Clean and Simple Card making with CAS-ual Fridays Mon Ami

Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today sharing a few clean and simple cards using the Mon Ami Stamp set.

It's no secret I love making CAS cards but sometimes I think maybe they are too CAS!  Is that possible!!   So I made a second one.

For my first card I stamped the flower and colored it in with alcohol markers.  I die cut it using the Mon Ami Fleur Die.  I stamped the sentiment and adhered the flower with foam tape.  I adhered the card panel onto a top folding card base with some more foam tape.   Now in my opinion that is a super CAS card.

For my second card I stepped it up a bit but still kept is fairly CAS.  This time I added some leaves to the stem and a little strip of striped paper along the bottom.  I also adhered three clear dew drops.

I am entering this one into the Flower Challenge #60 

Here they are side by side.  Which do you prefer?

Less is More Challenge #452

Hello  and happy Saturday.  It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More and this time we'd like to see you use hexagons on your card.

For my card I stamped a row of hexagons from a Catherine Pooler stamp set.

Then I grabbed an old set from Close to my Heart and stamped the bee and the sentiment in black ink.  I coloured the bee in with a blender pen and the same Catherine Pooler ink I used for the hexagons. 

We would love you to join in on our challenge, all you have to do is make a card using some hexagons and link it up over on our blog.  Click here to take you over to the blog and check out all the inspiration from the other DT members.

Hello, I have a sneak peek for you today of the soon to be released “Christmas Penguins” Scene Creator digital stamp set from Rachelle Anne Miller  .

If you would like the chance to win the latest new release, hop over to Rachelle Anne Miller Art  Instagram  page for all the details.

 How cute it this scene creator!  I started by printing several of the images onto some Neenah card stock with my laser printer.  I got colouring with some alcohol markers and cut them out using my ScanNCut.  I masked off a card panel and ink blended some Catherine Pooler inks.  I had a hard time choosing which images I wanted to use but now I have extra's for some more cards.  

I adhered them onto my card panel and hand wrote a sentiment.  I added some white gel pen over the tree and sky and called it a day!

I am entering this card into the Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #559.

There are so many cute images in this set, the possibilities are endless.

Hello and happy Saturday!  Today is the start of a new challenge over at Less is More and we would love to see some sparkle on your card.

 

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is  Viv  from Daizy Mae Designs with a gorgeous sparkly card.

I have used a digital image from CC Designs along with a couple of CAS-ual Fridays stamp sets.

I started by printing the chickie from CC Designs Chickies onto some Neenah card stock and coloured it in with Copics and Prisma pencils.  I added some glitter to the feathers and  cut the image out using my Scan n Cut.  I stamped the music notes (CAS Fridays Love Notes Stamp set) onto a card base and added some glitter using a glue pen.  I adhered the bird with some foam tape and stamped the sentiment from the CAS Fridays Little Birdies stamp set.

CAS-ual Fridays Digi Stamp

Hello everyone,  I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today sharing a few cards using a digital stamp!

Do you remember the now retired Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp set?  Well it is now available as a digital stamp in the shop.  It's no secret I love playing with digi stamps.  I find them easy to work with and I love the fact that  you can resize them.  I also don't have to stalk the mail man!

I have two cards to share with you today in two different sizes.

I am entering into the following challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #556.

Christmas Card Throwdown - Birds

I started by printing out two different sizes on one piece of card stock.

I used a light weight card stock for printing digi stamps and a laser printer for this project. You can also use an inkjet printer but I find you need to heat set the image before using alcohol markers so the print doesn't smudge. 

Next I die cut them using two rectangle dies also in different sizes.

I coloured them in using a combination of alcohol markers and coloured pencils.

I matted the larger one onto some red card stock and added it to a top folding card.

I adhered the smaller one using some foam tape onto a top folding card base.
