Less is More - Colored Cardbase

Another beautiful week here in California.  It has been a hectic week, but for all good reasons.  Tons of fun, tennis, and family!  Doesn't get better than that!

Remember...I have a Giveaway going on for another week, so find out how to participate here!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge, which will be running for two weeks, is using a colored cardbase...anything but white!  On top of that, this is a one layer challenge.  I love one layer challenges, because I can color, which is my favorite technique. However, this gave me a bit of pause with a color card base...so instead, I went for super simple!

Addicted to CAS - Summer

Well it is a perfect summer day, which is just in line with the newest challenge from Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is summer!  Lots of fun opportunities with this theme.  Here's what I came up with for the challenge...




This is a super fun card to make...I started by sponging the background. I then stamped the images and colored them with copic markers.  I used the inlaid die technique for the penguin and the sentiment.  Lastly, I adhered the tree to the polaroid.  I used foam tape to give the polariod a bit of dimension, but first added a bit of interest to the yellow card stock by stamping a few suns!

Here's a bit of a close up of the card.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Colors of the Flag

Another beautiful week here in sunny California!  Don't forget I have a give away right now, and if you are interested in winning a die and sequins pack check out this post to see how to enter!

We also have another challenge starting over a Less is More.  Our theme for today is using the colors of your countries flag. This was easy for me since I was in need of a thank you card and wanted to use a particular set from My Favorite Things.  Here's my take on the challenge...

This is a super simple card.  I stamped the image on some white card stock and colored it with Copic markers.  Since this is a small image it was easy and quick to color.  I then used my rectangle die and cut out the image.  I added some red paper to frame the main focal point.

Here's a close up of the card.  I decided not to pop up the image on foam tape to allow for easier mailing.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

CAS on Friday - Flowers

What another beautiful summer week!  Just love this time of the year...lots of outdoor activities! Remember, I have a giveaway going on...check it out here!

We have another challenge starting over at CAS on Friday!  Our theme for this challenge is Flowers.  I'm using my favorite flower stamp set.  Here's what I came up with...

Super simple card.  I started by die cutting the inner rectangle.  Added my flowers and the sentiment.

Then used the inlaid die technique to put everything together.

Super simple!











Here's a close up of the card.  You can see that that it is flat, but the stitching around the main image adds interest to the card.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Giveaway!!!

I'm slowly going through my supplies and thought that I would pass on the ones that I don't use that often in hopes that someone else can provide some tender loving care!

For my first giveaway, I have a brand new (never used) die from My Favorite Things--Radiant Sun.  I always was thinking this would be a fun shaker card so I will also be giving away a pack of star sequins to go along with the die!

For a chance to win this die and sequin pack, simply make a shaker card and send it to me at the address below by July 18, 2017 (don't forget to include your address).  I will select one winner from the cards that I receive by July 18!

Addicted to CAS - White on White

Wow, I'm so glad the week is over...the heat is killing my ability to play tennis!  But not too bad today, so the husband and I will hit the courts in a few hours!

We have another challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS today!  This one is a bit difficult for me...white on white!  I love color, so this was a challenge.  Here's what I came up with!

Pretty simple shaker card...but I maybe cheated a little tiny bit...some of the sequins are a very light pink!

Anywho...looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
