CAS on Friday - Sequins

We have another challenge starting today at CAS on Friday.  Our theme for this challenge is a celebration card with sequins.  Certainly fun!  I don't really put sequins on cards unless I'm doing a shaker card...so here goes another shaker...

This is a fun die from Simon Says Stamp.  Makes for a quick a easy shaker card.  

I heat embossed my sentiment in silver embossing powder and added some light pink sequins from Lucy's.

This card is slightly smaller than an A2 card.

Super quick and fun!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Let It Shine

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  Here in the US we have a nice long weekend!  It has been a beautiful mild weathered weekend....tomorrow a bit of rain is scheduled, but other than that it feels like spring!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More today.  Our theme for this challenge is Let it Shine...use something shiny or glittery on your card.  Lots of opportunity to for that for the holidays!  I have several birthday's this time of the year, so I'm focusing on a few birthday cards!  Here's my take on the challenge...

This has become one of my go to birthday cards.  Simple, yet packs a punch!

I cut the sentiment image from some shiny silver paper...hard to see in this photo, but super shiny!

I added a few pink and red sequins and some shiny silver squares and stars.

Super fun and quick card to make!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

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!

Less is More - Celebrate

Time for another challenge over at Less is More.  This week is a special challenge, since we are on our 300th Challenge!  And, of course, our theme is Celebrations/Festivals.  I'm sure you will have a ton of ideas for this challenge!

My go to die for celebrations is one from My Favorite Things.  You can't go wrong with champagne! This card is for my sister-in-law's birthday...she loves champagne and pink, so this is a perfect combination!

This is a quick and easy shaker card, with an inlaid sentiment!  I used silver fold paper for the sentiment.


I added a few stars to the top layer of the card to add a bit of interest!

Super quick and easy and perfect for any celebration!

Here's a close up of the card!

Come on over and celebrate with us!  We would love to see what you come up with!

Less is More - Vellum/Acetate

Another fun challenge starting over at Less is More today.  This week our challenge theme is Vellum/Acetate.

For me, this theme just screams shaker card.  I haven't made a shaker card for awhile, so this is the perfect opportunity.  Here's my take on the challenge...


I used my Zig Real Brush markers to color my main issue.  I love the bold and bright colors, while still maintaining the water color look and feel.

I stamped the sentiment on the back panel behind the acetate and added the sequins and tiny stars.

I popped the main image up on foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

Actually a pretty simple card!

Here's a close up of the card, where you can see some of the dimension.

We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

CAS on Sunday - Sequins

Wow...I'm still tired from my match yesterday.  It was a super long one in the heat and I just got too tired in the second set...bummer....oh well, this will get me focused on being in better shape.  My husband was kind enough to get me warmed up for the match!  Thanks husband!

We have another fun challenge starting over at CAS on Sunday!  Hope you can come and join us. Our challenge theme is Sequins...how fun is that!

Here's my take on the challenge....sorry the photo looks a bit blurry, I had a difficult time with the shiny paper!

I started by die cutting my champagne flute and making a shaker card.  

I then die cut the sentiment in silver foil paper.  

To give the card a little extra sparkle, I added a few tiny stars and sequins around the champagne flute.

My friend Vicki is turning fifty this weekend and this is a perfect card for her!

It's turning out to be a great weekend...hope you have time to join in on the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge.  Just for playing along you have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate for STAMPlorations!





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

I started by die cutting the white cardstock with the "Thanks" Die and Presents.  I then simply stamped the sentiment in red.

I'm been wanting to make a shaker card with this die for quite some time so here's my opportunity.  I added some foam tape to the back and added some sequins.  Then applied the white card stock to my teal panel.

Then as a final touch I added a few hearts around the card.

Pretty simple!
