Addicted to CAS Challenge #254 - Bloom


You can never go wrong with flowers on a card :).  Keeping it CAS - oh yes please.

I used Simon Says Little Sunflower Die. [Love this die!]  By adding some ink to the inside, it gives this flower a lot of depth. 

The Layered Hello Die is from Dare 2B Artsy.  [Really a great price point too!]

Your turn!  Come on over to Addicted to CAS Challenge and play along.  The gallery will be amazing!

Seize the Birthday Challenge #279 - Coordinating Tag

 

Making a matching tag is always fun as it adds a little gift into the birthday card you send!  My recipients are always happy with this little addition.

 

 I used the fun Simon Says Fab Flower.  Love the layering of this cutie.

(It really is a birthday card see the inside below.)


And here is the "gift" I will include in this card;

This totally matches the card, and totally works for this challenge, and for me :)


Your turn - Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and show us your matching tag, or if you want, just make a birthday card - that works too.

Just Us Girls Challenge #718 - Collaboration with Time Out Challenges

 

We are having a collaboration with the Time Out Challenge this time.  Our challenge will last for 2 weeks too!  Lots of time for you to play along, and get your card into 2 challenges! 

I've had this bird die for probably 10 years at this point, and finally, I am using him!  He's kind of cute right?

The sentiment is from Memory Box; Signature Greetings.  [Love the matching dies that come with this set!]

Your turn!  Apparently, if you upload to either JUGS or the TO Challenges, you will be entered into BOTH blogs!  Well, there's an easy way to enter 2 challenges.  We hope you join in the fun.  Oh yeah, there is a $25 prize also!

Playing over at SCS Sketch Challenge #1001

For my daily card - yep, I am trying to make a card every day. I might not do a blog post everyday, but I do need the creativity challenge.  Today, when I saw the sketch over at SCS, I instantly thought of the technique that Gina K had a video on a while back.

I used Gina K Designs; Wild Blossoms.  A lovely image for this technique.

My sentiment is computer generated.

That's it for today.  I had a great time  making this card.

Color Hues #82 - Tourquoise and Green

I got a reminder e-mail from Color Hues #82, and since I do adore these colors together, I decide to join in the fun. 

I hope it was okay that I used different shades of the colors.  If not, whoops.  I do like my end result though.


I went through my dies, picked out the ones I thought would go together, cut them out in the shades of colors, and adhered them.  I scored the background panel for some texture.

Lastly, I added a birthday sentiment.  Yep, love these colors together, and my card! 😀.
 
Thanks Color Hues - I had fun.

Just Us Girls Challenge #717 - Color Week

I do like green! 
 
I went into my stash of designer paper from Heartfelt Creations and found the perfect sheets.

It has the 2 shades of green - yay, and I colored the birthday muffin with a couple of shades of green.
I wanted contrast so I made the frosting red.

I just love how this muffin digital from STAMPlorations is able to make the size bigger.  I like a big ole birthday muffin!  The Happy Birthday sentiment is also from STAMPlorations [2 separate dies].  Just a side note, STAMPlorations has partially opened again! Yay!

Your turn!  Come on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge #717 and play along!  I'm looking forward to seeing the greens in the gallery~

Guesting at AAA Card Challenges #260


I am Guesting over at the AAA Card Challenge!  I like that 😀

I used some gel printed panels (from my stash), to cut out the butterfly shape.

I grabbed a sentiment (also from my word stash), and this CAS card was complete.

I hope you like the sketch and come on over to AAA Card Challenges and show us your card. You have until March 16th to join in.

Thanks AAA Card Challenge for having me as your Guest Designer.  I had fun!

Addicted to CAS Challenge - Friends

So many ways to create a card for this!
 
When I saw this challenge I instantly thought of a fun 20 year old wood stamp that I have.  This image totally makes me smile!
 
Aren't these 2 "friends" so fun?  Stick figures just make me happy.

The sentiment font goes perfectly too. 😀
 
Your turn!  Come on over to ATCAS and play along.
