CAS(E) This Sketch: An Amazing Birthday!

It's time for a new sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!!  If you started with me, you have to pop over to the CTS blog and see the wide variety of cards that the design team created out of this basic sketch....


I started my card with the sentiment - the sketch is such a great opportunity to showcase those big, bold sentiments that don't always fit on a card.  After I picked the sentiment, I didn't really have room for twine or ribbon or anything for the vertical strip - so just did some random scoring - I like how this worked.  And I have a big, bold birthday sentiment - I needed some balloons, right??

Amazing Birthday


I hope to see you playing along - I am really excited to see what everybody does with this particular sketch!

  • Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Happy Every Day
  • Paper: Stampin' Up Island Indigo, Pure Poppy, Kiwi Kiss, Cool Caribbean

    I love your colorful balloons and your embossing is fabulous! Thank you so much for your inspiration!

    I read your post about the fires nearby your home...please stay safe, and I will keep all of those affected by it in my thoughts and prayers.
