Okay! Light the Candles!

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 ~

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Supplies:

Stamps: Art Impressions - Fire Out

Dies: MFT - Shadow; Hero Arts - Speech Bubble

Misc: Copic Markers; Copic Multiliner

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the March CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Loll is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Kraft, Red & White’ for our prompt.

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.

3rd Birthday Celebration

Hi there, blog friends! It’s our 3rd birthday at CAS Christmas and we're celebrating with a few prizes! Our Hostess is Loll and she has chosen ‘Kraft, Red & White’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Gundi

I love the look of red and white on Kraft but rarely reach for this color combo...I started by stenciling the brick wall with Unicorn ink, then Copic markers to color the pup. Lastly, I embossed the sentiment, popped it up on a slanted strip, and added  Crystal Glaze for the lights.

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!
