Perfectly CAS - March 2020 Challenge

Hi guys

I'm here to introduce the March challenge at Perfectly CAS...



The rules are simple, we want to see you using die cuts while keeping your designs to just one third of the card or less.

I chose to use some die cuts to create the laser cut effect...


This took a little measuring and lining up but wasn't too difficult.  I began with two strips of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment along the edge of one of them.  I then die cut the Gardenia die twice, laid the strips down upside down and adhered the die cuts across the gap on the reverse, thereby creating one complete panel.  I laid the strips onto my glass mat and use those guidelines to keep it straight.  I then adhered a strip of patterned paper behind the die cuts and trimmed off any excess of the paper and die cuts.  The panel was then popped onto the card base using fun foam.

Materials used:
  • Die: Memory Box - Gardenia
  • Stamp: Clearly Besotted - A Little Sentimental
  • Patterned Paper: First Edition - Wildflowers

Seize the Birthday - Surprise Party Guest! (Final Week)

Good afternoon, crafters

Well today is my last post as your Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday and I've had a wonderful time joining the Design Team for these five challenges.  Thanks to the team for making me feel so welcome and to Nancy for inviting me :)


The challenge starting today is Anything Goes and there's no optional 'Topping' this time so as long as your creation has a birthday theme you can play along!



So, I'll get straight to my card, here it is...


I remembered watching a video by Jennifer McGuire a couple of years ago where she created faux laser cut cards and wanted to do that for this card.  You can find her video here.

Instead of using a coloured card base I marked through my aperture where the circle would be and blended a background with three Distress Inks and then splattered with water to create some interest.  I stamped the happy birthday around the curve of the aperture and then adhered some die cut flowers to the reverse of the aperture to create the faux laser cut look.  The panel was then popped up on fun foam.

Materials used:
  • Ink: Distress Ink - Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Dies: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Circle Stax; Memory Box - Gorgeous Gardenia Outline
  • Stamp: Altenew - Beautiful Lady
