Green Kite Card (CASology Week #365 mid-inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

Last Tuesday, March 31st, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Kite. :o)

I took some time and skipped three challenges, but I finally managed to create something for this challenge. Due to some unexpected work-from-home situation and deadlines I had to meet, I didn't have the time to prepare my post on time, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration. There is still plenty time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, April 13th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -6).

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), masculine, Green Kite Card. :o)

Design defined: 

Paper piecing works well with CAS cards.

How I made my card....

This card was so easy and fun to create.

For my card I used stamps from Paper Smooches ' ' stamp set and Lawn Fawn patterned paper.

I stamped a kite and a sentiment in black directly on a white top folded card base. I drew kite's thread with a fine liner and stamped bows in black along the line. I colored the kite and bows with a black marker. I also stamped background clouds in grey.

Then I stamped the kite and bows on the patterned paper, fussy cut all pieces and traced edges with the black marker.

I glued all pieces on the card base over the black colored parts and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements:  mm x  mm 

List of supplies:

• 
  
• white cardstock paper
• Sakura quickie glue pen
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder

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)

In the Clouds Squash Album

Hello everyone :-D

Here I am with my second post today. 

One day I was on DCWV Diary blog and I found this great post, Silky Smooth Banner & Invitation. Very beautiful project. That inspired me. I had to make something with that super cute airplanes using template generously shared in post.

I made Squash mini Album, that was a gift for my best friend who had a baby boy. I didn´t want to share it until now, because I didn´t want her to see it before she receives it. :-D

This is the second Squash Album I made and it is called In the Clouds Album. Enjoy the video. 

In this video I used music from a very good friend of mine, very very talented mister, dr.Izzy. I used part of a track Cloud Chaser (Neblak Hunter mix). This was inspiration for an album name.

Back Cover

Construction of Squash album is made from card stock paper and album covers from thick cardboard and card stock paper.

Squash Albums have back and front side. Many ladies, whose albums I saw on Internet, don´t decorate both sides of album, but I like to use all space in this lovely and fun construction.

I made all embellishments using templates and card stock paper and decorated album with them. I made supplies list below, so you can easily find these cute templates. All templates are printed in various sizes. I made my own hand drawn template of the boat inspired by many patchwork sailboats on Pinterest. I didn´t use any template for kite. I made it as I liked it. Very easy to make and will sure share short photo tutorial soon here with you. :-D

Album dimensions are 6" x 6" and dimensions of covers are 6 1/4" x 6 1/4".  It can handle up to 30 photos, or more.

I also made 6 little tags shaped as clouds and hoot air balloons using templates. Tags can be used for notes or small photos.

List of supplies I have used in this project: 

• thick cardboard 
• card stock paper (white, yellow, red, 4 blues, green)
• crepe paper (white, yellow, orange) 
• origami paper (yellow, orange, blue)
• self adhesive paper (white) 
• 2 push pins (red) 
• embroidery thread (yellow, red, green, blue) 
• Airplane and Clouds template from DCWV Diary

• hot air balloon template 
• pencil

I hope you´ll like it. I really appreciate your kind feedback. :-D
