Hey There, Pumpkin

Hello crafty friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  ~ Fran is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Autumn’. Our Guest Designer is Valerie ~

For this 5x7" card, I started by using the MFT Rectangle Mask Stencil and the Fall Friends stamp set. I colored the images with Copic markers, created the polka dots with my Uniball Signo pen, and the grass with MFT Oval Shadows die. My intention was to create a one-layer card, but I smudged the sentiment and didn't want to start over...will I ever learn to stamp it first? Also, the pumpkin looks very dark on my screen...not so in person...sorry about that ~

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

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Supplies:

Stamps: MFT - Fall Friends, Autumn Greetings

Dies: MFT - Oval Shadows

Stencils: MFT - Rectangle Mask

Misc: Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Oxide Ink - Mowed Lawn

Hello, Fall

Hi there, blog friends ~ Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  ~ Vicky H. is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Leaf’. 

So, I finally broke down and bought these beautiful leaf dies from Altenew. I used Silver Sparkle cardstock for alcohol inks for the large detailed leaf and Yupo paper for the others. I used Antique Silver embossing powder for the sentiment and a Wonky Stitched die for this front panel.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the September challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Colleen and she has chosen ‘Plaid’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Melanie (Cards by Melanie ).

Such a simple card...I used my PTI 'Plaid' cover plate for my front panel and added a sentiment with gold foil cardstock. The cute little holly is from an old PTI set and the red gems are from my stash. 

Here's a close-up of that lovely plaid pattern:
