CAS on Sunday ~ DT Call

For those who know me, I really like making clean and simple cards. I'm not one to spend hours or even days on one card or one scrapbook page. I like things to be uncluttered and I love cute things. There is a Design Team call at CAS on Sunday and I'm going to apply.

Here is my clean and simple card

For my card, I used Paper Smooches' Swanky Snowdudes stamp set. I stamped this snowdude with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on some white cardstock. I added color with Ohuhu markers B389, RV194, Y360 and fussy cut the dude out. On a white A2 cardbase, I used Pink & Main's Mask It Circle with my Wendy Vecchi's Make Art STAY-tion and lightly applied Tumbled Glass distress ink with an oval ink blending brush. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and adhered the dude with tape runner to the center of the inked circle to complete my card.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #609

How are your Christmas plans going? Only a couple of days before the big guy visits. Hope this time of year isn't too stressful for you. In case you need a bit of time to chill, we'd love for you to get crafty and join us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

When I saw this sketch, I thought of Waffle Flower's Postage Collage collection. Here's my card

For my card, I used Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Blocks stencil and tumbled glass distress ink, applied with an oval ink blending brush on a white A2 card base. I used the Christmas tree, ornament string and star dies that I received as part of Scrapbook & Cards Today's Jolly Holiday event, July 2024. I die cut the tree from white cardstock and ink blended Concord & 9's Watermelon ink on it. I cut the ornament string a few times from silver and light blue cardstock and cut the star from silver cardstock. I glued the tree decorations in place. I die cut from medium gray cardstock a stitched circle using a My Favorite Things' Stitched circle STAX die-namics die. For the sentiment, I used Simon Says STAMP's Printmaking Pines stamp set and silver embossing powder. I glued the tree to the circle die cut and adhered the circle die cut to the card front to complete my card.

We'd love to see your creations in our gallery.

Our challenge this month is

FANCY/UNEVEN EDGE ON AT LEAST ONE OF THE EDGES OF A CARD

I decided to make a shaped card using Spellbinders' Nestabilities - Scalloped Circles small dies, which are available from Frantic Stampers. Not only is this a shaped card but also a stacked card, connected with brads.

I used Christmas patterned paper and also Sizzix circle dies and a 1 1/2" EK Success circle punch for the varied layers. For the top layer, I heat embossed using The Stamping Village's Holiday Seals with gold embossing powder on red cardstock. The bottom layer opens up to provide a space for a message.

Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #483

Time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! This will be our final challenge for 2024 as we're taking a bit of a break. We'll be back January 14, 2025.

Here's my birthday card

I actually made this card with a recipient in mind. We're going to be travelling in 2025 and I'm letting him know specifics with this card. Here's the inside of the card.

For the front of the card, I used Unity Stamps' Kit of the Month for 6/18 - We Can Rise set. I stamped the luggage with Versafine Onyx Black ink on 100 lb bristol. I added color with distress inks - ground espresso, gathered twigs, rusty hinge, brushed corduroy, salty ocean, weathered wood, mowed lawn, ripe persimmon, peacock feathers. I smooshed the ink on a plastic place mat and picked up the color with a paint brush and a little water. I let the ink dry and then die cut with a My Favorite Things Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX die-namics die. The sentiment using Papertrey Ink's Keep It Simple: Birthday stamp set was stamped on a brown A2 card panel. I adhered the focal image onto the panel with double-sided tape, which was then adhered to a white A2 card base also with double-sided tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Unity Stamp set on the inside and with a red pen, added the "get" and "!" to complete my birthday card.

We'd love to see your birthday cards in our gallery. We'll see you in the new year!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #607

Happy Monday Friends! It's time for a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Here's our sketch

Here's my card

I was inspired by the Christmas-inspired sketch and since Christmas is coming quickly, I thought I'd make a Christmas card too. For the label, I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Eight etched die and some patterned paper. For the foliage, I used a Paper Smooches' Wreath Builder die, a Gina K Design's Foliage Fillers die and an Elizabeth Craft Design's Winter Greens die. I arranged the foliage and glued them into place on a natural A2 panel. Then, I glued the label. For the sentiment, I used a scrap of red cardstock and The Ton's Holiday Flourish stamp set with silver embossing powder. i cut the red cardstock into a sentiment strip and cut two fish-tail ends. I trimmed the panel and then adhered it to a green A2 card panel, which was then adhered to a white A2 card base to complete my card.

We'd love to see your work in our gallery.

AAA Cards ~ Challenge #280

Are you ready for a clean and simple challenge? We have one at AAA Cards that we hope will inspire you to get crafty.

Here's my card

For my card, I started with a light pink A2 card panel and Simon Says STAMP's Simple Patterns Trio stencils. I used my Wendy Vecchi's MAKE ART stay-tion to hold the panel and stencil in place. I added distress inks - candied apple, abandoned coral, picked raspberry applied with oval ink blending brushes. I used the same distress inks on a scrap of the same pink cardstock, which I used to die cut the hearts using a Memory Box's Cherub Hearts die. I glued the hearts in place. For the sentiment, I used Paper Smooches' Word Salad stamp set with Concord & 9's Dove ink. I adhered the completed panel to a white A2 card base to finish my card.

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

Addicted to CAS ~ Challenge #273

This will be our last challenge at Addicted to CAS until January 11th, 2025. We will be taking a brief vacation for the holiday season. Our code word is

Isn't this the perfect word for winter in the Northern Hemisphere? Here's my card

For my card, I used Simon Hurley's Crop & Create Fall 2024 stamp set and die set which I received as part of the Scrapbook & Cards Today's Crop & Create Fall 2024 event. I stamped the adorable penguin with Versafine Onyx Black ink on 96 lb bristol. I added color with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in Cobalt Blue, Dull Blue, Yellow and Gina K Design's Wild Lilac and a water brush. When the ink dried, I die cut the image with the coordinating die. For the snow beneath the penguin's feet, I applied some Simon Hurley's Astro Paste in Frostbite on a white A2 card panel. For the pompom on the penguin's toque, I applied some Simon Hurley's Astro Paste in Clear Skies with my finger. Yes, with my finger - no palette knife or other tool required. Note - after application, I'd suggest washing your finger before the paste dried! LOL! The Astro Paste gives some texture and sparkle (which is very difficult to photograph). For the sentiment, I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a scrap of blue cardstock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out and glued it in place. I trimmed the A2 panel slightly and then adhered it to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you were inspired by our Code Word - Brrr in our gallery.

Try A Sketch on Tuesday ~ Challenge #660

Can't believe that we're already in December! Honestly, where does the time go? One minute, I'm complaining because it's so hot in July and then "poof", it's December. 

Well, we have a new challenge starting at Try A Sketch On Tuesday

Here's my take on this sketch

For my card, I thought I'd go with a snowflake theme. I started by embossing a white A2 card panel with Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Snowflakes. I sprited the card panel lightly with water. This helps prevent "cracking" of the cardstock through the embossing process. I then cut the A2 panel, removing a sliver of paper on each diagonal cut. I die cut the center snowflake using Simon Says STAMP's Alexis snowflake die and silver shimmer cardstock. I also cut two thin strips of the same silver shimmer cardstock. I adhered the embossed triangle pieces and the silver strips to a white A2 card base. I glued the snowflake in place. For the sentiment, I used Hero Arts' Winter Silhouettes stamp set with Hero Arts Cornflower ink on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment strip down and ink blended some tumbled glass distress ink along the edges. I glued the sentiment strip in place to complete my card.

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

FANCY/UNEVEN EDGE ON AT LEAST ONE OF THE EDGES OF A CARD

Here's my card

For my FANCY/UNEVEN EDGE, I used PinkFresh Studio's Essentials Mini Slimline Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die which is available at Frantic Stamper for the frame of the card. For the image, I started by ink blending some white cardstock with Gina K Design's Tangerine Twist, Passionate Pink and Blue Raspberry inks with oval ink blending brushes trying to mimic a sunset. I then stamped the trees using Gina K Design's Friendly Silhouettes stamp set. I cut the white cardstock to fit behind the frame and also stamped the sentiment using the same stamp set. To make this into a card, I adhered a white card base 2 3/4" x 5 3/4" behind the black frame.

We'd love to see your FANCY/UNEVEN EDGE creations in our gallery this month.

Our challenge this month is

ANY HOLIDAY IN THE YEAR

For my card, I chose Mother's Day. I'm getting tired of Christmas cards. Here's my card

For my card, I used Birch Press Design's Pimpernel Contour Layers craft dies. I die cut the pieces of the leaves and flowers using white cardstock. I added color with distress inks - abandoned coral, ripe persimmon, wild honey, mustard seed, evergreen bough, peacock feathers applied with oval ink blending brushes. I planned a placement of the flowers and leaves and took a picture with my phone so that I could remember where to put the elements. On a light gray A2 panel, I heat embossed the sentiment using Hero Arts' Happy Mother's Day stamp set and gold embossing powder. I glued all the flowers and leaves in place, following my photo. To complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base.

We'd love to see your ANY HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR creations in our gallery. Please remember to use a die cut.

To my American Friends, Happy Thanksgiving (a couple of days early!). It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! Our challenge for the next fortnight is

Here's my card

For my card, I smooshed distress inks cracked pistachio, lucky clover, peacock feathers, mowed lawn, evergreen bough, spritzed with a bit of water onto 100 lb bristol. I let the ink dry. I then die cut the panel using Simon Says STAMP's Lined Trees dies and also from a medium gray cardstock (for the outlines). I inlaid and glued the die cuts pieces onto a light gray A2 card panel. The sentiment was heat embossed with silver embossing powder using The Ton's Holiday Flourish stamp set. To complete my card, I adhered the A2 panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #605Here

It's Monday so that must mean that it's time for a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Here's our sketch 

Here's my take on the sketch. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the left.

For my card, I used elements that I thought I was going to use for my Christmas cards 2023. However, by the time, I finished the petals, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to mail them in a regular envelope. I wasn't prepared to send them in a bubble envelope and spend extra for postage. I made the pedals using Spellbinders' Stitched Poinsettia & Holly and red and burgundy felt, die cut with my Big Shot. I used gold thread to add the stitches along with small gold beads. For the foliage, I could find my "holly leaves" so I die cut using Elizabeth Craft Design's Winter Greens and some silver and green cardstock. For the sentiment, I used The Ton's Holiday Flourish and gold embossing powder on some kraft cardstock. I cut the kraft into a 3/4" strip. I glued all the pieces in place on an A2 light kraft cardstock. To complete the card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape. 

We'd love to see your take on our sketch in our gallery.

AAA Cards ~ Challenge #279

Have another Clean and Simple challenge today. This time, it's a new challenge at AAA Cards. Here's our inspiration

Here's my card. I incorporated the Optional Twist: Christmas - Winter

For my card, I started with Avery Elle's Snow Much Fun. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added color with Ohuhu markers BG042, E293, E371, E761, G191, V891, Y360. I fussy cut the image. I felt like adding a bit of "snow" using Simon Hurley's Astro Paste - Frostbite and my finger on a white A2 card panel. No fancy tool need here! I let the Astro Paste dry before heat embossing the sentiment, using the same stamp set and silver embossing powder. I glued the sledding friends in place and to complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see your clean and simple creation in our gallery.

I looked around for a Christmas ornament that I could use for my card. I chose this one that I received as part of the SCT Jolly Holiday July 2024 kit. We received the fancy front part of the ornament, the ornament outline and the ornament topper dies in our kit. I die cut the fancy front part from some red velvet cardstock for a bit of texture and tactile interest. I die cut the outline from silver glitter paper. I die cut the ornament topper from silver mirrored cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment using The Ton's Holiday Flourish stamp set and silver embossing powder on a light gray A2 card panel. I adhered the ornament, along with some silver cord for the ornament hanger to the card panel. To complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

Try A Sketch On Tuesday ~ Challenge #659

Hello Tuesday! Time for a new challenge at Try A Sketch On Tuesday. Here's our sketch

Here's my card

For my card, I just couldn't resist this super cute giraffe using Pawsome Stamps' Picture Pals. Sadly this is one of the manufacturers no longer in business. I was able to get this stamp set during their close-out sale. I stamped the giraffe with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added color with Touch markers 91, 99, 101, 107. I added a bit of tumbled glass applied with a mini ink blending tool around the giraffe. For the die cut "Polaroid" frame, I used Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese, Again dies. I stamped the sentiment using the same stamp set. I die cut some leaves using PoppyStamps' Orchard Leaves die. I found a patterned paper and brown cardstock that coordinated and used those for the horizontal stripes. I adhered the pieces to a natural A2 card base to complete my card.

We'd love to see your take on our sketch in our gallery.

Time for our next challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! For the next two weeks, our challenge will be

By MAKE YOUR MARK, we mean use markers, inks, pencils, paints, sprays to, you know, MAKE YOUR MARK!

Here's my card

For my card, I started with an A2 panel of 100 lb bristol. I used a long narrow acrylic block and smooshed distress inks (cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon) onto the block, lightly spritzed with water and "stamped" the block onto the bristol. I repeated a couple of times until I had a look I was happy with. I used a wet paint brush to also move and blend the colors. When the panel was dry, I stamped the silhouette with Versafine Onyx Black ink using Gina K Design's Wild Blossoms stamp set. The sentiment uses Hero Arts' Year Round Sentiments stamp set with Gina K Design's Ocean Mist ink. To complete my card, I adhered the bristol panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #603

It's also Monday and that means a new challenge at Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge

Here's my card

For my card, I used Simon Says STAMP's Beautiful Mothers stamp set. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock. I added color with Touch Markers - 7, 14, 58, 84, 101, 144, 147, 172, 183. I trimmed the panel to 3 1/4" x 5 3/4" and matted with purple cardstock cut to 3 1/2" x 6". For the sentiment, I used a scrap of orange cardstock and Clearly Besotted's A Little Sentimental stamp set. I adhered the panel to a white mini slimline cardsbase 3 1/2" x 6" to complete my card.

AAA Cards ~ Challenge #278

Ready for a new Clean and Simple challenge at AAA Cards? For the next two weeks, here is our challenge

Here's my card

For my card, I used Simon Says STAMP's Tri Square die. I remember seeing this die and thinking that I had to have it. I think that this might be the first time I actually used it. Do you have things in your stash that you HAD to have and then, never use it? OK - you don't have to answer that question - LOL! I die cut the front of a white A2 card base with the die. On a white A2 panel, I lightly marked with a pencil the area just beyond the edges of the "windows" and ink blended with distress inks - peacock feathers, tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon, applied with oval ink blending brushes. For the critters, I used Taylored Expressions' Sneak a Peek stamp set. I stamped the critters with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock. I added color with Touch markers 21, 56, 85, 107, CG5, WG3 and fussy cut them. I glued the critters to the back of the front of the card base, so that they were visible through the "windows". I stamped the sentiment using Spellbinders' Fill My Heart Sentiment stamp set, received as part of the Crop & Create Delivered March 2023 event box with Gina K Design's Ocean Mist ink. I trimmed the A2 panel slightly and adhered it to the back of the front of the card with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see how you interpret this sketch in our gallery.

Our November challenge at Die Cut Divas is

ANY HOLIDAY IN THE YEAR

Our sponsor this month is Birch Press Design who will be giving our winner a $20 gift card to their online store. Thank you Birch Press Design for your generosity.

Here is my card

For my card, I used Birch Press Design's Littletown Village die set. I die cut the shacks, roofs, trees from white cardstock. I ink blended color onto the shacks and trees using Concord & 9's Parsley and Honeysuckle ink, applied with mini ink blending brushes. I could have used colored cardstock but like the bits of color variation when ink blending. I used Simon Says STAMP's Stitched Slopes and Hills dies to die cut the slopes using white cardstock. I arranged the slopes, trees and shacks in place and glued them only a white A2 cardbase. For the sentiment, I used Birch Press Design's Merry Christmas Confection Script dies. I die cut both parts from white cardstock and ink blended the outline with Concord & 9's Honeysuckle ink. I glued the sentiment pieces together and glued it onto the card base to complete my card.

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It has been some time since I've joined the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Earlier this week, I believed that I had lots of time to get crafty and create something for this blog hop. Yet, here it is, Friday morning and I've just finished my card and going to upload it, as soon as I finish this blog post. So much for good intentions!

Here's my card

For my card, I used Unity Stamps' Kitty to Go stamp set. I stamped the main image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock. I added color with Ohuhu markers - E293, G191, G862, R192, Y360, Y691, YG020 and Copic markers - C1, C3, C5, E41. I trimmed the white panel down and matted with a golden colored cardstock. I found some patterned paper that complemented my image and cut a 2" strip of that for some added color and interest. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and trimmed to a 3/4" strip. I adhered all the pieces in place on a cream A2 card base to complete my card.
