CASEing Lego Card

I recently was exploring the tutorials at Operation Write Home and ran across this cool kid card design to make a Lego card. I thought this afternoon I would try my hand at one too. The information for this technique can be found at Julie's blog http://www.handmadebyjulie.com/ off to the right side. Edit: Her name is Julie Fountain.

I am not sure my card is nearly as nice as Julie's but I did find it fun to create and will use mine for a kid's Valentine design. It was a lot more work than I anticipated though, but since I have grandsons who are crazy for Legos I thought it was perfect for them. It could be also made into a birthday or get well card too for a kid.


I used the sentiment and hearts from the Gina K. Designs Spoon Me set illustrated by Rebecca Oehlers. I fussy cut all those hearts out and popped them. I also used a Spellbinder oval die for the sentiment.

I am going to enter this card in the Mix It Up Monday Challenge at StampTV. And, since I cased that card by Julie I am also going to enter it in the Mod Squad Challenge.

I hope everyone has a good week and can get some creative fun accomplished. It sounds like the weather will remain cold for most of the week, so I am glad I can stay inside and make cards.

OMG, As I said over at STV, I made this card for my grandson's birthday this January. I could have made it so much easier if I had found a tutorial like Julie's. The next time I do one, it will be much better. Lesson learned!

Yay Verna! You did a fabulous job with your Lego inspired card. I tracked down the tutorial and it doesn't sound like an easy one to do, the fractions alone...Well anyway I am glad that you did because you have inspired me too. I have grandchildren who LOVE Lego's and would love something like this. Job well done!
