The challenge is to CASE (copy and share/steal everything) which is something I did for the first time and it was fun. I prefer making CAS cards and I was fortunate to find Diana Nguyen's cards in the ODBD gallery which I cased today.
CARD 1:

Supplies used:

Die cut swirls sent as RAK

twine

CARD 2: 

Supplies used:

Embossed panel sent as RAK

hearts - recycled from a self print card

Love to your SMILE

Hi!
    A happy Sunday to you all. I'm here to share a CAS card I'd made a few months ago. I just wanted to make use of the ribbon and tag stamp that were in my stash for over two years and this is what I made.

Supplies used:

Stamps - Studio G

Ribbon - Creating a Crafty Life Etsy shop

Distress ink - Rangers Mustard Seed

3D foam tape

The tag was cut after stamping it separately, the ribbon looped through, then adhered with foam tape. 

    What do you think of this card? Em! I didn't quite like it, but could not think of any other way of using the tag stamp in the CAS style. Looking forward to your valuable comments.

Merci

Hello friends!
    I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I had to attend weddings on four successive weekends last month and was relieved to have the last one free and to spend some time crafting. Here's what I made.

Here's a close up of the butterfly

Supplies used: 

Merci recycled from the Merci chocolate box see image HERE

Gold strip under the merci recycled from the side of a gold bar chocolate box see image HERE

Anita's outline stickers - gold butterfly

parchment paper 

felt tip pens

    The butterfly outline sticker was placed on the parchment paper and coloured on the reverse and only the body & antennae were adhered to the card. A tiny butterfly sticker was used after the letter 'i' to cover up the 'R' trademark symbol that was there.

Thanks for visiting. I'll be back soon.
