CAS(E) this Sketch #227 - enjoy your journey

I made a card to remind myself last weekend - Enjoy your journey.
I sometimes get caught up in busyness, and forget having fun with the process...

The inspiration of my card is N@ Ali's sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch (#227). (Unfortunately I missed the entry deadline this week...)

                            (inside of the card)

I created the sentiments using MS Word (font: Watermelon Script), and printed them on the panels.


Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Basic Black (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up! - World Traveler), Dies (My Favorite Things - World Traveler, Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Rectangles), Glossy Accents (Ranger), Nuvo Crystal Drops (Tonic Studio - Gloss White)

Thanks for visiting me today!

CAS(E) this Sketch #226 - miss you

One of my best friends is going back to Tokyo this week, and I'm going to miss her and her family (especially her little girls) so much! We had farewell brunch together last Saturday, and I made this card for them. The colored drops are teardrops of my heart... 😢 

The bright side of the card is that I was selected as a My Favorite Things' new product launch prizewinner, and received a generous coupon earlier this month. I used the coupon and got this versatile Color Drop stamp & die set and other goodies. This is the first card I made using the new color drop set.

Donna's sketch was perfect for what I wanted to make today!

I made a DIY stencil using the Color Drop die, and sponged the drops with distress ink. I die-cut a vellum drop and layered it over the blue drop. I stamped the labels in VersaFine Onyx Black, and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.

Stamp: Label Maker Sentiments (My Favorite Things)

Paper: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Vellum (Stampin' Up!)
