I’ve been making an effort to make more cards (as in greater than zero) but it hasn’t been going real well. I decided I’d try a challenge. That was months ago, and I finally found a challenge I thought I could handle. So here it is, my entry for the CAS-ual Fridays CSC48 Opposites Attract Challenge. I chose purple and yellow for the color pair (it had to be opposite on the color wheel). This card also features a great new (to me, anyway) Darice embossing folder, my digistamp created for the EK Tools Real Estate Sign Punch (click here for details and to download), and a die cut to make a mat (shadow in diecutting parlance) for the punch shape. I am making the shadow shape available for download in SVG and .studio formats which you might find handy if you have this punch and a digital diecutter. If CAS-ual Friday has brought you to my blog for the first time, welcome! I hope you’ll poke around and enjoy my somewhat different angle on crafting and perhaps come away with a unique tip or technique you can put to good use.
Congratulations on your first challenge card. Thank you for the svg. Unfortunately I cannot download it for some reason.

Myrna,
Sorry you can’t get the SVG. I just logged out and checked both links to make sure I could download both the files with no issues. Try again (click the letters SVG) and if it doesn’t work, let me know what happens (error message, etc) and I’ll see if i can track down the problem.
I love it Kay! You did a great job!
Great work!
Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!

Kay, you did yourself proud with this design. Congrats. Off to take a look at the competition.
Thanks for looking. When I click on the svg letters it goes to the download area but it just keeps trying to download but never does. Let me try it in the morning. Sometimes that will work.

Beautiful card! I love the embossing! I’m so glad you found us and decided to play along! Look forward to seeing more of you 🙂 Thanks for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! Don’t forget to like our facebook page 🙂
Really cute! Wouldn’t have guessed it was your first card! Very nice embossing plate!
Blessings,
Donna
way to go Kay, pretty card and I love the darice filder, I want to try them too since I have been boycotting PC products for a year and folder options are limited:)
You’re card is beautiful. I love the butterfly emboss. Thanks for the free svg shape!
Love the butterfly embossing! Beautiful color choices. Inspires me to get after it. 🙂

I was able to download the shadow this time. When I went to put it in the file with the sign prints that go with it, I found that it was not there so I went to your blog to download the pdf for them and (you guessed it) I cannot download them. Have no idea what is going on.
But thanks for the shadow.
Myrna
I appreciate your perseverance, Myrna. Those 2 files use different hosts so I suspect there is something going on with your browser. That PDF goes directly into the Downloads folder for me so you might check there. And/or try again later.
I like the colors you chose for your card. If you are new to card making it is hard to tell. I love that cardmaking is such a practical craft. I enjoy making them and my friends think I really like them because I made something just for them.
Thank you for sharing the shadow image. I really like your approach to blogging, to me it is like sophisticated crafting.
OK Kay it finally did what it was supposed to do. Thanks.
Myrna
This is beautiful, Kay! I don’t do well using yellow, but I love what you did with it.
Very pretty

Thank you Kay, you made a beautiful card.Also, thank you for your very generous t share such a nice file.

Hi Kay. Well done on creating your first challenge card! Lovely CAS design too. The shape you chose for your sentiment goes so well with the embossed butterfly design as well. Thanks too for sharing the files with everyone. Here’s to your second challenge card!
Beautiful card!
That embossing folder is lovely and really makes this gorgeous card POP! So, so pretty.
Thanks so much for playing along with CAS-ual Fridays this week:)
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies (please, notice the new url for my blog), under the Page 11 post on Apr. 27, 2012. Thanks again.
I love your images for the real estate sign punch. I tried to download the SVG and I cannot get the image to show on my screen. The download circle just keeps going around. Any suggestions?
Donna,
I just double checked again that it is working. Be sure you click save and not open. Also try at different times as the server may just be overloaded.
