So long, farewell

 

Today is sad day. Life has gotten very busy and I have had to cut back on my DT commitments. Everyone who knows me, knows that CAS is my go to style of stamping, so it is with great sadness that I have to leave CAS on Friday. This is my last posting. 

My last challenge is one that I am hosting. My theme for this challenge is :

TINY IMAGES

Do you know what I am talking about? I am thinking those small stamps that are filler with the other larger stamps in a stamp set. Or just any tiny stamps.

A perfect way to use little stamps is to create stenciled windows and scatter those tiny stamps across the stenciled areas and add a sentiment. This creates a quick, easy, clean and simple card.

I am posting this video to say "So long, farewell" to all my teamies at CAS on Friday. You are all an amazing group of artists!

You have two weeks to use those tiny little stamps that have not felt any inky love and share them with us at CAS on Friday!

Let's hear it for the ladies!

 Wow this is a bit unusual for me. And I gotta admit I was a stumped by this challenge at CAS on Friday. 

Today starts a new challenge at  CAS on Friday. We are asking you top put a 

LADYBUG

on it. I searched my stamps till I came across this set from Hero Arts that had a ladybug in the set. Instead of just a red ladybugs, I made a rainbow of LBs. 

I really can't wait to see what you all create for out "ladybug" challenge at CAS on Friday!

Floral frenzy

What was the first stamp you bought way, way way back when you first began stamping? IO betcha it was a floral stamp or a flower stamp was among one of the first you got. Flower stamps are the most versatile of all stamps. they can be used for all occasions.

Today at CAS on Friday we want you to create a CAS card using:

FLOWERS

I think this one is a no-brainer so I expect to see lots of entries!!

For today's card I used a new stamp set- no I couldn't use one of the thirty or so flowers tamp sets I already had, noooooo I had to get a new one!! I just couldn't resist "Tulips" from Reverse Confetti!

So come on over to CAS on Friday and join our floral frenzy!!

 

The most beautiful color in the world

Everyone has a favorite color. Mine happens to be green and that is the challenge this week at CAS on Friday. 

We are asking you to make it:

GREEN

Today's card features a favorite stamp set from Lawn Fawn called "simply celebrate summer".

You have two weeks to get your green on with us at CAS on Friday! Can't wait to see your green creations!

 

Bite me

 

How many of you stampers started stamping with wood stamps? Back in the day when I walked to 5 miles to school in a snow storm we had wood stamps. You had to guesstimate where your image was going to be on your card and if you wanted it perfect, you had to use a stamp positioner. The sentiment on my card is one of my few remaining wood stamps. I just could not part with this snarky saying. It often comes in handy.

Today kicks off a new challenge at CAS on Friday. We are asking you to add:

FOOD- something sweet to your cards.

The sentiment isn't the only old stamp on this card, I dug deep and used a very old cupcake set from Hero Arts. I have lots of cupcake stamps, but I always return to this set. I paper pieced the cupcake wrapper and used Nuevo drops for the sprinkles.

Sooooo.... if you don't want to play along...well just..... bite me. But I think this is a challenge you may just want to sink your teeth into. You have two weeks to play along with our sweet food challenge at CAS on Friday!

Welcome baby

 Happy Friday everyone. So glad the week is over and I have the weekend to look forward to. Rainbows seem to be the "in thing" for card making these days. Everyone has a rainbow, stamp, stencil and or die. I know have a plethora of all kinds of rainbows. And I have yet to actually make a rainbow colored rainbow!

Today is a new challenge at CAS on Friday and the timing could not be more perfect! 

BABY 

One of my staff just had a baby and I needed a baby card. 

Since she had a boy- blue rainbows it was gonna be. 

You have two weeks to play along with our baby theme challenge at CAS on Friday!

Home sweet home

 

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!! Yay!! The weekend is upon us! Today starts a new challenge at CAS on Friday! 

The theme this week is:

NEW HOME

This was a bit tough for me. I had to find a stamp hat would fit the challenge. I dug deep and found an old wood stamp that fit the build.

 

"Row Houses" by Stampendous

You have two weeks to join us in our "new house" challenge at CAS on Friday!

 

Don't you love to get "happy mail"? I know I do. I figure if I like to get mail than pothers must like getting mail. That is why I send cards out for all the holidays.

This weeks theme at CAS on Friday is just that:

HAPPY MAIL

My card today uses a new stamp set from Reverse Confetti called "snail mail".

One Man Band

 

Today I am hosting the challenge at CAS on Friday. Th e challenge I chose is one that surrounds me every day in some form or fashion.

MUSIC

My husband loves music and plays the guitar, so I have a stash of music inspired stamps. My card today features a funny little set from Mama Elephant that  picked up at one of the big box stores. This card will be for my 34th anniversary.

These two little monsters remind me of a song  called "One Man Band" by Old Dominion.

You have 2 weeks to make some music at CAS on Friday! Come on out and support my challenge by joining in!

Irish luck

 

We have been having a touch of spring in our weather. Temps have climbed into the 50s and we might see 64 next week. Spring is peeking around the corner.

Which quite coincidentally is the new challenge at CAS on Friday:

SPRING

Today's card features something old and something new. I fell in love with this adorable stamp set from Colorado Craft Company- a new company to me. That wee mouse holding a four leaf clover is just so dang cute! The sentiments and shamrocks are from Paper Tray Ink's Irish Blessings. Which is on sale for only $6.00!!!!

You have to weeks to get a spring in your step and spring on your cards!! Be sure to share your springy cards with us at CAS on Friday!!

The challenge is a color challenge. We are looking for you to use:

 orange turquoise and white

My card today uses a very old Simon Says Stamp set called "Make a Wish". Unfortunately it is no longer available.

My card today is the card I massed-produced for my staff. I give them cards three times a year. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine's day, to show my appreciation of everything they do. today's card features the "Pawsome Love" set from Simon Says Stamp.
