CAS on Sunday - Repetition

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.  Another day for tennis today.  Tomorrow is a rest day, so all is good.

We have a new challenge starting over at CAS on Sunday.  Our theme for this challenge is Repetition. No better theme than that...I could make 100 cards...but then I couldn't play tennis!  Anywho...here is my take on the theme...




Super quick and easy card....I simply stamped my cupcakes and colored them with copic markers.  A little stamping around the cupcakes.  I added a bit of color by adding the red cardstock and added the sentiment in black.









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

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Shimmer

A beautifully sunny week this week.  I was able to get in tennis every day, but the best day is today, because I get to play with the husband.  He is slowly making his way back to the court and doing amazing!


We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Shimmer. A fun theme, that I'm sure will generate a ton of interest.  Here is my take on the challenge...



This is a pretty simple card.  I used the Tri Die set to cut the squares.  I inked up some paper with the various colors and cut the hearts from some glitter paper...then it was a simple puzzle to put together the pieces using the inlaid die technique.

I heat embossed the sentiment and done!

Here's a close up of the card...you can see it is flat, easier for mailing.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Graduation

A beautiful week with tennis everyday...good thing it was mostly doubles!

We have another challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  For this challenge, our theme is Graduation.  This was a bit of a struggle for me as I have no traditional graduation stamps...so I thought I would do something a bit more cute....here's what I came up with.

The year of graduation was added with the inlaid die technique, after I sponged the numbers with an Ombre effect.  I then stamped and colored my little bird and the sentiment.  I then popped the bird and the sentiment on foam tape.

The card still looked a bit empty to me so I stamped the confetti.

Here's a close up...you can see the dimension in the bird!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Geometric

We recently got back from Hawaii and while we had an amazing time there visiting new places and enjoying the weather, my husband picked up a bit of a flu on the way home...so a bit of recovery time for him this week.

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  The challenge for this week is Geometric. If you are a regular follower you'll notice we have been in a bit of a roll on shapes...well let's keep it going.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.  Here is my take on the challenge...

This is a quick and easy one layer card.  I simply stamped the red tree and masked it.  I then stamped the other two trees and added the sentiment.  I thought it needed something a little extra so I added the grey stars....now looking at it I'm thinking I should have added some silver stars instead...oh well. I can do that next time.  This will be a very easy card to mass produce for the holidays!

Here's a close up of the card. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge!

Tag You're It Challenge #71

We are back from Hawaii!  We had an awesome time...checking out parts of the island we had missed prior.  Love the "Up Country," far less touristy and absolutely beautiful!

We have a challenge going on over a Tag You're It.  We are now holding our challenge on a monthly basis, so you have lots of time to participate.  Here's the inspiration tag from our guest artist...Lindsey.

Here is my take on the inspiration...I focused on florals with my main images red.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

This is a super easy tag.  I simply stamped my images with black ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  Because the little blue flowers are so small, I colored them with Copics then used colored pencils to add a bit of shading.
