Addicted to CAS - Teal

Another beautiful day expected today.  Puppy training in the am and some tennis in the pm...then time with the husband--doesn't get better than that!


We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Teal---one of my favorite colors!


Here's my card for the challenge...

This is a pretty quick and easy card.  I simply stamped the image --- I just love this stamp set.

I used the inlaid die technique to add the birthday sentiment...makes this an easy card to mail.

All in all a pretty quick and easy card.

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!

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.

MarkerPop Challenge - Summer

There is a fun challenge over at Markerpop and I have a few minutes to enter before I head off to the gym.  The husband is feeling a little under the weather, so we are cancelling our tennis practice. Hopefully he will feel better soon!!!

The theme for the challenge is Summertime...and the inspiration is amazing.  I took a bit of a different take on the theme and went for the beach.

Here's my take on the challenge...

I started by inking up the sand, then the sky.  I then stamped and colored my images with copic markers.

I used the inlaid die technique to put the penguin and the tree in the scene--then stamped my sentiment one the bottom.
