AAA Cards Challenge #147

Hello, it's time for a new challenge over at AAA Cards.

Our very generous sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays with a $25 gift code for the lucky winner.  Our guest designer is the lovely Angie Cimbalo with a stunning card for you.

For my card today I have used "Love Notes" and "Heart Beats" stamp sets from CAS-ual Fridays.  I started by stamping the love notes down the edge of my card panel in black ink, then sponged some colour over the top using Catherine Pooler Inks. I splattered some water drops over the ink then stamped the sentiment using the same black ink and foam mounted the card panel onto a top folding card base.

We would love you to join us, all you have to do is make a CAS card as per our theme above and link it up to our blog HERE.  Just remember we like to see lots of White Space on your cards!

Thanks for visiting!

You should have come here from Courtney's channel and next up is Joy Baldwin, you can click HERE to take you over to Joy's you tube channel.

Now on to my card!
I stamped the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Frankly" stamp set with CP Midnight ink.  Next I stamped the flowers from Altenew
 " Weekend Doodles" and coloured them in with alcohol markers.  A few days later I decided it needed a little bit more colour so I added some Prisma pencils over the top to brighten it up a bit. I also added some dots to the flowers with a white gel pen.

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays June release!
Today we are showcasing the Stars A2 Panel Fri-Die.

I die cut the Stars Panel from white and black card stock and adhered them together slightly offset to give the shadow effect. I adhered the panel onto an alcohol ink background piece using liquid glue and inlaid some of the black stars back into the panel. The sentiment was stamped onto a separate piece of white card stock and I fussy cut around it and adhered it using some dimensional tape.

CAS-ual Fridays June Release -Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays new release!

Today we are showcasing the Flakey A2 Panel Fri-Die.
This is a beautiful snow flake cover die!
  
I sponged some distress ink onto a piece of white card stock and stamped the ballerina from "Sugar Plum Fairy" Stamp set in blue ink.  I thought she was a perfect fit for this die.  I stamped the sentiment from the same set along the bottom of my die cut panel and adhered directly onto the sponged piece. I added some spots of  glitter for a bit of added sparkle.

CAS-ual Fridays Boston Terriers

Hello, I'm up on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with this cute card I made for a Boston Terrier owner. 

I had previously posted a card on my Instagram page using the Nate & Friday Stamp set and a friend saw it and asked if I could maker her one for her daughter who owns a Boston Terrier.

I stamped one of the gorgeous pups ( I believe it is Nate) in black and cut it out with my scan n cut.  Next I sponged some purple ink over the Modern Petals Stencil onto my card panel and adhered my Boston Terrier using some foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Sayings and added a strip of striped paper.

WWC221 - Tristan's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Hello and happy Wednesday,  that means it's time for a new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday.

This week Tristan is our host with a Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.

I'm slowly getting better at making masculine cards thanks to Watercooler Wednesday!

For my card today I have used the cute "Nate & Friday" stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays.  I stamped my cute little Boston Terrier in black ink and coloured him in with Prisma pencils.  I did some flicking with a black pencil to try to give the effect of short fur. It's a bit hard to tell in the photo.  I used a stencil from Funky Fossil for the background and stamped the sentiment from the same CAS-ual Fridays stamp set.

Come join in the fun at Watercooler Wednesday.  All you have to do is make an "anything goes" Masculine card and link it up to our challenge post.  Check out the projects that the other artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created for some inspiration.

A cup of pretty coffee for CAS-ual Fridays and the Coffee Lovers!

Hello, I am up on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with a card for day 2 of the Spring/ Summer Coffee Lover's blog hop!  

CAS-ual Fridays are one of the many sponsors so make sure you hop on over and check out the blog hop.

I love pretty things and the "Coffee Talk" sentiment stamp set is perfect for my floral coffee card!

I die cut the coffee cup from the "Coffee Cup" Fri-Dies  in pink card stock and sponged around the edge with pink ink.  Then I die cut the "coffee" from the same Fri-die set out of pink and white card stock and layered them together slightly off setting the white one to give the shadow effect.  I also used a pink Prisma colored pencil around the edge of the "coffee" word to make it stand out a little bit more.  I die cut some flowers from the "4 Petals" Fri-dies in pink card stock and added some color again with the Prisma colored pencils.

I adhered the coffee cup and petals onto a card panel with dimensional tape and stamped the sentiment above and below my pretty coffee with black ink.  The card panel is also adhered to my top folding card base with dimensional tape.

You can click on the below images to take you directly to the shop.
