AAA Cards Challenge #287

We have really switched up the challenges this year on the AAA Cards Challenge. This time we are playing with this game panel. You will create a card with the center circle prompt and add to it one of the outer circles too.

I used silhouette and organic shape on my one-layer card. The stamp set I used is from Stampers Anonymous, Spring Shadows.

I hope you will play along with the team!

 

AAA Cards Challenge #286

Hey there. We are going to "Follow My Lead" with Kristen for our challenge on the AAA Cards Blog. 

I used Kristen's color palette and general layout to create my birthday card. 

Stamps: Papertrey Ink KIS Birthday

Dies: Altenew Balloon

The Stamp Market Hey 

So... let's see what you create following Kristen's lead.

Altenew March Inspiration Challenge

Hey there. The color palette for the March Challenge at Altenew just made me think of some apples I had recently purchased.  So I whipped out my Educators Rule set and I used the Fresh Flowers die set to make the leaves.

I used a ruler and an aqua alcohol marker to create the lines.

 

AAA Cards Challenge #285

 Are you looking for a little SPRING in your world? We have it on the AAA Cards Challenge today.

I decided to use a rainbow of inks to create my card with two greeting sets for Paper Smootches, Vanilla Verbage Icon and Fun & Flirty.

I hope you will join us for some CAS "SPRING" inspiration!

Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things Release

 
Good morning! Simon has a new release today called Favorite Things! The set I got to work with is titled "One for the Books". This is super fitting for me as I have always loved to read. I feel like it transports you to other places and times or lets you solve crimes. So here we go with some fun book cards. By the way I just love the font on the sub phrases.

This card used a bunch of the neutral ink colors from the Concord and 9th ink line to create my card base then I stamped and fussy cut out one book for my focal point.

This could have been a simple, one layer card but I did add the panel popped up with foam tape. The background stencil is from Tim Holtz, Sparkle Fade.

I added a bit of gold heat embossing to my card with Simon's Detail Embossing Powder.

And finally, here are a few more ideas I was playing with. Thanks for stopping by Sue.

AAA Cards Challenge #284

 Good morning! If you have followed me for any amount of time you know I love a great sketch challenge. Today on the AAA Cards Challenge we have our first sketch challenge of the year.

I rotated the sketch and using the Papertrey Ink Bubble Talk and Heart Squared sets to create my CAS design with three shades of ink and a little heat embossing.

Altenew Febuary Inspiration

 Hey there. We are traveling for a few months but wanted to play with the fun color palette on the Altenew Challenge. It is a unique one to use with flowers.

My card features the products from the Chocolate Flowers kit. Stamps, stencils and dies.
