CAS(E) this Sketch: You're So Cool!

It's time for a new sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!  It has some very fun angled panels.


I have recently been ruthlessly purging my stamps and stamp supplies, but I've been following the advice of Susan at Simplicity who says she puts things in a box for six months and if she hasn't needed them in those six months, it is time to get rid of them.  One of the things that I just stuck in a box was a tool that was popular some years ago, but I haven't seen much of lately - a paper crimper!!  I love how it turned out for my snow drifts.  So this tool - that I hadn't used in probably four or five years - went in the six-month box, but got pulled out less than a week later.  I think it's safe!

You're So Cool

The stamps are Critters in the Snow by Lawn Fawn.  I would have said that I was only recently converted to Lawn Fawn - but in the midst of my purge this last week, I found this set hiding in my older Christmas stamps!  I guess I knew about them earlier than I thought!

I hope you play along - I am excited to see what everybody else creates with those angled panels!
  • Stamps: Lawn Fawn Critters in the Snow
  • Paper: Stampin' Up Coastal Cabana
  • Ink: Stampin' Up Coast Cabana, Memento Black, Copics, Versamark (to apply heat/stick and glitter)

    Please! You did that with a paper crimper? I assumed you had scored all those lines. I have to try that, it's genius!! Especially since I think I got a wonky crimper a decade ago when they were in ... I put the paper in straight and it goes cock-eyed every time. Now I will use it perfectly for off-angle cards! Squee! Hugs, Darnell

    Great idea to use the crimper for snow banks!! I have seen quite a few cards lately using for a heart or other small accent.

    I think you are going to be single-handedly responsible for a crimper resurgence!! Darling card.

    I'm so glad you pulled your paper crimper out before it was too late...it's perfect for your snow drifts! I love the 'critter' hanging out by his igloo, too...such a fun take on this week's sketch!

    I love this card, especially because you used a paper crimper...genius. I was just looking at that tool last week thinking maybe it was time to go...but you may have changed my mind. I think my crimper is safe for a while long, too. I'm sure he's thanking you. :)

    Great idea of those panels!
    To get rid of stuff is a good thing, but I'm afraid I'm too attached to collecting all things crafty! :-)
    You know, they might get in handy some time, as you noticed yourself!
    :-)
    Bye,

    Hello Kim. I just love the way you used a crimper to interpret the design and to add texture on this adorable card. My blog exploring has been very limited, but I love to see how you have grown your wonderful crafting talent over the years. Beautiful work...

    I love the crimps on this card -- I first thought you had used a scoring board. Love it
