CAS-ual Fridays card making basics

February 25, 2014 3 comments

Today’s card is a basic one from a basic sketch and it was quick to make. Ideal card making, right?

I made this card from one of the sketches that is available through the Basics & Beyond Online Class .

When I made this card, I scrolled through the 10 sketches in that class, chose one and made this card in less than 10 minutes. The most difficult part was deciding on how big or small I wanted to white layer to be and how to layer it with the Early Espresso and the patterned paper strip.

Measurements:

Card base: 11 x 4-1/4
Early Espresso: 3-3/4 x 4-7/8
White:3-1/4 x 4-7/8
Patterned Paper: 3/8″ x 4-7/8

Supplies:

Calm and Gentle Stamp Set (CAS-ual Fridays)
Cardstock: White, Early Espresso, Rasperry Ripple
Ink: Old Olive, Raspberry Ripple, Old Olive
Accessories: Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper, Small Heart Punch, Rhinestones

I hope you will check back with me tomorrow for the release of the Basics & Beyond Class.

Have a great day!

I like a card that has detail on it so I guess that would be ‘beyond’. It provides me with a challenge and shows the person I am giving it to that I have been some effort into it ‘for them’. I also like a sample card that I know I can get the product for. SU is the easiest way for me to get product but I am using Simon Says more.
Love your card Catherine and look forward to the online series.
