Grateful for you

Today starts a new challenge at AAA Cards.Our challenge is Anything Goes (as long as it's CAS) and there is an optional twist of halloween.

I am not much of a halloween person so I made a fall card. I started with a white top folding A2 card and a white panel. I used a Dare 2B Artzy Stamptember set. When I received this set was when we were hit by Helene and I had not power or internet. I still have no internet but I do have power. 

I stamped the image on the white panel and colored it using OLO markers. To finish the card, I added a greeting from a current set.

Gnome Friend

I am up on the CutCardStock blog today sharing this card using our colored cardstock along with the Gnome Sweet Gnome by Taylored Expressions.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and several colors of cardstock. These remind me of paper dolls back in the day.  The cardstock colors I used are below in the supply list.

For the background I used some patterned paper and die cut the friend into a potion of it. I cut the word friend out of gold and pieced it in the negative space. To finish the card I stamped the word hey in front of friend and popped the gnome up. I also added some white gel pen highlights.

Halloween

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS.  Sue is our hostess and she chose the code word...

I don't normally do halloween so I am limited to halloween stamps but have this cute one from Dare 2B Artzy.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I stamped the shoe, colored it and fussy cut it out. 

I stamped the greeting directly on the card base. 

I also participate in a monthly Insta hop where we rediscover our supplies. There is a theme and the purpose is to use older supplies that you forgot you had. It is open to all crafters so head over to instagram and check it out!

Warm and Cozy Wishes

Happy Thursday! 

Today I am sharing  a card using products from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

To make this card,  started with a white top folding A2 card base and a couple of kraft panels. 

On the one panel I stamped the pinecone image in Versamark ink, embossed it with white powder and then cut it out with the coordinating die.  One the second panel I used the Back Alley stencil and Gathered Twigs distress ink for a background.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Warm & Cozy set. 

To give an update, we are out of town and I have internet so I have went back and updated most of my post and added links to supplies. 

I guess if there is anything good about not having internet, I wont have  a bill next month. It's been rough and still is around here. Please continue to keep WNC in your prayers.

So Grateful

I am up on the CutCardStock blog today sharing this card. I love the details and depth of the sunflowers. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a 120lb white pane for the die cut. 

I used a die cut and stencil by Waffle Flower and colored it using VersaFine Clair inks. 

Using heavyweight paper gave the panel more details and then ink blending with the stencil added depth.

To finish the card, I added a die cut word sentiment that I triple cut out of Stardream Metallic gold cardstock.

Case Me a Christmas Card

Today I have the honor of participating in my friend Michelle's holiday card series, Case Me a Christmas Card. This is a series she started back in 2016!  How it works is she chooses one of my cards to case and I chose one of hers and we make them into Christmas cards.

CASE stands for either Copy And Share Everything, or Copy And Selectively Edit. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends, but making a new card that is our own. 

This is the card I chose to CASE

For my card, I just basically used her sketch, which is wonderful by the way.

I started with a white top folding A2 white card base and a white panel. I created a background on the entire panel by using a stencil by Hero Arts and then added a frame using Stardream Metallic Silver paper and a frame die by Altenew. Instead of flowers I used snowflakes and then added a die cut, heat embossed sentiment by Taylored Expressions. 

Once again I will be back once I get internet and add the links, in the meantime please go to another post that uses these companies with link if you are inspired to buy the products I used. I appreciate you using my links to shop.

Fa- la- la

Well things are coming together but it is day who knows what without internet, thankgoodness we have some cell service. I totally understand that the focus is to restore every ones power first but I would love to be able just to browse instagram and not have to worry about going over the data or to write up a post and not have to hotspot also using data. 

So once again, I will come back and update with links and details when we get internet.

The set I used is from The Rabbit Hole Designs
