Reminder - CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the April CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Trina is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Rainbow’ for our prompt.

I love this angled scallop die, so I decided to place it above my blended rainbow panel and add a sparkly Poinsettia into the corner. I embossed the sentiment in silver EP, and that was it!

Addicted to CAS Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ The wonderful Joy D. is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Flower’.

                         

I needed a get-well card and thought this sentiment was perfect with these pretty blooms. I colored the jug and flowers with Copic markers, then mounted it onto a PTI mat.

We would love to see how the code word ‘Flower’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

April CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the April challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Trina and she has chosen ‘Rainbow’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is the amazing Izzy!

I started by watercoloring my new TH Woodlands Trees blending red into orange, yellow into green, and blue into violet with a spritz of sheer shimmer spray. Next, I used embossing paste on a falling snow stencil, added snowdrifts, and a sentiment, and this card was complete!

We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer...The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash!

Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ Jaydee is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Birthday’. Our Guest Designer is the amazing Chrissie.

                                                  

I really get a kick out of this stamp and I hope my sister likes it too...she'll be 69 next week and this card is for her. I stamped the image and sentiment onto a 5x7 panel and colored it with Copic markers. Then I traced an old Hero Arts speech bubble for the sentiment and die cut an oval shadow die to create a mask to ground the lady. Lastly, I used 2 post-its and a marker (BG10) to make it look like water was coming out of the nozzle.   

We would love to see how the code word ‘Birthday’ inspires you! If you would like to see more inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Addicted to CAS Card Challenge

Hello and welcome to a brand new challenge at Addicted to CAS hosted by Raga.

Here's the theme she has chosen:

I guess I didn't realize how many stamps, dies, and stencils I had with shapes...not to mention in a variety of sizes, too! In the end, I decided to use a diamond stencil and dies.

Please excuse the glare. I tried photographing this card from every angle and between the silver foil cardstock and the silver embossing powder, I couldn't get a nice clean shot! After stenciling the diamond pattern and placing the die-cuts, I added this new layered bloom from Altenew. Lastly, I added a few crystal gems, and this card was finished ~

We would love to see how the code word ‘Shapes’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog.
