C.A.S.E. A Card Blog Hop

Welcome to the 

Remember the old kids game, Telephone? You know the one where a secret is told to the first person in line and then they tell what they think they heard to the next person and they tell the next person and so on and so on.  At the end of the line, the person says what they heard and the first person tells what they originally said and laughter erupts because the two things are nothing alike. 

Well today's hop plays that game, but with card making instead of secrets.

This hop is un-like any you've probably ever been too. 

We took one card created by Theresa from Scraps by gracie and sent it to the next blogger who then C.A.S.E.d the card (copy and steal everything) and sent her card on to the next blogger who C.A.S.E.d it and sent her card to the next blogger.  You get the idea. 

When you are done hopping you'll see how different or maybe how similar the last card is to the first.

So let's get hopping.

You should have arrived here from Jessica's blog.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop click on the blog logo above to be taken to Theresa's blog .

Here's Jessica's card:

Here's what I did:

Ingredients in my card:

Stampin Up: scallop punch, With love stamp set, Sassy Salutations stamp set, Dusty Durango pen and paper

We R Storytime Gretel paper, both sides

White card stock

Recollections glitter pen, mint

Creative Memories Square punch (to banner the sentiment)

Quick Quotes Sunset & Tahiti chalk inks

Don't forget to follow and comment on each of the blogs to be entered into the prize drawing.  Theresa is giving away a great goodie box filled with crafting making supplies.  Winner will be posted on Theresa's blog on Wednesday and the winner will have 7 days to claim their prize.

Quick Quotes Gypsy Road Masculine Card "Chase your dreams"

Good morning Quick Quotes readers!  Alicia with you today to showcase some more Gypsy Road collection.  I have a teenage son and I have been wanting to make him a card with the brick side of the Gypsy Road 200 paper ever since I first got my hands on it!  I also used a few other papers from Gypsy Road collection.  I ripped, inked and distressed them with a distressing tool for a youthful, urban masculine card for my son.  I primarily inked with Midnight Confessions PowderPuff Chalking Ink but I used the Maraschino Cherry Powder Puff ink to color the chipboard frame as it matched the bricks the best.  I used some great sentiment stickers from the Gypsy Road Die Cut Sticker sheet and finally I added some burlap trim, brads, and a strip of washi tape to finish it off.  All that is layered on black card stock.  I must not forget to add a liner to write on, I often find myself picking up a card where I have waited to make the liner is to be able to stamp a quick "happy birthday" or "congratulations" inside.  But I should make them when I create the card to insure matching papers. I could give this card for a number of reasons stamping a more specific sentiment inside.

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch

I recently participated in a "get well" card kit swap.  This is what I did with one of the kits and the latest Sketch N Scrap card sketch:

I am sorry I don't know the details of the contents of the kit, I just found out it was my friend Nichole, one of the organizers of our little Facebook group.  I did add some old Creative Memories vellum, the rest of the pieces all came with the kit.  It is really beautiful and I am going to send it to my grandmother.  

Here's the Sketch N Scrap sketch:

Make your life a Fairy Tale! Embossed background card

I made this card as part of creative crafty endeavor.  My friend, Theresa made the background and sent it to me.  I made backgrounds and sent them to her.  We made the cards live as part of an online crop.  I love the iridescent sparkles on the kraft paper!  I stamped one of my favorite new sentiment stamps on a marbled paper and die cut with a Spellbinders nestablities.  I used the new Quick Quotes Sky Blue chalk ink.  I added some K & Co florals, bling and an American Craft ribbon.  I think this will be great for a spring wedding card.
