Addicted to CAS Challenge #152 - Birds

Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS. Our Hostess is Vicki and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Birds’.

Our Guest Designer is Sandie Munro  (winner of challenge #150) and she has created a beautiful CAS card to inspire everyone.

I have several bird stamps and dies in my stash so it was hard to choose, but I finally decided on this little guy:

I started by sponging the stencil then coloring the Toucan with Copic markers. I added a wonky stitched circle die cut in vellum and googly eyes (with eyelashes!).

Ok, now we would love to see how the code word ‘Birds’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team and play along with us, visit the ATCAS Blog HERE ~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #150 - Snowflake

Hi all...Kylie and the DT have had a break for the holidays, and today starts our first challenge of the new year at Addicted to CAS! Also with the start of the new year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our four new DT Members:

Vicki Dutcher
Angie Cimbalo
Toni Maddox
Raga Senthil

Our Hostess is Angie and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Snowflake’.

Our Guest Designer is Hillary (winner of challenge #148) and she has created a beautiful card to inspire everyone!

As a Christmas gift to myself, I bought an older set of MFT Snowflake dies, which are the most gorgeous snowflakes I've ever seen...hands down! 

The elegant details in this set of dies are truly amazing...check them out Here. I layered a small snowflake and gold sequin to the center of the large one and placed it on the stitched scallop border. The gold striped patterned papers are from PTI and the sentiment is from a new stamp set by MFT.

Ok, now we would love to see how the code word ‘Snowflake’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, visit the ATCAS Blog HERE ~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #148

Hi all ~ It’s time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  Our Hostess is yours truly, and I've chosen the Code Word for this challenge :)

Recently, I bought my first set of stamps from Uniko, so that's what I used for my first card:

I started with a Grout Gray card base, and embossed the outline of the flowers and leaves with white EP, then stamped the details with different shades of pink and green. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in cement gray, and that was it. I find one layer cards difficult because I love to add gems or enamel dots, but that would be cheating, right?

**************************

While shopping the Uniko store, I also picked up a stencil and created a 2nd card ~

This is a very large stencil, so I decided to create a 5 x 7 card. I used Distress Oxide inks (Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade) and spritzed it with a little bit of Sheer Shimmer Spray. The sentiment is from a really old Waltzingmouse set called 'Say It Loud'. And, that was it...of course, I'll have to create a custom envelope for it, but that's fine.

Ok, now we would love to see how the code word One Layer Card inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, visit the ATCAS Blog HERE  ~

Don't forget, as always, Happy Little Stampers (HLS) is our Sponsor, and Kylie is generously awarding the winner with a $20.00 GC to the store!

  Happy Little Stampers was created in 2015 by Kylie (owner of ATSM and ATCAS). Kylie wanted to bring out a line of stamps that were useful for everyday crafters. From cute to whimsical images, from every day to funky sentiments there is something for everyone!

 Also, as the hostess for this challenge, I will be sending a crafty gift to the winner!

Hello again, blog friends! It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS, and this time our code word is 'Summertime'!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #115

Hi all...it’s time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS

Our Sponsor is Create a Smile Stamps

Our Hostess is Ceal and she has chosen the Code Word Summer.

I was in the mood for a beach day, and really wanted to create a gentle beach scene, so I watercolored the sand and water with DI's and added a few seagulls. An anchor for a nautical element and that was it ~

We have a new Teammate at ATCAS ~ Kelli Acopan, and we are introducing her today. Stop by and say hello, if you have a chance. You won't be disappointed :)

I would also like to add this card to my dear friend Virginia’s Summer Blog Party

I love the color pink so it was a joy to create my card ~
