CaSE-ing the Catty challenge #10 - Artistic Expression (Minecraft card)

 

When you think of being artistic what comes to mind?? 

Ohhhh I'm not an artist?

I can't draw?

I could never make a card like that?

One of the joys of Stampin' Up! is the ability to make wonderful, artistic projects without all the "worry" that you can't!!! Then when you throw in a CASE there really is no reason to "fail!"

This week at CASE-ing the Catty we are in the Artistic Expression pages 154-175 where there are OODELS of wonderful cards to inspire you!!
I went with a sketch from the card on page 163 (top right, the Gee thanks one) and using my Artistic expression made my own stamp for a Mine craft card ready for my son's birthday next week!!
Image from HERE.
Have you seen the undefined stamp kit?? WOW if you've not then you really need too!! I first saw THIS and then HAD TO get it myself to give it a whirl! I've also made THIS, who knows what the next stamp will be that I'll make!!

 

 transferring the image to the rubber is super easy!

 

What is your artistic flare? Perhaps you'll join us with a watercolour project? Maybe a groovy background..... hope you can play along with us this week!

Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge #236 - Frozen inspired card (Elsa)

 

I'm holding my monthly Paper Dolls stamp club tonight and for this month I really wanted to show case the amazing Undefined stamp set!!! I have to say when I first saw it I thought.... well I don't think that's very cool........ but when I saw THIS I decided to buy one myself and give it a whirl!!!
I'm sooooo pleased that I did!! Can you believe what you can actually achieve with the right tools, the rubber and your favourite image!!!

 

Then all I needed was a great sketch...... thanks to Karen at The sweetest thing she has wonderful card sketches each and every week! This weeks one was a must for my card!! YAY!

Ok, so I knew I wanted a girly card (and a boy card which I'll show tomorrow) and as anyone knows FROZEN is the all time FAV movie at the moment with the most wonderful characters!!! So I found THIS image of Elsa and after tracing over it all in pencil and then rubbing it onto the rubber it was then time to carve!!

 

 

 

 The first stamping...... WOW!!

It certainly was a more tricky one to do but the result I'm soooo thrilled with!!!! YAY!! YAY!! YIPPEE!!! Can't wait to show my fabbo ladies in club, I also can't wait to give this card to my sweet Esther for her 5th birthday coming up in December!! Totally got that one organized......
gotta be happy about that!!
