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.

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 Monday 20th June to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

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.

AAA Cards #313 – Colour challenge

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

To create the plaid panel, I cut the four colours of the challenge (Timid Tiger, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Pretty in Pink) into 1/2cm strips and then die cut it with a Stampin Up plaid die. I popped up one of the birds from the Stampin Up ‘Soaring Swallows’ stamped in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

AAA Cards #312 – Follow Jane’s Lead

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and we challenge you to follow Jane’s lead!

I love this card of Jane’s with the bold panel and simple sentiment. I used some fabris washi tape from 49 & Market ‘Alena’ and then die cut my sentiment. Super simple and I can see myself creating more in this style.

AAA Birthday #84 – Use Washi Tape

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

I had a large sized washi tape from 49 & Market ‘Botanical’ which I used to created my background panel. I then staped and loosing water coloured a perfume bottle from The Ton ‘Marveous Perfumes’ and a woman from Tim Holtz ‘Runway’ stamp sets. I like how graphic this card looks like.

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!
