CAS Birthday

Happy Friday, peeps!  Yay, the weekend is upon us!  I've been watching Cassidy (well, she doesn't require much watching, if you know what I mean) so my routine is a little different and my stamping time has been a little limited.  Plus the tomatoes in the garden are calling my name, so they're taking up a bit of my time!  But I did get a chance yesterday to make a cute little CAS card for two challenges; the Inspired By has a fun alphabet challenge, and Just Add Ink wants clean and simple:



Cute!  I have had a set of Tim Holtz alphabet dies for a while and haven't given them much use, so now is the time! Here we go:


I took some scraps of Soak Up the Sun papers from Carta Bella and stuck some foam adhesive sheets on the back, then cut them out with the dies. I love the dimension the foam creates!  I added a sentiment from Biggest Wish, stamped in Bubble Bath, then added the Stitched With Whimsey stitching around the edge and a few sequins for sparkle:

A fun sentiment from Picture Perfect Birthday was stamped on the inside.  This will be going to a sweet young lady at our church!

And this is the last of my birthday cards!  This pretty floral is from Carol:


And I knew right away this was Bonnie's beautiful style!


And this beauty is from Beth:


As my friend Karen said, I really stretched out my birthday with all these cards!  Thanks, everyone!  I am so happy you popped by today--enjoy it and be blessed!

  3. You do such beautiful CAS cards, LeAnne! I really struggle with those. Love the papers you used for the "happy" part of the sentiment. The foam really makes such a difference! You make me want the Stitched With Whimsy dies every time you use them!!

  4. I love this fun birthday card LeAnne - those diecut letters make a great impact! Not quite the last of the birthday cards either ... mine was late going in the mail, which allowing for transatlantic post too means you probably still won't receive it for ages, so keep stretching out those celebrations lol!
