Happy Little Stampers ~ June Watercolour Challenge
Die Cut Divas ~ Last Day of our May Challenge
This month, we're happy to have Frantic Stamper as our sponsor. The winner will received these four dies.
I started my card by die cutting the word "love" using Frantic Stampers' Big Handwritten Love die from red cardstock. I then searched through my stash of patterned papers for something with the same red. I settled on this flowered patterned paper, which satisfies the flowers requirement and, which I cut to 5.5" x 4.25". To help the word pop, I die cut a stitched circle from natural cardstock using a My Favorite Things Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics die. I added some paper flowers with small adhesive pearls to complete the panel. I adhered the panel to a natural A2 card base to complete my card.

Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #447
Well, it feels like summer is finally here. Now, I'm complaining that it's too hot! I'm never happy - LOL! One way, I cool down is to think about Christmas and to make Christmas cards. This is perfect for our next challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Addicted to CAS ~ Challenge #238
It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS. It's a good one this fortnight.
Our code word is
FREEDOM
I admit it. I was stumped. I wasn't sure what to do. I thought about a balloon flying away or maybe a hot-air balloon. I thought about soldiers who fight for our freedom. I thought about a July 4th inspired card. I settled on this idea. Here's my card.

Try Stampin' On Tuesday ~ Challenge #606
Do you ever look at a card sketch and think, I know exactly what to use? Well, it happened this time. It doesn't happen often at all. I find that I flip through my stamps, stencils, patterned papers, dies to look for inspiration. However, for the next challenge at Try Stampin' On Tuesday, I was inspired! Here's the sketch

Happy Little Stampers ~ Stencil Challenge - May 2023
I love working with stencils. Artists have done the hard work and all I have to do is add color. Stencils tend to be more affordable - well, until the addition of layering stencils came along. If you're like me and like working with stencils, then our challenge at Happy Little Stampers ~ Stencil Challenge is for you. If you haven't played with stencils in awhile, why don't you dust them off (LOL!) and join us. Our challenge this month is
Addicted to CAS ~ Challenge #237
I'm grateful for the time I get to play at my craft table. Playing with paper, inks, stamps, stencils and dies, really make me happy. Spending hours crafting is my joy! Hoping you find some time to craft.
We have a new challenge to hopefully inspire you, at Addicted to CAS. Our challenge for the next fortnight is
MONOCHROME
Here's my card
When companies have cardstock that matches with their inks, well, it makes creating monochromatic cards much easier. In my case, I used Stampin'Up's Coral Calypso ink and cardstock for my card. On some Coral Calypso cardstock, I stamped using Impression Obsession Cover-a-card Flourishes stamp with Coral Calypso ink. I like the tone on tone look when you stamp using the ink that matches the cardstock. A similar look is achieved if you stamp with Versamark ink. I cut a strip that measures 1.5" x 5.5" for my card. I then stamped using Gina K Design's A Beautiful World stamp set that came in a Catherine Pooler Stamp of Approval box, with Coral Calypso ink onto white cardstock. I also stamped the sentiment from the Simon Says STAMP's It's Your Birthday stamp set with Coral Calypso onto the white cardstock. I trimme the white cardstock to 3" x 4". I matted with Coral Calypso cardstock, with a thin border to make the white stamped panel stand out. I adhered the inked strip and inked panel to a white A2 cardbase to complete my card.
We'd love to see your monochrome cards in our gallery this fortnight. Hmm - what color will you use? Blue? Green? Red?
