CAS on Sunday - Glitter or Sequins

We are enjoying the lovely weather this weekend.  A bit of tennis, a bit of hiking, and a bit of yard work!  All fun!

We have another challenge starting over at CAS on Sunday.  The theme for this challenge is Glitter or Sequins.  I choose to focus on glitter...here's what I came up with.




This is a small 4 x 4 card.  A simple design!

One small die cut and some glitter paper to add a bit of sparkle.

I added a bit of foam tape to pop up the main image.  The sentiment is heat embossed!

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see the dimension created by the foam tape.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Shadow

I'm just loving this time of the year...lots of rain this winter so our draught is over and the backyard garden is just amazing.  The husband has been slowly making his way back to the tennis court and I'm soooooo happy!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More. Our theme for this week is Shadow.  I struggled over this one...it was hard for me to come up with something a bit different. I finally took some inspiration from my garden and here is what I came up with.

I didn't want to use a bright white cardstock, so I picked a Caramel colored cardstock from Bazzill.

I used distress ink to make my background.  Then simple die cut the opening in my card base and then added the die cut flowers.  Stamped the sentiment and done!  I think this will be my Mother's Day card!

Here's a closer look at the card. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Grunge

It is becoming summer here...nice warm temperatures!  Got the husband on the tennis courts again! Yeah, so happy!


We have another challenge starting at Addicted to CAS.  The theme for this week is Grunge.  I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go with this theme.  Grunge with clean and simple was a bit challenging for me.  Here's what I ended up with...looking forward to seeing what you come up with!






I used my stencil and distressed ink and added my favorite colors.  Then simply added the sentiment. Super fast and easy!

Less is More - Stripes

Enjoying the lovely weekend.  So nice to hang in the yard and enjoy the spring blooms.

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More!  Our theme for this week is Stripes!  I'm sure you have tons of great ideas for this theme, and we can't wait to see them.  Here's my take on the theme, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

This is a super quick card.  I simply stamped my flags at the top of the card in rainbow colors.

Once that was done, I added the sentiment!

Done!

Here's a close up of the card.  One-layer and super simple!

Tag You're It - Challenge #70

What a beautiful spring day!  Nice week to be on the courts playing both singles and doubles.  The beautiful weather is continuing so more fun to come!

We also have a challenge starting over at Tag You're It!  Here's the inspiration tag...from our guest designer Kim Heggins.  Isn't this just the cutest tag ever?

I'm sure you can come up with a bunch of great tags with this fun inspiration. Here's my take on the challenge, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I started by stamping my balloons on the tage and coloring them with copics. I masked the balloons and added the brick background.

I then stamped my bear on separate card stock and colored him.  I was going to pop him on on foam tape, but in the end, I just glued him on the tag.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

CAS on Sunday - Stencil

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!  If I was organized enough, I would have created an Easter Card, but alias...my organization skills need a bit of work!

Anywho, we have another challenge over at CAS on Sunday starting today.  Our theme for this challenge is Stencil.  You must use a stencil on your design.

Here's my take on the challenge, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!




I started by grabbing one of my favorite stencils, then adding a bit of distressed ink...a little two tone yellow.  I then stamped and colored my image.

I cut it out and popped it up on some foam tape.  I thought the card needed a bit of additional color around the stencil, so I stamped some small red dots. I then added the sentiment and done!

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see the dimension I used in popping up the main image on foam tape!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
