CAS card set

 

The current Double Trouble Challenge is 

Challenge #164 "CAS Less But Better" partnering with Crafter's Cafe 

 

 

 

Yesterday I made a card for this pair of challenges.

(Please scroll down for details.)

I mentioned making a set of matching cards.

That's exactly what I did. 

I'll be entering both challenges with the yellow card.

 

(On this card I used a marker to outline the stenciled hearts and added some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.)

Send A Smile 4 Kids February 2023 Challenge #234

The theme for the February Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is 

Easter/Spring Cards 4 Kids.

 

Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

We just want to see your wonderful creations

and hope you enjoy making and sharing them! 

 

Here's a set of cards I made for the February Challenge.

When I opened the box of Spring/Easter stuff  in my stash, I came across these 3 apertures from die cutting bunnies for previous cards.   They were perfect for a bit of Iris Folding.

 

Here's another fun card I created from the scraps in that box.

 

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids 

February Challenge.

(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative!

Great Impressions Stamps Card Set

Once the flowers start blooming, it isn't long before you start to see butterflies.  I thought I'd share a set of cards I've made using the Great Impressions Stamps Butterfly Frame H226S.
 I find a simple set of cards tied with a pretty ribbon makes a useful and lovely hostess gift.

I wrote the sentiments on the computer, aligning them with the right margin and spacing them far enough apart to accommodate the frame.  After printing them, it was easy to stamp the frame around the sentiment, color it with markers and pencils and then fussy cut.

The Great Impression Stamps  May Challenge has just begun.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #258

Lawn Fawn, a small Southern California company specializing in fun clear stamps, is the generous sponsor of this week's Tuesday Throwdown Texture Challenge.   Lawn Fawn also has dies available to match their stamps, as well as, acrylic blocks, inks, and other supplies.  Each member of the design team was allowed to select a stamp set to use.   I chose a set called On The Mend.  When my set arrived, it was so darn cute, I decided to make a set of CAS cards using various embossing folders and popping the images for texture.  By stamping all the images directly on colored or patterned paper, I didn't even need to do any coloring. 

 

Please stop by the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog for more inspiration on how to add texture to your cards.  And feel free to visit the blogs of the DT members.  We love it when you drop by and say HI!  

I am entering the last card with the cute kleenix box in the following challenges:
