Fiona's Notes: I bought magnets from eBay to pop onto the back of these so that they could be stuck to a fridge.  The tops aren't glued down so that the pages can be easily torn off.

CASE Notes: I loved Wendy's colour choices so I stuck with those and her recurring stamped pattern but changed up the theme to stars.

Stamps: Shooting Star, Thoughtful Banners  Inks: Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Versamark  Papers: Whisper White thick, Basic Grey  Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Stampin Dimensionals

Fiona's Notes: At that time I only had last year's Christmas DSP to work with but this card can easily be made using any DSP that takes your fancy.

Yes, another blog hop!  Just to keep you on your tows.  I love doing them because I enjoy the challenge they provide and also seeing what all my team mates choose to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) from the international designer.  So far, no one has chosen the same card as me to CASE so I wonder how long that will last.

Today's hop is with the lovely Dawn Olchefske.  Here's the card of hers that I am CASEing:



And here is what I came up with:



CASE Notes: I drew inspiration from Dawn's layout and the three circles of similar subjects in colour.  I added a different base card colour to pick up on my Cherry Cobbler sentiment.  I think if I had my time over though I would have done some light background stamping.  You can see the scored strip on my card more easily in the photo below.


Stamps: Merry Mice  Inks: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler plus various colours for colouring in  Papers: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White  Accessories: Aqua painter, circle punch, score board, linen threat, dimensionals

CASE Notes: I have based my card on Jennifer's layout and the use of cute animals.  I wanted to make a card that would suit toddler children on their birthdays.  So often there are baby cards and primary school aged cards and the 1-3 year olds get a bit missed out (at least, they do in my card making!) and that's exactly who I wanted to target with this card.

Fiona's Notes: I used glue dots to adhere the little animals rather than Tombow glue or dimensionals because I didn't want them to sit flat on the card.  I think it gives it an element of life (if that's possible for a stamped image!)

Stamps: Made With Love, Confetti Celebration Inks: Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe Papers: Very Vanilla, Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party, Sweet Lil Thing DSP Accessories: Word Window Punch, Glue Dots

Thanks so much for hopping with us today,

Wow I have been so spoilt with more lovely cards from around the globe from those of you who have sent me replies to my RAK cards in June.  I wanted to share them with everyone because they are all so different and gorgeous!

Fiona's notes:

• Stamp off the full circles background stamp at least once (I did it twice) before stamping onto the card.  You don't want the filled in circles to compete with the outline circles.
• The smaller circles are from the Owl Builder punch

Stamps: Playful Background, Sunburst Sayings Inks: Sweet Sugarplum, Dapper Denim Paper: Whisper White thick, Sweet Sugarplum, Dapper Denim  Accessories: 1 1/4" punch,  1 3/8" punch, Owl Builder Punch, Stampin Dimensionals

CASED from: Ruth - thank you so much!
