So, last week Waltzingmouse Stamps held a 3 day event showcasing the new Grand Caliber cutting machine by Spellbinders. All the WMS DT created wonderful projects, and Claire has set us all a little competition - to CASE one of the DT cards and post it HERE, with a chance to win some goodies.
I have chosen to case Lisa Hjulberg's beautiful card:
I used the Sewing Box Hugs set last week for my CR84FN entry and realised I haven't used this set nearly enough! I do love the warm cozy images it portrays.
So inspired by Lisa's beautiful card, here is what I came up with:
I was going to cut a frame as Lisa has done on her card, but it didn't look right for the size of the card I was making, and felt it had to be more central as my card was more of a square shape.
I have stamped a plaid background onto some cream card using Versamagic inks in Sea Breeze, Sage and Aspen Mist. I have only just got the set this is from (Pic-Nic Patterns) last week, and I think I'm in love with Plaid!!
I stamped the heart from Sewing Box Hugs in Aspen Mist twice, and cut the middle heart out from the second, stamped a bit of plaid on it and layered it onto the full heart using foam tape after cutting out the heart using Nestabilities Classic Ovals Small.
Using some kraft card, cut the doily shape using my new MFT doily die cutter, which I absolutely LOVE!!
Sentiment is from Frame -It! stamp set, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, and cut using Nestabilities Small Ovals.
All the edges were edged in Colourbox chalk ink Prussian Blue, and layered onto a cream card base after wrapping some jute twine around the bottom edge.
After layering all together, I couldn't resist some gems on the sentiment and around the doily shape.
Hope you all have a great day, I'm off for a lie-down and some more ibuprofen!

Pauline - this is absolutely gorgeous. The colours are soft and subtle, and I adore the plaid background (you're right it's a great stamp). Hope the migraine improves soon - I know how you feel. Take care.

Super cute cards Pauline! I know Lisa will be thrilled to see your take on her card!
lovely card, the plaid is great! the soft turquoise is beautiful. great job.
I used to get migraines, hated the flashing light effect, have you ever tried acupuncture, I went and haven't had one since! I found certain foods triggered them too. hope you feel better soon!
Love the soft colours Pauline, and the plaid works so well. Love the doily too x
Pauline your card is so pretty! It's a great take on Lisa's card. I hope you're feeling better. Migraines are awful! I get them too. ((hugs))
Your card is super pretty. I am totally smitten with your colour combination. That plaid is to die for! I am currently stalking the postman in hope that my Pic-Nic set makes its way to me soon. I am totally inspired by your card. I hope you're feeling better soon. Migraine are the pits...and then some.
Beautiful card! Love the soft colors and your perfect plaid background.
I hope you are feeling better now. I've had migraine headaches for over 40 years the best pills for me are ZOMIG -only on prescription but they work everytime - downside some small side effects.
oh - i hope your headache didn't keep you down for too long. i love love your lil cute sewing box heart - the card is so sweet. and making your own plaid is always hot :)
Sorry to hear about your headache, hope you feel better soon Pauline!
