen by Lindsey.  Check out that beauty.  I too almost picked it so was totally pumped to see that Lindsey had.  That ribbon behind the element is awesome!!  (see pg 26 by Vivian Masket)

So I kept to the overall layout, changing the colours and card theme.

This great flower is from a sticker sheet (BasicGrey).  The ribbon is Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is Papertrey Ink. 

Okay, now off to see what Lindsey created with this awesome card.  I know she had a particular ribbon she was going to use on this card.

Hope you enjoyed this CASEing fun.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE My Choice 2

Hello and welcome to Lindsey and my second week of CASEing cards from the March/April 2012 issue of PaperCrafts Magazine. 

Today's pick is mine ... and I had to choose this awesome flag card by Teri Anderson.  You all know how much I adore these flags that are so "in" these days!  (see page 46). 

I obviously kept all the flags, but adjusted the colours and added some additional embellishments.  I like how the broken sentiment worked out (by Hero Arts). 

So there is my card, now off to see what Lindsey created as she CASEed this same card.  I can't wait to see myself!! 

And don't forget to drop back tomorrow to see what card Lindsey picked this week ... and what we both did with it.....

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - Lindsey's choice 1

Lindsey and I decided to have some fun again CASEing cards from the March/April 2012 PaperCrafts Magazing. 

Today is Lindsey's choice (see page 29 by Angeline Yong Jeet Leen)

I focused on the general layout....

These apple stickers are from the Picadilly paper pack (BasicGrey), which I ADORE!!!  Very little stamping, just the lovely sentiment (from Autumn Abundance, Papertrey Ink).

Now you need to head over to Lindsey's blog to see what she did with this inspiration card. 

And, don't forget to drop back in tomorrow for my CASE choice.

PaperCrafts Magazine CASE - My choice

Hopefully you are joining me today after seeing our CASE card yesterday.  My blogging buddy Lindsey and I are having fun again casing cards from the Dec./Nov. issue of PaperCrafts magazing.  Yesterday was Lindsey's choice.  Today it is my turn and I picked this great card by Beth Opel on page 48.  I loved the ribbon treatment!!

I chose to focus on the layout and other than adjusting the size, kept pretty close to this original.  Obviously I decided to go with a different colour combo.

The ribbon and cardstock are both Ocean Tides ... one of my favourite colours from Papertrey Ink. See that pretty punched border ... it is from one of my previous Secret Sisters! 

Now I have to go see how Lindsey interpreted this card.  Did she choose to go with the colors, layout, or did it inspire her in a whole different way???  Off to see.....

If you want to see what we did last few times, check out these posts HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. So much fun!!

Casing Paper Crafts Cards

One of my blogging friends, Lindsey, mentioned that she had the same Paper Crafts Magazine (Sept/Oct) so I asked her if she wanted to have some fun.  We would each pick a card from the magazine, both use it as inspiration, and post our creations on our blogs!  This was a blast!!

Today we are showcasing Lindsey's choice.  She picked an increadible card by Katie Gehring called Autumn Button Tree Card (seen on page 52).  It is so rustic and full of yummy fall colours. 

I focused on the layout, the polka dot ribbon, and the tree as the focal image.  Here is my card:

Now you must go see what Lindsey did using this same card for inspiration!!  And if you feel l'ike being inspired by Katie Gehring (or mine/Lindsey's cards) feel free to give us a link in the comment section so we can come take a peek!!

And make sure you drop back tomorrow to see what card I picked from the same magazine and what we create with that inspiration!!
