Addicted to CAS ~ Challenge #310

It was my turn to choose the code word for our next challenge at Addicted to CAS. Here's the code word

Here's my card

For my card, the frame I chose was a "polaroid" photo frame. I started with this cute llama using Pawsome Stamps' Picture Pals stamp set. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added color with Ohuhu markers G191, R197, V189, WG150 and Copic marker E41. I die cut the white frame and die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese, Again die. I ink blended along the edge of the "photo" with speckled egg distress ink. For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted's Many Mini Messages and Gina K Design's Soft Stone ink. Starting with a white A2 card base, I added a dark gray strip and the photo and frame with some glue to complete my card. 

We'd love to see your FRAME-inspired cards in our gallery.

Addicted to Stamps and More! ~ Challenge #519

Time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! Next up on our rotation of challenges is

Here's my card

I decided to make a Thank You card. I started with this Japanese doll using Frantic Stamper's Large Kokeshi Japanese Paper Doll dies. I used scraps of cardstock and some purple patterned paper that looked "asian". I glued the pieces together and added some pink to her cheeks using Ohuhu R193 marker. For the background of the card, I stamped the bamboo using Essentials by Ellen's So Matcha stamp set and PinkFresh Studio's Fresh Pear ink. I stamped the sentiment using Simon Says STAMP's Floral Bliss stamp set and Gina K Design's Soft Stone ink. I glued the Japanese doll in place. To finish my card, I adhered the A2 panel to a white A2 card base using double-sided tape.

Try A Sketch On Tuesday ~ Challenge #697

We have a new sketch challenge for you at Try A Sketch On Tuesday. Here's the sketch.

I adapted the sketch a bit - mostly moving the placement of the sentiment. Here's my card.

I started this card with the pink/red patterned paper. I cut four 4 1/2" x 1/2" strips and glued them to a 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece of light pink cardstock. I die cut a small semi-circle using a Sizzix circle die on the lower right edge. I used dimensionals to adhere it to a light pink A2 card panel. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the sentiment using Concord & 9th's Gentle Spring stamp set which I received as part of Scrapbook and Cards Today's Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2026 event on medium pink cardstock with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment using a My Favorite Things Stitched Circle STAX die. I glued it in place on the A2 card panel. To finish my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch in our gallery.

For my card, I used Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th's Daphne's Flowers Inlay dies. I die cut the outline and all the little pieces using white cardstock. I added color to all the little pieces with Ohuhu markers G191, R192, V189, Y494 and Copic marker YG63. I glued the outline and inlayed all the little pieces onto a gray A2 card panel.

AAA Cards ~ Challenge #316

It's time for a new challenge at AAA Cards. For the next two weeks, here is our challenge.

So, I chose "Beach" to go with "Summer". Here's my card

I started my card with Pink & Main's Mask It Circle stencil and a white A2 panel. I cut a scrap piece of cardstock with a slight curve. I used this to add the sky by ink blending with tumbled glass distress ink applied with an oval ink blending brush. I used the "negative" piece to add the beach by ink blending with antique linen with an oval ink blending brush. I removed the circle stencil. I stamped the sentiment using Honey Bee Stamps' Hello Summer stamp set and PinkFresh Studio's Sapphire ink. I stamped the shells, starfish and flip flops using the same stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added color with Ohuhu markers B281, B290, BG038, BG042, E494, R193, V189. I die cut the images with the coordinating die set. I glued them in place around the sentiment. To finish my card, I adhered the A2 panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape. 

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our challenge in our gallery.
