CAS(E) 29: Make a Splash!

The new CAS(E) this sketch challenge #29 came at the perfect time.

I needed to make a birthday card for a little boy by the weekend.

My card features Lawn Fawn's "Swimsuit Season" 

and Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" paper collection.

I stamp the suit and water splashes and cut them out.  

I added Glossy Accents to the water splashes.

The arrow is made from an MFT die called "Lead the Way".

Thanks for looking,

Sledding Bunny!

Back today with another gift card holder.

This one features Lawn Fawn's "Winter Bunny" and Frosties". 

The snowflakes were embossed with white powder.

The bunny was colored with Copics and has a dab of Perfect Pearls on his tail. 

Bit of Stickles on the snow.

 

 The inside has a pocket for the gift card.

I *think* that is a Hero Arts sentiment.

 

 I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp: Christmas

Jingle Bells: A December to Remember

Lawnscaping:Make it Shine  (Stickles and Liquid Pearls))

Soccer themed card

I feel like I am knee deep in soccer pictures from last fall.  

My old camera died back then and I purchased a new one....

Lots of pictures were taken and developed so I could see the results, how they looked when I blew them up, etc... LOTS..
Now I am trying to go through them to make one two-page layout... hard to narrow them down!

Anyway, I am sharing a card I made to thank the Little Kicker coaches for their time.
The team was lime green so I wanted to use that color in the card.

I cut the soccer ball from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge.

Other Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Twine: the Twinery

Punch: EK

Stars Embossing folder

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Sports/Patriotic theme challenge

Here's our Matty Moo at age 4 1/2 having fun at soccer last fall:

My Quinn's ABC set was ruined after I made the first one

L23, SSS, WM78: Wine Tag

Howdy!

Sharing a wine tag featuring Lawn Fawn Stamps and Echo Park paper.

Both pieces are reusable.  The wrap is held on with one glue dot and can be slipped off.

I had so much fun making this tag. 

I had two goals when making it.

I didn't want to be limited by the size of the tag (overhang)
and I wanted to USE product (stop hoarding).

The ribbon on the packages were paper pieced and

jazzed up with Stickles and Glossy Accents. 
The little red gift is raised with dimensional foam.
