Speech Bubbles Birthday Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Yesterday, Monday, January 20th, 2020, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Speech Bubbles Birthday Card. :o)

To make this card I CASEd my own card that I shared here on my blog in April 2016 (here).

I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a speech bubble from 'Read All About It' and a sentiment from 'Anemone'.

How I made my card....

I stamped speech bubbles directly on a white top folded card base.

I stamped the speech bubble in black on a black cardstock paper, cut the speech bubble shape out while the ink was still wet and heat embossed the sentiment in white on it.

Then I glued 3-D foams on the back of the speech bubble and glued it on the card.

As a finishing touch, I embellished the card with enamel dots in  three different violet tones and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements:  95 mm x 133 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Read All About It' stamp set (speech bubble)
• Jane's Doodles 'Anemone' stamp set (sentiment)
• white cardstock paper

White Snowflakes Christmas Card - Croatian Sentiment (CASology Week #359)

Hi everyone! :o)

My 2nd post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.


Last Tuesday, January 7th, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Repeat. :o)

I didn't have time to write blog post on time, but there's still time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, January 20th, 2020, 9 AM, CST (UTC -6). 


And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), White Snowflakes Christmas Card. :o)

Design defined: 

An otherwise busy background can work in CAS design by using white on white & a very simple pop of color.

How I made my card....

I went with die cut technique on my card. My repeat element on the card are snowflakes. :o)

I die cut snowflakes on a white cardstock panel. I glued 3-D foams on the panel and glued it on a  same size white side folded card base. I glued a white cardstock panel, slightly smaller than the card base, inside the card to make the card sturdier.

Then I wrote a sentiment 'Sretan Božić' on my computer using Impact Label Font, printed it out on the white cardstock paper, cut it out, colored edges with a black marker and got a lovely label, as if I had label maker. :o)

Sretan Božić means Merry Christmas on Croatian. :o)

Lastly, I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the label, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

I really like how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements: 124 mm x 95 mm (4 7/8" x 3 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Wiler Creativity Cutting Dies (gift from a dear friend Alice of Scrap & C... THANK YOU ALICE!!! ♥)
• Sizzix Big Shot
• Impact Label Font (Important: Read licences before downloading.)
• white cardstock paper
• Stabilo Fine Tip Pen 68/46 black
• Uniball Signo White Pigment Ink
• UHU liquid glue
• 3-D foam squares (5 mm x 5 mm x 3 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• printer
• bone folder
• scissors

I hope you'll like my card for this challenge and get inspired. For more inspiration, check out  cards my Design Teammates and our Guest Designer created. Do join us in this challenge, we are looking forward to see your CAS creations. :o)
