AAA Cards Challenge #236

 Hello. Hope you are getting glimpses of spring in your part of the world. It takes a bit for us to see it here in northern Iowa. We have a new challenge up in the AAA Cards Challenge blog today.

I chose the birthday song as the inspiration for my card.  Using four die sets for my letters and numbers.

Sizzix: Alphanumeric Upper

Papertrey Ink: Large Numbers & Block Alphabet

Cutterbee: Alphabet

The greeting is from Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words and I backed the letters with washi tape.

I hope you will join us on this fun challenge. Thank you for stopping by, Sue.

AAA Card Challenge #235

 Hey there! We are doing a bit of ink-blending on the edge for this next challenge on the AAA Cards Challenge.

Here again this was a super quick card to come together. I had purchased some of the new Simon Says Stamp ink so I used that for my edge blend. I started with the darkest color of the trio along the edge and worked into the lightest color.

Then using the Stamp Market Dear Friend set I stamped over the ink blending. I added a bit of heat embossing to make the greeting pop. Please remember the rules of CAS when you are creating your cards. Thanks for stopping by, Sue.

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #47

 Hey there. We have a new challenge up on the AAA Birthday Card Challenge blog.

I wanted to take the stripes and dots and give it a little twist with my Trigonometry set from Altenew.  So after selecting my palette I stamped the dotted and stripe triangles on the left side of my white card panel. Then added a few dots from the Ellen Hutson, Bokeh Dots stamp set. The deer image is from Stampers Anonymous, Modern Christmas stamped in black. I wound some twine around my panel before mounting it to a caramel card base with foam tape. Finally adding a few black glossy Nuvo drops. The greeting is also from the Trigonometry set.

I love cards that have that graphic feel to them. I want to thank you for stopping by and I hope you plan to join us on this challenge. Sue.

CAS Colours and Sketches #505

Hi there. When I look at all my cards, I think you must not think I have any colored cardstock. LOL. A very long time ago I was a Stampin' Up! demo and I still have a very large selection of colored cardstock. Two file drawers full. White is just my go too. We have a new sketch up on the CAS Colours and Sketches blog today.

I rotated my card design 90 degrees from the sketch, but it could easily be done in the landscape orientation.

AAA Cards Challenge #234

 Hello. We have a new challenge up on the AAA Cards Challenge blog today. 

If you have ever wondered how far in advance I work on the card and blog posts, I received this Ellen Hutson Stay Cool stamp set back in June of 2022 and started creating this card. LOL. I love to get things checked off my "to do list".

I had also purchased some of the SSS Pawsitively Saturated ink pads so it was a great time to try both out. Beautiful smooth stamping with the ink. I also used the All About You stamp set for Ellen for the greeting. This was such a fun, one layer card to create using ink-layering.

I hope you will join us in this circle challenge and thanks so much for stopping by, Sue.
