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!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #140 - Baby

Hi there ~ It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS and this time our code word is 'Baby'! Also, for this challenge, we are thrilled to have Jen Mitchell as our Guest Designer!
I don't have a need to create many baby cards, so I grabbed my Altenew alphas and created this card:

I thought the blue and white gingham papers would work well for a baby card and to add a little charm, I placed it inside the stitched scalloped frame. Lastly, I placed it on a stone gray card base and just for fun, I popped on the little bird, and that was it :)

We would love to see your baby cards...so, if you have the time, stop over at the ATCAS Challenge Blog and join us!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Supplies
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Say it Loud; MFT - I'm Tweet on You
Dies: Altenew - Bold Alphabet; MFT - Stitched Scallop Frames, I'm Tweet on You
Misc: MFT - Tiny Check Paper Pack; Copic Markers

A Card and a Tag

Hi everyone,
This week's Cue Card at CASology is Monochrome, and I just couldn't resist playing along. 

So, I grabbed my new PTI In the Woods die and die cut it in light blue, and added a darker blue background. The sentiment is from an old Watzingmouse set, and I thought the font went well with the branches.

___________________________________________

For the current Tag You're It Challenge, inspiration was provided by 'Amazing' Donna Mikasa with this beautiful card:

And here is the tag I created based on her inspiration:

I used my new Altenew Painted Butterflies stamp set with several different inks and the SSS 'You' die is stacked three times in black.

So, that's it for me. I hope everyone is staying warm ~ Thanks for stopping by,

Exciting News!

Hi Everyone ~
I am so incredibly excited to share my news with everyone...I have been asked to join the Design Team at Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog ~ Woo-Hoo!!! Over the past year, ATSM has become one of my favorite challenges, so this is really thrilling for me! And..today is the day that Kylie will be announcing the new Design Team on The ATSM Blog ~

We have a wonderful sponsor this week ~ Stamp Art Design by Kathryne, who is offering the winner of this challenge 5 digi stamps of her choice! 

 And, to celebrate, I inked up my new PTI stamps, and created a card for this weeks’ theme ‘Make Your Mark’:

If you know me at all, then you know how much I love my Copic markers! I colored the flower with a combination that I’ve never used before to create an ombre effect, and since I’ve always loved the font on this set by Waltzingmouse, I thought it would add a touch of elegance to the card. I also used my Femme Frames for a scalloped edge and added a few clear sequins. 

I hope you will take a peek at the ATSM Blog to see all the beautiful cards my amazing teammates have created, then take out your favorite coloring tools (pencils, pens, markers) and join in the fun!

Since I used the matching dies for the flower and leaves, I would also like to enter this card in Virginia's View Challenge for the current theme 'Die Cut'!

Thank you so much for stopping by ~

Hi everyone,
Just a quick post today...This week, CASology is celebrating their 100th Challenge, and the Cue Card is "Celebrate"! So, I couldn't resist playing along, and created this card! 

I stamped the confetti, stars and dot icons from 2 different Mama Elephant stamp sets with Hero Arts Neon inks, embossed the sentiment using black glitter embossing powder to give the card some sparkle, and mounted the panel on to a black base. I also added a touch of Wink of Stella clear glitter to icons. And, that's it...C. A. S.!!!

Before I go, I would just like to thank the past and present Design Team girls for always inspiring me to create, and for all the support they've given to all the players in their challenges...they are truly an amazing and seriously talented group...Thanks, ladies!

Well, I hope everyone is getting ready to have a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by ~
