Foiled Happy Birthday Card

I am trying to go more clean and simple when it comes to cards I am planning to mail and  list on my Etsy site but still stay try to my design style. This card I am about to share with you today was based off the #181 CAS(E) card sketch that was revealed last week. 

   I am absolutely in love with this card. When I created this I had in my mind that it will be sent to my grandma next month for her birthday. I am sure she will love it. Of , I even did a matching envelope seal. 

 Supplies cardstock (American Crafts), washi tape (The Paper Studio), embossing folder (Project Life), ink (Umbrella Crafts and Tsukineko), die (Heidi Swapp) manual die cutter (Spellbinders), stamp (Stampabilities), punches (EK Success), foil (Heidi Swapp) and foil adhesive (Deco Art)

   Here is a closer look. Since I don't have the Minc I just covered a piece of cardstock with the foil glue and let it dry before applying the foil. I then just man that foiled paper through my die cut machine. 

 I love all the embossed papers on here.

Stamped Hello Card

   Today, I am going to share a quick card I created with a card sketch #177 from CAS(E). 

 This is sketch inspired me at first when but a few days later when it was time to create I was scratching my head like what am I going to do with this since there is so much "white" space and my style is all about the layers. To remedy that problem I just added a large focal image to the blank corner.

Here is my take with the added me to it. I also created a matching envelope seal.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Fancy Pants Designs), inks (Close to  my Heart, Umbrella Crafts and Tsukineko Memento) stamps (Studio Calico and Stampabilities), liquid glue (Ranger), stamping tool (MISTI)  

   First, I have to say is I am in love with the MISTI and my mom (who only crafts once a year) actually tried it and loved it. It is so making me want to use my stamps more. Anyways, I loved how this card came out and I actually used quite a large variety of stamps on this. To add a little more flair to this milk bottle I applied glossy accents to the stamped bow.
