So let me show my second inspiration card for the month of November...

To make this card,  I used Shery Russ Designs - Hope Blooms and Mixed Media Elements stamp set. The card was fun and easy to make. On the card base, I added the Damask patterned paper panel and took a water color panel and tore it along the edge. I then did some watercoloring and stamping on it with some mixed media stamps. On another watercolor panel, I stamped the blooms and water colored them as if the colors are dripping, adhered it all on the card base.

To make this card,  I used Dee's Artsy Impressions - Santa is here  stamp set. The card was fun and easy to make. On the card base, I added the Christmas patterned paper panel and also stamped the "HO" sentiment from the set on this panel. Next I cut out a frame with my dies, stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the Santa and adhered it all on the card base to finish my card :) I am sharing this at City Crafter challenge Blog #286 - Getting ready for Christmas, Christmas Card Challenges #49 - Anything Goes and Time Out Challenges #43 - Christmas

I had so much fun creating my Hero theme card:). Here's my card...

To make this card, I die cut the alphabets hero multiple times (using MFT Little Lowercase dienamics) and layered them to create some dimension. I also die cut the heart (using CFS Shuffle Fri-dies) and layered it the same way. I also inked the heart and added wink of stella on it. I stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the bird (using POD Robin) and stamped the remaining sentiment (using ME in my heart set) and adhered it all on a white die cut panel (using SSS double stitched rectangle dies)

CASEplorations #10 - Suchi Paithankar

Hi friends! it's time for CASEplorations inspiration post at STAMPlorations. On the first of every month, the STAMPlorations girls share CASEs of some of our favorite cards - maybe even one of yours. Be sure to stop by the blog  for the seventh installment of CASEd inspiration.

CASEplorations will serve as a starting off point for our Inspiration Project Posts. We show you how we CASE a card so you can, in turn, CASE the inspiration cards we share throughout the month. You can find more details HERE.

Our artist for the month of November is the very creative and fabulous Suchi of Suchi's Cardstock. You will love her beautiful and unique cards. So let me show you her beautiful card (click HERE to see her original post) and my CASE...

I got inspired by the text, colors and die cut bird in Suchi's card, here is my card...

I started out by die cutting stitched edge panel of text patterned paper (using SSS Double stiched rectangle dies), then I stamped the flowers and leaves along one corner of this panel (using Dee's Artsy Impressions - Frames and flowers). I then diecut a Heart note Fri-dies from CFS over the stamping and layered under it, three more black card stock die cuts to add dimension. To finish it I adhered it all on card base and stamped the sentiment :)

Here is a closeup...
