AAA Cards #266 – sketch

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

I thought this sketch was perfect for a Christmas card. I stamped three of the baubes from the old Stampin Up “Ornament Keepsake’ stamp set and coloured them with my Stampin Blends in Cucumber Crush, Tahitian Tide and Melon Mambo. I die cut them and popped one up with dimensionals. I added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

AAA Cards #261 – Spring/Spring Colours

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

It’s Autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere so it’s nice to think about sunny colours and warmer weather! I used a retired Stampin Up stamp set for my card – ‘Inspired by Nature’ inked up in Old Olive and Lemon Lime Twist and paired with Sizzix embosslit ‘Beautiful wings’ using some scrap cardstock. I added some little pearls to the centres of some of the butterflies and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

AAA Cards #260 Sketch

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

I used a retired stamp set from Stampin Up called “Dressed to Impress’. I stamped the perfume bottle four times with some inks from Altenew for the scribble pattern in the bottle centres and then die cut them out to use along the card edge.

AAA Cards #259 – ATG CAS opt Birthday

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

I love an ATG challenge as I can let my creativity go where it takes me. I used a cool stamp set from Altenew ‘Halftone circles’ which works really well if you want to layer them with different colours, which is what I did here using Stampin Up inks in Real Red, Pimpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. The sentiment I created on my computer.

AAA Cards #258 – Sketch

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

This sketch inspired me to make a Christmas card. I sponged a background panel with Stampin Up inks (Pacific Point, Blueberry Bushel, Starry Sky and Night of Navy), stamped the trees from the Stampin Up ‘Wonderland’ stamp set and then added a die cut Santa and his sleigh over the sponged panel. I opted for no sentiment as I think the lements speak for themselves.

AAA Cards #257 – ATG CAS Opt twist – love is in the air

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you with an optional twist if you feel like it!

I decided to play with the optional twist for my card. I die cut a series of hearts in different shapes. Added some twine and hung them on a white card base and my card was done. I decided to not have a sentiment as I think the hearts speak to the card meaning.
