Case Cards

I cased these cards from a card I saw on Pinterest here..http://3umbrellas.blogspot.ca/2014/03/case-this-sketch-69.html and I absolutely love them.   They were super simple one layer cards using Avery Elle stamp set which doesn't seem to have a name.  I stamped the sentiments with black memento and then used Simon Says Stamp ink called twirling tutu, jellybean, lavender, hydrangea and lake shores.  I decorated inside each of the cards and the envelopes.

I made this card for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week using pool party, wonder wisteria and daffodil delight.  I used the SU Stamp set called Secret Garden for the flowers, Curly Cute for the sentiment and the heart is from a Simon Says Stamp set called Hello Beautiful.

Muji Paper Block

I have been having trouble uploading my photos and so I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to my paper block.  As you can see I have stamped a small image in each of my inks from Simon Says Stamp on this block and although it's not clear I have also written the name of each colour.  It is just a simple and small way of carrying my colours with me.

If you haven't been in a Muji store yet, it is really worth the visit.  They have a little bit of everything but there stationary and organization  products are really cool (and functional).  If you are in the Toronto area, there is one at the Atrium on Bay just across the street from the Eaton Centre and one in Square one.

I was away at a quilting retreat all last week and didn't have anytime to put together a card for this weeks challenge so I just made this this morning.  It's two of my favourite colours, Sahara Sand and pretty in pink.

I decided once again this week to make a second card for the PPA295 colour challenge.  I used a die from Simon Says Stamp called Single Roses.  I used bermuda bay card stock for the flowers and I didn't have any cucumber crush so I used an old Stampin up paper called gumball green for the leaves and crumb cake for the frame.  The sentiment is Stampin Up set called Thank you and Hello.  I hope you like it.

Muji Key Ring Memo Block

I found the coolest thing at Muji the other day.  They are little paper blocks on a key ring.  I am going to use them to keep track of all my stamp pad colours...one per manufacturer and a single colour stamped and labeled on each page.  They cost a dollar each and are going to be very handy while taking up very little space.  Check back later to see my finished blocks.

Once again I have made an entry for the the Pals Paper Arts Colour Challenge this week.  I used a MFT things die called Fresh Cut Flowers in the challenge colours, crumb cake, bermuda bay and cucumber crush.  I fell in love this die when I saw some cards using it by one of my favourite bloggers, Im in Haven.
