Hi there
This week at Just Add Ink the challenge was to Just Add Kathy Tanner. I had never seen Kathy’s blog so my first task was to check it out – Kathy’s blog is now on my list :). After checking through her posts for 2011, I had a list of favourites then I had to narrow it down and settled on two.
The first is for my nephews 21st next month:
I instantly fell in love with the bright colours Kathy had used. I’m sure this card will be made again. It’s a great way to use up the offcuts we all seem to accrue. I’ve used a retired stamp set Starring You with white embossing powder.
Supplies:
Stamp – Starring You (retired)
Card Stock – Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Other – White Embossing Powder, Big Shot, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Die
My second card is a sympathy card – had to make 3 this past weekend 🙁 I find it hard to get the right layout that reflects the tone of the card but I think this layout has worked well. Check to see Kathy’s original.
Supplies:
Stamp – Pocket Silhouettes, Thoughts & Prayers
Card Stock – Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla
Ink – Elegant Eggplant
Other – Perfect Plum Taffeta Ribbon, Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder
Thanks Kathy for giving us so many ideas.

These cards are so different, but both gorgeous! I am sure that your nephew loved it too. I always find it hard to make masculine cards but this one is perfect for a male 21st. Thanks for joining in with us at Just Add Ink 🙂
Both cards are very different but very nice for both respective occasions. Thanks for playing along at Just Add Ink this week.
Wow Paula you've done a fabulous job of CASEing these cards. I'm rather keen on that 21st card too – always such a difficult thing for the males in our lives. Thanks for playing with us at JAI this week.
They are both gorgeous Paula, l am partial to the 21st card with it's lovely bright colours and also anyone that produces a great young male card gets bonus points from me..:0)
Thanks for joinig in with our casing Kathy challenge at JAI.
Paula, both of your cards are fantastic – I love them! Might just have to CASE these 🙂
Oh they are both fantastic….so different and appropriate. I like them both. Chantell JAI
both your cards are great but i do love the 21st card with all those colours . great job paula
Paula, both of your cards are wonderful.
It's very hard to make a guy's 21st card and you've made a fantastic one! Love all the mats you've used on it.
The second card is also one that is hard to do. I think it's perfect. Great colour choice and it's serene looking.
Thanks for playing along with us at JAI this week, I'm glad you found something of mine to case.
