Addicted to CAS Card Challenge - Our 9th Birthday Celebration

Hello crafty friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  ~ Nancy is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Colorful’. Our Guest Designer is Cecile. This is our last challenge for 2021 and we are celebrating our 9th Birthday!

                           

For me, when it comes to color, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned rainbow! I used distress inks on the SSS balloon stencil and added the strings by hand. The sentiment is also from SSS and after adding it, I decided to keep this card extremely CAS. 

We would love to see how the code word ‘Colorful’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team and celebrate our 9th Birthday with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Addicted to CAS Card Challenge

Hello crafty friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  ~ Our Hostess is yours truly, and since Halloween is only a few shorts weeks away, I'm challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Spooky’.

I've had this NBUS PTI spider web for a few years so I was happy to finally use it on a card. I started by using one side of a watercolor wash stencil to create the wonky border with Oxide inks. After I placed the web I added a few spiders and a die-cut sentiment and that was it ~ Of course I stamped a greeting inside, added a $20. bill and popped it in the mail to my granddaughter, Desi. She'll love it...the money, that is!

Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

Hi there blog friends! Several weeks ago, Kylie (Owner/Manager of Addicted to CAS) asked me to represent our team for the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop! Altenew sent each rep 2 stamp sets of our choice, so I have created 2 cards for the hop :)

My first card is ultra-modern and features the Amazing You stamp set, Versatile Vases dies, and Deco Lines Washi Tape. I used linen cardstock for texture and gold foil cardstock for the border. 

_______________________________________

Give me a nautical theme anytime, so I grabbed this new set called Seas the Day and got going...I used Versamark and clear embossing powder for the water and blended distress inks to add color. I stenciled the clouds and used a Copic Multiliner to draw the seagull. The ship and little girl were colored with Copic markers and once I added the sentiment, this card was complete!

There are several challenge blogs on the hop and a generous prize being offered at each one :) There are $250. in prizes and winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on September 5th, 2021.

So...hop on over to the Addicted to CAS challenge blog...Kylie will give you the details and links to the participating challenges ~ Good luck, everyone!

Addicted to CAS Card Challenge - Christmas

Hello crafty friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ Nancy is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Christmas’. 

I like creating Christmas cards with a non-traditional color palette. For this card, I chose pumice stone and shaded lilac distress inks. I started with a loose lilac watercolor for the background and I blended pumice stone ink lightly onto stone gray cardstock before die-cutting the mistletoe. I used DOX ink for the berries and bow to get a pop of color then I brushed everything with a crystal clear marker to add sparkle to the design. 

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