Goodness!  This week has really flown by and I haven't had a chance to check in with you guys at all!  Thank goodness for a slower day today so I can sit down and say, "hi".  I hope you all are having a wonderful November.  It is amazing to me that December is just a couple days away.  Guess I better get going on my holiday prep!

I hope you are all ready after a fun two week challenge to get back to things at CAS(E) this Sketch.  I had fun creating this sketch and a blast making my card.  I can only hope you will feel the same.  Here's my card:

I had a ton of fun with this card.  I used some awesome Lil' Inker Designs products to cut my triangles then I attached them to a strip of paper before slicing that down the middle and reversing the colors on one half.  I used a pastel version of rainbow colors and once I got everything rearranged, I attached both halves to the card front which is a grid patterned paper from an older Avery Elle paper pack that I can't seem to find anywhere.  I finished it all off with a sentiment stamped on a strip of white card stock added to cover my seam.  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you'll make the time to come join us at CAS(E) this Sketch.  Have a great day!

Thursday, Thursday!!!  I always love Thursdays because I get to share my take on the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge with you.  I really loved today's sketch and I hope you'll come play along with us this week. 

Here's what I came up with:

I decided to go with triangles like the sketch so I cut various colors of paper with the Dual Stitched Triangle Dies.  The arrow triangle is cut from paper in the Tribal Chic Paper Pack.  I cut a cute striped kraft bag to make my background and layered my triangles on the bag.  Then I cut this cute friend die and added it to my triangle layers.  I finished the card off with a sentiment from Sketched Floral Stamps.  Super easy and fun.

Hope you like my creation for the week an will join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch!  See you there.  Here's what I used on my card:

Hi, you guys!  This is the second post using a sketch on my blog this week.  I'm super excited to share this week's sketch with you but I hope you'll check out my other post below using last week's sketch.  I'm on a masculine card roll!  

I just love showing off the CAS(E) this Sketch challenges each week.  We all have so much fun and I sure hope you guys do too.  This sketch is awesome and you must go check out all the design team members' takes.  You won't want to miss them.  Here's my take on the sketch:

I started this card with a fun patterned paper from Tribal Chic Paper Pack.  I used the Dual Stitched Triangle Dies to cut a triangle from the patterned paper and filled it with a matching card stock color.  Next, I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts Stamp and Cut Happy Stamp and attached a happy die cut from metallic red to my triangle.  Simple and easy for a quick masculine card.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  I'll see you over there.  Here's what I used today:

CTS #169!

Good morning!  Wow, my blog has been busy this week and today's no exception.  Today, I get to share my take on the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge with you guys.  I hope you'll enjoy it.  You absolutely must visit our challenge.  The design team outdid themselves with this sketch and our guest designer...wow!  So, make sure you head over to CAS(E) this Sketch.  Here's my take on the sketch.

Since I've been playing with loads of Lil' Inker Designs new release products for the last few weeks, it's no surprise that I jumped to them when I saw this sketch.  I started by adding some texture to my teal card stock with the new Cover Up Die: Tribal Chic.  I just love those arrows!  I used the Dual Stitched Triangle Dies to cut two triangles from the card base and filled them in with some patterned paper from Tribal Chic Paper Pack.  Next, I cut a large Triangle and stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts Stamp and Cut Happy Stamp and attached a happy die cut before popping it in the middle of my other triangles with some foam tape.  I added some puffy stickers and sequins to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  I'll see you over there.  Here's what I used today:

Lil' Inker Designs April Release Day 3!

Well, it's the last day of our new release hop at Lil' Inker Designs and I'm super excited to show off these last couple products.  Hopefully, you started out at the the Lil' Inker Blog so you don't miss a stop on the hop and have come here from the amazing Joy's blog.  If you are feeling a little lost, make sure you hop back to the Lil' Inker Blog to get back on the trail of fun.  You can also check out the Lil' Inker Store where all of the new release goodies, and a whole lot more, are ready and waiting for you to put in your cart!

My first project is a glimmering birthday card created using Cover Up Die: Tribal Chic, the Tribal Chic Paper Pack, and Clean Lines: For the Guys Stamps.

This card started with the amazing Cover Up Die: Tribal Chic and a shiny piece of gold pearl card stock.  I love the impression of these amazing arrows.  Next I took a sheet of paper from the Tribal Chic Paper Pack and cut a portion of the design out to go across the card and add a little extra flair.  Next, I cut a piece of navy card stock with a Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles Die.  I stamped and embossed the birthday sentiment from Clean Lines: For the Guys Stamps in gold on the rectangle and popped it up with some foam tape.  Then added a glittery star and some enamel dots to finish it all off.  Here's a closer look:

My next card uses the amazing Dual Stitched Triangle Dies, Tribal Chic Paper Pack, and Clean Lines: For the Guys Stamps.
 

I had so much fun picking and choosing papers from the Tribal Chic Paper Pack to cut with the Dual Stitched Triangle Dies.  So many great patterns!  I just love them all.  I took all my triangles and arranged them in this fun design.  I finished it off with the birthday sentiment from Clean Lines: For the Guys Stamps.  Can you tell I like that sentiment?

I hope you enjoyed my creations and will join the rest of the team on the hop.  You'll want to leave comments along the way because Laura gives out a $15 Lil' Inker Designs store credit to a lucky commenter each day of the hop.  It could be you.  I hope you enjoyed out new release!  We love sharing these awesome products with you!  Be sure to keep hopping, here's the list:
