Ribbon Panel Card

On Wednesday I was able to attend a Stampin Up class at Julia's place.  We made a lovely ribbon panel card.  It was a fun card to make.  It was a little fiddly weaving the ribbon and we had to make sure we kept the same cross over pattern on the front and back, but in the end it was well worth it.  I have kept the middle panel blank to write a message on.  I had fun using the Stampin Up coordinating bird and flower stamps and punches to decorate the card.



Supplies:
Cardstock: Lucky Limeade
Paper: PDS paper from the 2011-2012 colour range (Lucky Limeade)
Ink: Calypso Coral & Lucky Limeade

Stamps: Language of Friendship set
Punches: Bird Builder & Boho Blossoms
Other: Zutter, Calypso coral ribbon, Framelite dies

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.  Have a great weekend.

A CAS bird card

Usually my style consists of cards with lots of layers.  Recently I have seen lots of CAS (clean and simple) cards as people are taking part in the online CAS class.  I saw Sue's post with her lovely bird CAS card which she is entering in the Less is More Week 50 - One layer bird challenge.  I struggle with having lots of white space on the card, but thought I should have ago.  I liked the idea of making something for the Less is More challenge, but the only bird stamp I could find was a very small one.  The stamp is from Inkadinkado clear stamps Garden flower (97616). Hopefully it still counts.  I stamped it many times until I came up with something I was reasonably happy with.  Here are two cards to show you.  The first one I will enter in the challenge.

Card No.1



Card No. 2



After looking at some of the other cards in the Less is More challenge, I saw a card featuring an owl.  I suddenly realised that I have some owl stamps from The Craft's Meow so perhaps I will have to try and make another CAS creation.

The CAS online card class still goes for another week and  it can be done at anytime, although I know that doing it now at the same time as others is probably better.  Perhaps I should look at taking part and learn some new techniques for CAS cards.  I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on my two cards.

Thanks for dropping by.
