AAA Cards #324 – Follow My Lead

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you! Today we’re following the lead of Helen Nile.

I was inspired by Helen’s sponged circle with her image in the centre and the sentiment along the base. I changed up the positioning of my sponged circle and had my image slightly to the side. I coloured and fussy cut one of the cats from the Cats Pajamas N7874 set and popped him on a Stampin Up Soft Sky spomged circle.

AAA Cards #323 – M is for …………

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

I chose – Masculine!

This was a very simple card to make, yet I think it’s pretty cool looking. I used a couple of my square dies, and die cut a series of whole and outlined squares from Stampin Up cardstock in Old Olive and Night of Navy. I then arranged them in a stacked diamond sort of shape and popped up the sentiment from Stampin Up ‘Not 29 Anymore’ on top and I was done.

AAA Cards #322 – Back to the 70s & 80s

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

How fun is this theme? An iconic item fom the 80s was the Rubiks cube, so I thought I’d make one for my card. I cut a series of 2cm squares and layered them onto black square and popped this up on my card base. I printed my sentiment on my PC – Cube-lations = Celebrations!

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

I chose Animals to go with the central on the farm theme. I used a new to me matching stamp set and dies from Whimsy Stamps called ‘Cranky Pants’. I water coloured the cranky goat and then die cut him out popping him over the main die cut sentiment.

I know just the person who will be getting this card!

AAA Cards #319 – Colour Challenge

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

These colours scream flowers to me, so I reached for a new to me set from Stampin Up ‘Boutique Blossoms’ which has matching dies too! I inked to flowers up in Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie, Crisp Cantaloupe, Bubble Bath and Magenta Madness inks; die cut them out and then layered into the bottom corner of my cardbase. The sentiment was in my stash, ut can’t remember where it’s from.

AAA Cards #317 – Sketch challenge

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

I was inspired by the fireworks in the skecth and went straight for the Ton ‘Pyrotechinics’ stamp set and my gold and silver heat embossing powder! The sentiment is from Stampin Up ‘Occassionaly Funny’. A simple but elegant card I think.

AAA Cards #316 – 1 + 1 challenge

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

For my 1 + 1, I chose Summer and Sun. For me that meant summer/sun colours so I went to my cardstock scrap stash for all the yellows and oranges that I feel make up a sunshine colour scheme. I layed them onto my cardbase in a radiating outwards pattern, both up and down and then added a sentiment cerated on my laptop with some yeloow and white twine and my card was done.

AAA Birthday #86 – For Boys

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

I love making masculine cards, but I probably don’t make them often as I do love to colour flowers and probably send more cards to women than men.

I used a great stamp set from Stampin Up ‘Brewed for You’ where I stamped 5 of the beer mugs with their foamy top and then die cut them out. I used SU inks in So Saffron and Mango Melody for the beer and bubbles. I added a bit of puffy paint to make the beer foam top and then added some die cut letters to form the HAPPY sentiment. I’m pretty happy with how this card came out.
