Brewed for You for Addicted to CAS #223

Happy Saturday It's the fabulous Raga's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and I used her code word as an excuse to ink up my just arrived Brewed for You. I've seen so many great cards made with this set and I paired it with a stencil from the Stamp Market. The stencil gave me my grid and also acted as a ground for the focal elements. I finished off the card with a stitched frame and popped the beers up on foam tape. I thought of my folks the minute I saw this set. Although... Read more →

Sketchbook Roses for Paper Players #596

Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's Clean and Simple week. I used my Sketchbook Roses set from The Greetery for this challenge - here's a sneak peek: I had fun with my watercolors for this card. I'm trying really hard to not control the paint and just let it be. I have a long way to go... but did do better this time :-) Here's our challenge this week: I love one layer cards.

Here's our challenge: I began by stamping and die-cutting my little robin and then die-cut and blended browns onto the nest. I choose my favorite stencil - Knit Wits - to add background to my scene. All I needed to do was to stamp Happy... Read more →

Masculine Birthday for Paper Players #584

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week. The sketch made it perfect to use up some fabulous DSP that I have been hoarding for years! I used my old my favorite thing rectangle dies to cut three pieces of DSP and glued them onto my card base. All I had to do was stamp a large sentiment and die-cut it, add a couple of birds and, voila, the card was done! Here's my card: I hope you will join us and play along with our challenge this week. We would love to... Read more →

Gillfriends for Addicted to CAS #216

Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Vicky's turn to host our AddictedtoCAS this week and this is her code word. Now, as I am just on the cusp of Pisces - and I mean just! On some calendars I am listed as Aries and others Pisces. Regardless I was born at 11pm-ish on March 20 and I just love water! So, this challenge was right up my alley and was a perfect excuse to ink up one of my favorite My Favorite Things stamp sets called Gill Friends! I began by masking off one third of my card base and blending... Read more →
