Addicted to CAS - Animal

Well another two weeks gone by and still under the shelter in place order!  I'm ready for this to be done, but must do what is needed for the welfare of all!

We do have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS!  Our theme for this challenge is Animal.  Perfect timing for me as I just made a card for my friend Barb and she loves dogs.  Here's my take on the challenge...

I simply stamped the image, then colored it with Copics.  A quick little card, but so sweet.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Less is More - No Sentiment

Crazy times...hope everyone is staying calm and healthy...this too shall pass!  In the meantime, since you are likely trying to limit your socializing, join us for a new challenge this week.  Our theme is No Sentiment.  You'd think this is super easy, but I find that without a sentiment sometimes I feel the card is not done...but this helps me push past that.

Here's my take on the challenge...

Okay, I know we are a ways from Christmas, but you can never start too early :)

Here's my simple card. 

Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Texture

Wow...talk about crazy times!!  Everyone is hunkering in place and it is so quiet.  Hoping that everyone is healthy and things return to normal soon!


In the meantime, we have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is texture.  Here's my take on the challenge...

I made a template for the hearts and used embossing paste for some texture.  Then popped up the sentiment on some craft foam.  Pretty simple!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Color Challenge

Expecting a wet and soggy day today...so more time to create indoors!

We have a new challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is a Color Challenge:  Red Raspberry and Grey. Such a beautiful combination.

Here's my take on the challenge...

This is a super fun card to make.  I started by stamping circles to the background of this card and using clear embossing powder (hard to see in the photo).

I then colored my little guy and popped him up on some craft foam. 

Super simple and fun!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Circles

A bit of a break until the next rain...which is coming in this next week.  Gotta get onto the court while we still can...

We also have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Circles.  Here's my take on the challenge...

This is a quick and easy card.  Just a little inlaid dye for the little circles.  I popped the bunny up using craft foam.

All super quick and easy.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Less is More - Tiny and Few

Wow, what a beautiful weekend.  Just in time for some fun super bowl festivities.  And my two favorite teams are battling it out, so one way or the other it is a win for me!

We have a new challenge starting today at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is Small and Few.  Time to pull out those tiny stamps and put them to work.  Here's my take on the challenge...

Just a quick little coloring of this sweet cake.  Added a little sparkle to the frosting and done!

Addicted to CAS - Ombre

Wow...can't believe it is still winter, technically...though with 70 degree weather outside, one would never know.  But this nice weather gives way to some great time on the courts!

We do have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this one is Ombre.  I love the look of this, but always kinda struggle on how best to use this on a card.  I'm in desperate need of birthday cards, so here's my take on the challenge...

This is really a CAS card...it is simple and frankly very quick.  I used the inlaid die method with this card, as I love the look and I enjoy putting together the puzzle.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Love this sassy lady enjoying the sun.  A simple card colored quickly with copic markers.
