CASology: We Go Together

by May Park- August 27, 2013

Hi everyone! I’ve had a cold for a couple of days and spent most of my time in bed. I definitely wasn’t in a good condition for card making. Then this morning a little lightbulb came on in my head when I found the cue word: Book at the CASology challenge. I didn’t want to miss the moment when my creativity was waking up. So I dragged myself out of bed and pulled out my supplies.

Here is my card that literally features a “book.” Right! I made a mini book using some paper from My Mind’s Eye. I cut the 6×6 paper into 6 pieces and darkened the edges of them using Blending Tool & Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then I scored each paper in half and threaded them with brown string.

After that, I stamped one of cup images from Fiskars Latter Love and created a cup of hot latte with paper-piecing technique. Next, I placed it next to my book using some dimensional adhesive. Then I added the sentiment from My Favorite Things on a strip of kraft cardstock and put some eyelets on both sides as an interest. To finish off my card, I drew dash lines around the card base using a brown marker.

I love the way my card turned out. The book really goes together with a cup of coffee in my page. What do you think? Hope you like it and get some inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Very cool book indeed! Nothing better than a nice well-worn book and a cup of coffee in hand! I hope you are feeling better…maybe you should be in bed with a good book and a steaming cup of tea! Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!

What a fantastic idea!! I love your book and may just have to borrow that idea! It would make a great card for our daughter and her husband who are writers. Thanks so much for joining us at Word Art Wednesday. I hope you’re feeling better by now.

Very ingenious way to make a mini book! Picked your card out from the MIM submissions because I could tell it had a nice clean design and I love kraft paper cards. Really nice job!

This is just ADORABLE, May! You are so clever, and I just love the way you made the book look SO real, and of course…..you CAN’T read a book without having your coffee. So, this is just perfect, and OH SO SWEET! I really think it’s creative and super cute. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week. It’s SO nice to have you play along with us in our challenge this week and I hope you’ll join us again soon, Great job!
