AAA Cards #293 – Anything CAS Goes opt twist sentiment focus

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

I went with the twist to make my sentiment the focus on my card. I stamp the large YOU from the MFT ‘All About You’ stamp set. I used my Kaleidacolor stamp pad in ‘Carabbean Sea’ to get that graded colour. I then white heat embossed the rest of the sentment on some black cardstock.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at AAA Cards have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us. You have until Saturday, 5th July to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #756 – Just Add a Belly Band

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

I made a card with matching envelope using some old Stampin Up DSP ‘Fresh Florals’. I stamped, coloured (Tranquil Tide, Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede) and die cut some images from the Stampin Up ‘Cake Celebrations’ stamp set for the card and belly band. The circles were cut using the Stampin Up ‘Spotlight on Nature’ dies and I added some pearls to the flower centres to finish the card off.

You have until Wednesday, 25th June at 7pm (AEST) Australian Eastern Standard Time to link up your project.

AAA Cards #292 – Sketch

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

I love the look of this sketch ad decided to repeat the rainbow strips with some scraps of Stampin Up DSP. I added a die cut word on tp and finished the sentiment from Stampin Up ‘Number of Years’.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #754 – Choose 2 – Die Cut/Flower/Ribbon

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

I chose Die Cut/Flower for my card/project. I saw a project by Brenda Quintana making a box using some dies and decided that I could replicate this but using different dies. Can I tell you I wasted about 4 sheets of cardstock trying to get it right but I finally got there!

All the items are from Stampin Up – DSP ‘Bloom Impresions’, ‘Special Moments’ and ‘Flowers of Beauty’ stamp sets and blends in Pumpkin Pie and Grapefruit Grove.

Here are my instructions. I hope you have a go and don’t waste as many piece of cardstock as I did!

AAA Birthday #74 – No Stamping

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

I love a no stamping challenge, as it makes me use items that I’ve often forgotten about. In this instance I used a new embossing folder from SSS called ‘Drifting Flowers, with some pink tinted tuille and some cut out cupcakes elements from an old DSP. The cardstock is from Stampin Up ‘Melon Mambo.’

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at AAA Birthday have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us. You have until Monday, 30th June to link up your project.
