JAI #525: Just Add Thank You

 Hi!


Thank you for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge - with 'Thank You' being key words! You see, this week we are challenging you to add Thank You to your cards. We all need thank you cards on occasion - right?


Even though a thank you often goes hand in hand with a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates, I decided to go in a masculine direction for my card.

I have had these Tim Holtz Gearhead dies for quite a while, but haven't used them much. I thought that this would be a grea opportunity. I love how the die makes a corner piece from the cogs. I cut the two pieces from some Brushed Metallic Cardstock and then layered it over some retired Golden Honey SDSP.

The layered 'thanks' dies are from a Uniquely Creative set called Sweet Sentiments. The top layer was cut from some more of the metallic card, with a Basic Black layer underneath.

A third cogs die cut finished off the inside, with a sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments Builder stamp set, designed to coordinate with the thanks die on the front. All in all, it's a fairly simple card - it took me longer to pop out the pieces from the die cuts than it did to put the card together - but sometimes simple works best!

Please head on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll see the rest of this week's gorgeous Design team cards. You can also enter your card in our challenge. Who do you need to say 'thank you' to?

Bye for now,

CTC #264 Week 1: A Masculine Twist

Hi!


Waa hoo! It's Sunday evening, so that means it's CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop time! Have you arrived here from Sandra's blog? Or are you starting here? Either way, just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started. Too easy!


This fortnight we start a new challenge, and it's giving any January-June Mini Catalogue project a masculine twist. Yay! I like making masculine cards!


After a short perusal of the catalogue - I only got to page 12 - I found this cute card with the hearts behind the sentiment panel. I loved the simplicity of this card, so I kept the same layout for my card, I just switched for masculine elements.

I started with a piece of Golden Honey DSP. I thought the black and gold stripes were perfect for a bold, masculine card. I mounted it on a slightly larger piece go Basic Black for stability and then popped it up on my Basic Black card base using Black Dimensionals. I looooove black Dimensionals!

I cut a heap of gears/cogs from Gold Foil paper and adhered them flat to my DSP. The Tailored Tag punched shape was popped up over the top using - you guessed it - black Dimensionals 😂 I also used a few of the circle pieces left over from the cogs to decorate both the sentiment label and the DSP.

I used a left over strip of the DSP and some Gold Foil to finish off the inside. The sentiments, both front and inside, are from Seaside Notions. I love the typewriter-ish font for masculine cards.

Our challenges are Facebook based, so all you need to do is join the group, if you're not there already, and then upload a photo of your card for each challenge to the group. Too easy!
