CAS (W) Mix Up June Reminder Flight

Our CAS (W) Mix Up Reminder Flight Cards for more Inspiration Hosted by Viv.

Be sure to check out the beautiful and clever CAS cards by our DT!

You still have until the 24th to play along.  We Love it when you join us😀

My card using Watercoloring, Stamping, Heat Embossing and Die Cut.

I love this beautiful Penny Black Nature Allure stamp set, which is a Christmas set, but I paired it with  STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies 2 stamp set sentiment for CAS (W) Mix Up Flight Challenge.

The bird on the pine branch looks like a baby bird to me getting brave enough to fly😀

I stamped the bird image with Versafine Black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper, then heat embossed with SU Clear EB Powder.  Then the fun watercoloring with Zigs.  Next die cut the frame with Spellbinder Rectangle Hemstitch Die then stamped and added the stamped sentiment.

Then attached card front to SU Garden Green cardstock,  added Wink of Stella to the entire image and Done!  I was pleased with the results.  Hope you like it too.

We would love to have you join us if you have not already.  Love and Hugs..

CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Snowman

I am joining in the fun at CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Snowman,  hosted by the clever and creative CAS designer,  Hideko.  You will be inspired by the wonderful Guest Designer, Steph (My Paper Corner) and the Design Team.  Be sure and check out their fun snowmen!

I used  STAMPlorations Shirley Bee's "Layered Snowman" stamp set. Such a fun and versatile set.

 I stamped the Layered Snowman body and then stamped his head using Archival Jet Black ink.  Next added the stamped face at an angle and buttons then fussy cut his stamped top hat that I had colored with Zigs.

Next Attached the snowman to Strathmore Mixed Media A2 size paper  and added his fussy cut top hat at an angle...because he does have a bit of an attitude...I think!

Then I stamped his arms...he is waiting impatiently for more snow to fall!!

Wouldn't you have an attitude...if you were a snowman or snowlady?!?

Next stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed.

Then added some snow to ground him,  which made my snowman a bit happier.

Used Connect Glue and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for the very sparkly snow.

Then die cut the border with Reverse Confetti "Lacey Scallop Frame" Confetti Cuts.

Layered over SU Real Red Cardstock and attached the card front to the SU Basic White 100# card base and Done!

Such a fun challenge, Hideko😀 You still have until the 24th to play along.

CAS Christmas Card August Challenge: Glitter

Another wonderful Christmas Challenge hosted this month by Loll!

Gorgeous Glittery cards by the awesome DT and the very talented Guest Designer, 

Michelle (Seashell Creations).

My CAS Christmas Card.  Yes,  there is Glitter,  but it is Wink of Stella

and we all know how it is impossible to photograph. 

The wreath and bird are so glittery:-)

I placed the Strathmore Mixed Media card front in MISTI.  Off set the 

Penny Black "Tweet Wreath"  stamp on the card front (it is a large wreath).

Stamped the wreath with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and spritzed with water 

then stamped the card front. Stamped again with DI Pine Needles.

When dry removed card front from MISTI.

Colored the open leaves and berries with Zigs and water brush.

Placed card front back in MISTI to arrange bird on leaves.

Colored  bird stamp with Zigs and spritzed with water. 

Then stamped bird on scrap of MM paper.

Colored eye with 03 black art pen and white under eye with white gel pen.

Removed card front from MISTI and die cut the border with Penny Black

Leaf Stitched Frames,  which  I am loving!

Placed card front in MISTI...again!!  Stamped and heat embossed the PB

"Smile All Season" sentiment. Attached to card base and covered the wreath

and bird with Wink of Stella Glitter and Done!

Loved the results so much that I made 3 more cards now that

I had the design figured out and all my supplies out:-)

I loved the CAS design and the pretty glitter.

Thank you Loll for a wonderful challenge.  You have until the 24th to play! Hugs!
