Addicted to CAS Challenge - Spring

It's good to be back!  This was a long break, and I was missing this challenge!

I like Spring time cards - they are very cheerful.  I used a Stampin Up set; Best Blossoms, along with a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping, Cherry Blossoms.

A few months back, Catherine Pooler inks were all the rage.  I have some, [Mini Ink Pads; Life of the Party set], and since this image was solid, I used them.  I can say, I was impressed.  This was stamped one time, and the images came out really covered.  [My stamps are so old, they are still on wood, so realigning is more work then I want to do - as is removing them from the wood block and using my MISTI.  Yes I'll admit it, I can be a lazy stamper. 😏]  Overall, this card fits the challenge; CAS and a cheerful Springtime card.

Your turn!  Come on back to Addicted to CAS and join in the fun with your Spring card!

Just Us Girls Challenge #672 - CAS Card Week

I wanted to make some baby thank you cards for the future [yep, they are engaged] daughter-in-law, and this challenge was perfect!

Look at those fun tiny feet!  I think this is a perfect thank you card for a new mom.  [I'm just hoping she uses them!  This generation....they are different from mine ;)].  I used a Stampin Up set, I'm here.

I made her 10.  Should she like them, and needs more, they will be easy to create!

Your turn!  Come on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge and show us your 1/3 CAS card!

Seize the Birthday Challenge - Things in a Garden

 

For this challenge, I went deep into my closet for a really old Stampin Up set, Embrace Life.  I really love SU images, I just don't use them very often!  That said, they worked perfectly for some flowers in a garden

A different style of card for me, but feedback I got said "I like it, go with it" - so, I am.  I had plans to sponge the background, but didn't have any daubers [I was at a friend's house] so I just went direct to paper.  It gives a different look for sure. [Yes, it's growing on me].

I highlighted the images with some Copics, and used a handmade sentiment.

Your turn!  Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  While the things in a garden is an option, being a birthday is not.  Have fun!

Just Us Girls Challenge #671 - Moodboard Week

I do love me a good moodboard! 😀

Here is a better view:

When I saw the lemons, I instantly thought of my Dare 2B Artzy stamp set - Lemon Zest. 

 

There are matching dies to this set, I just don't have them, so I used my Scan & Cut machine.

 

I also used the fun Hello Die with background. I adore the font of this die!  Overall, I am happy with this cheerful, inspired card!

 

Your turn! Come on over to the JUGS Challenge and show us how you are inspired by the moodboard!

Just Us Girls Challenge #670 - Word Week

You can't go wrong with rainbow!

When I saw the Freshly Made Sketches #576, I thought of some scribble dies I have, [that I have never used - I won't tell you I have had them at least 5 years!], that would work quite well in rainbow colors!

Yep - worked awesomely :).

These are delicate die cuts, so I used adhesive spray for gluing... Sheesh I have it all over my hands - what I mess!  At least I like my card :).  Here is the sketch;

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS Challenge #670 and show us how you use rainbow.

Seize the Birthday Challenge - Card for a Child

I love this challenge.

 

My great nephew is going to love this card!  It's so appropriate for him, he is 5.

I take no credit for this fun card.  I found it on Pinterest, and yep, I had to CASE it!

Just check out those teeth!  I smile every time I look at him!  I'm also entering this into the Double D March Challenge; Green.  I think he works :)

Your turn.  Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  A card for a child is optional, being a birthday card is not.  Have fun!

Happy Little Stampers March Stencil Challenge

 

We are back!  Gosh it seems like forever since we took our break!  

 

I saw a reel on Instagram in making our own stencil and thought I would give it a try.  It worked rather brilliantly!

 

I used 2 shades of Oxide blue ink, and a really old Spellbinder Label 3 die for the cut out shape.  I do like how this turned out.  Simple, but gets the point across.

I used a sentiment from [OOB] Inspired By Stamping set.

Your turn.  This challenge is always anything goes, and lasts all month.  Hopefully you can join in over at Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge.
