AAA Cards #310 – Anything CAS Goes

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I opted to play with the twist to add Zoo or Animals on my card. I have a super cute stamp set frtom Gerder Steiner Designs called ‘Paty Animals’ that was perfect for this challenge. I stamped the crocodile, lion and rhino, coloured them with my Stampion Blends, fussy cut them out and stacked them on my card front. I added the matching sentiment and my card was done!

Just Add Ink #781 – Just Add Wings

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

This theme allows for many interpretations from angel wings, buterfly wings, birds etc. I opted for a die cut butterfly on my card – I cut one in vellum and one in white card stock and layered them on top of each other. My background I embossed a panel using the Couture creations ‘Symbols’ folder and then on the other panel, I tore the long edge, sponged Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Specked Egg and Unchartered Marina. I stampted an unknown text stamp oer the sponging, splattered some of the Unchartered Marina ink and added some diamentes for some bling bling.

AAA Birthday #83 – Use die cuts

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I love this challenge theme as I have lots and lots of dies, so I love an excuse to get them out! I used a new die set from the Stamp Market called ‘Watch bands’. The size of these dies allowed me to use up some of my cardstock scraps.

Just Add Ink #780 – Just Add Stencils/Dies or Both

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

I went with dies for my card. I had a old brick die in my stash that I hadn’t used for ages and thought it would be perfect behind the flowers and die cut leaf from the Strampin Up ‘Memorable Blooms’ stamp set. I coloured the flowers with a Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend in Megenta.

AAA Birthday #82 – Slimline

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I don’t make many slimline cards, but I should as they really lend themselves to differnt types of designs. For my card I decided to do an eclipse die cut sentiment. I first stamped the Stampin Up ‘Flowing Flowers’ with Altenew inks in Mountain Pine, Andromeda and Midnight Violet, the die cut the sentiment and popped the letters up. I added some coloured pearls to finish it off.

AAA Cards #307 – Colour Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great colour combo for you!

I felt this colour combo lent itself to a mountin/outdoor scene, so I turned to my Stampin Up ‘On the horizon’ stamps and dies. I ued Stampin Up cardstock in Basic Beige, Certainly Celeery, Mossy Meadow and Secret Sea to form my scene. I love how this turned out.

Two for Two!

Did a little bit of crafing today, playing along with The Male Room Challenge #206 and Addicted to CAS #300.

I love the idea to put a tag on a card, it gives you a chance to be really creative. I used up some scraps of various blue cardstock from Stampin up and layered them onto a tag. I die cut a few stars from the Uniquely Creative ‘Stacked Star’ dies and poped up a sentiment from Uniquely creative, some twine and my card was done.

For my AtC card, I used the Stampin Up ‘Birthday Goodness’ stampset and coloured the donut cake with my Stampin Blends in Crumb Cake and Magenta Madness. I added some crystal glaze to the icing on the donuts. Tasty right?!

Well, that’s it for today. I need to start getting ready for the work week ahead. Thanks for stopping by for a look.
