CAS on Sunday - New Year

Can't believe it is almost 2017!  We are starting to new challenge over at CAS on Sunday and, you guessed it, our theme is "Happy New Year".

I always end up sending out several New Year cards, as I don't quite finish all of my Christmas cards. Here's what I created to bring in the new year!  Here's to hoping that 2017 bring in health and happiness to everyone!

This is a super simple card in my favorite size 4 x 4!

I simply stamped the images on cardstock and die cut them with my 2 x 2 square.  I used my Copics to color the image and I popped it up on foam tape.

I then used the inlaid die technique to add my sentiment.  And as a final touch, added silver stars to the sides.

Here's a close up of the card, you can see a bit of the dimension and the stars.

Less is More - Outline

Time for another post before I head out to play some tennis.  This week we have another challenge over at Less is More.  This is a One Layer Challenge and the theme is Outline.  At first I was a little nervous about this challenge as I wasn't sure what direction to go.  Then, after going through some old stamps, it came to me!

Here's my take on the challenge; hope you can play along, we would love to see what you come up with!

This is a simple go to style to make one layer cards look two dimensional.

I created a mask for the sentiment strip, then stamped the flowers, I reversed the mask and sponged distress ink along the banner.  Then use a grey marker to add shadows.












I'm also entering this card in the CASology Challenge.  The theme is space, which I'm defining as the white space on my card.

Tag You're It Challenge #62

Time for another challenge over at Tag You're It.  This is our last challenge for the year so hope you find some time to join us.  Here's the inspiration tag from our guest designer Laurie Willison!

I love the simplicity of her tag.  I took that idea and the Christmas colors as inspiration for my tag.  Here's what I came up with.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!




This is a super simple tag.  I started by stamping my sentiment then stamping the string of lights.

I colored them with Copics adding a bit of shading to give a little dimension.  And as a final touch added some wink of Stella to each bulb.

Here's my take on the challenge...

Super fun card to make.  I love this little stamp set!

I started my doing a partial die cut of the snow peeps.  I then stamped the images and colored them with copic markers. I then used embossing paste to add the snowflakes in the background.

I popped the snow peeps up on foam tape, added the sentiment and done!

Here's a close up of the image.  you can see the snow flakes a bit in the background.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

CAS on Sunday - Christmas

Another challenge starting over at CAS on Sunday!  Our theme for this challenge is Christmas.  I'm still trying to finish all of my Christmas cards, I think I'm a bit behind, but hopefully this challenge focuses me a bit :)

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

I started by stamping my images and coloring them with copic markers.

I then wanted to add a bit of color so I used my speech bubble die on red cardstock.  I stamp and heat embossed my sentiment.  I popped the speech bubble on foam tape and done!

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see the dimension on the speech bubble.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
