The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - CAS

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge is to create a CAS card/project.

For my card I used Canson Hot Press 140lb watreoclor paper.  The image was stamped using Archival Black ink and colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and an aqua bursh.  The image and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Co. Rebuild Your Life stamp set.

The Outlawz CAS Challenge - Masculine Birthday

This week's CAS Challenge is to create a masculine birthday card.

For my card I used a stamp set from Unity Stamp Co., a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the background and the heart was on my craft table left over from another project so I plunked it down onto my card!  The image was stamped onto watercolor paper and colored using distress inks and an aqua brush.

We hope you'll share your masculine birthday cards with us this week at the Outlawz CAS Challenge.

Cute Cat for the Cheapo Dies Inspiration Blog

I'm very excited to be part of the Cheapo Dies Design Team and to share my first project with you!

For my card, I used the Cheapo Dies Exclusive Cat die.  Love the size of this sweet cat image.  I first die cut using a piece of scrap designer paper then die cut again using 3 colors of cardstock to have to have the negative pieces to inlay into the die cut image.

Here's a close up of the die cut using the negative pieces:

You can find this adorable die (and many more!) in the Cheapo Dies online store:

Dies R Us Inspiration

I'm sharing a black and white, with a splash of red card on the DRU Inspiration Blog today.

I first die cut all the elements and used a stylus to shape the die cut flowers

Then, layered the red frame onto the diamond panel before adhering to the cardbase

Once on the cardbase I arranged one of the layered blooms and the die cut word to complete the card

Here's a close up of the stitched bloom

HMFMC #260 - Spring Colors

The House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #260 theme is always anything goes with the optional challenge of  Spring Colors.  I chose the Spring Colors theme.

For my card I used the House Mouse Spring Swing stamp.  The sentiment is from the Stampendous Spring Sentiments stamp set.  I colored the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and an aqua brush.  The patterned papers are from my stash.  I created a double loop bow using Really Reasonable Ribbon to embellish my card.

We hope you'll share with us at the HMFMC #260 Challenge using any House Mouse, Happy Hoppers, or Gruffies stamps.
