I needed a quick thank you card for my club hostess from Friday; she made me this cute little pin from a bamboo placemat slat (among many other things):
so I checked the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast to see what I could come up with! The challenge is to use pink or coral with Kraft and another color of your choice. I had been wanting to do a pink Trendy Trees card, so the FIRST one I came up with was this:
I do like this, but it really doesn't fit my definition of clean and simple. So I revamped it down a bit:
Plus I got to use my fun Funky Forest wheel on this one! It is definitely clean and simple! So I am not sure which one I will send her. This is something else she made for us:
It was so big it wouldn't fit on my counter! And it was yummy!
Hopefully after all my boring chores and paperwork I will have a little more time to stamp today! Thanks for coming to visit me!

ReplyDeleteSoooo I was wondering how I could make one like this and realized I don't have this set or wheel. I do however have the cupcake wheel and Crazy For Cupcakes set. I see a cupcake card coming on!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are gorgeous!!!! I love that pink and kraft together and you really do make CAS look like a piece of art. That cake ain't bad looking either ;-)

Hi Rollercoaster (didn't have your email address)!
ReplyDeleteThe pin is stamped on polyshrink plastic, colored, cut out and shrunk down with a heat gun, then mounted on a piece of bamboo cut from a place mat. There are holes in the pieces of bamboo where they are woven together; that is where she put the curly wire.
The dessert is a strawberry shortcake...it was long and narrow, not sure what kind of pan she baked it in, but it had a cream filling and strawberries in between ! Yum!
