I Simply Adore You

Hi there ~

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

There is no shortage of animal stamps in my stash, but my heart warmed to this NBUS set from MFT. I stenciled the clouds and grass and used Copic markers to color the pups. And, that was it...a clean and simple white frame with a little stitching, a few bones and a gold heart :)

We would love to see how the code word ‘Animal’ 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 ~

Twofer Card Challenge #35 - Balloons

Hi there ~ I finally carved out some time to create a card for the Twofer Card Challenge. Here are the rules:

Since the prompt for February is balloons I used a SSS stencil and started with a birthday card:

I took my inspiration from the rainbow for my color palette and thought it would be fun to use the camouflage technique for the die-cut sentiment. A few balloon strings and clear sequins, and that was it!

______________________________________________

I like to send encouragement cards to our 14-year-old granddaughter, so that was the theme for my 2nd card:

After I stenciled the balloon, I colored the elephant and butterflies with Copic markers, then stenciled the clouds and patch of grass using an oval die.

This is the photo of both cards to post on the challenge blog:

Yappy Christmas

Hello blog friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the February CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Susan is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Dogs and/or Cats’ for our prompt.

I love the cute pups in this stamp set :) I colored this little guy with Copic markers and sat him on a scrap of gray cardstock after running it through my woodgrain embossing folder and corner chomper. The background was blended with Alternew inks...I added a fun sentiment and Crystal Glaze on the bell, and that was it ~

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the February challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Susan and she has chosen ‘Dogs and/or Cats’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Jane from Paper and Onions.

This cute little pup is from the 'Wintertime Cheer' stamp set by Penny Black. I colored the images with Copic markers and placed him behind the Snow Globe die cut. To make the sentiment pop, I stamped it with MFT Cherry Crisp ink and I created the shadow using light gray Copic markers.

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! I hope to see you there ~
