AAA Cards 278- A Sketch

Today starts a new challenge at AAA Cards, and it's a sketch. 

To make my card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel.  I used the Tim Holtz Stamptember set in collab with Simon Says Stamp. You can only get this set before it sells out in september so needless to say it's no longer available. I have linked another one of Tim's sets below that I love.

I stamped the reindeer on the white panel colored them using OLO markers and cut them out with a postage die. To finish the card, I added the sentiment. 

Snow

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted To CAS. 

Helen is our hostess and she chose the code word...

To make my card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a couple white panels.  One panel I ran through the die cutting machine using a cover plate and the second one I used for the snowflake. 

To create the snowflake I used a stencil/die combo by PinkFresh Studio.

To finish the card, I added the "peace" die cut by Kristina Werner.

You Make My Heart Bloom

I am back with another fall card using this cute little fox set, Fall Foxes by The Rabbit Hole Designs. I paired it up with an older set, Blooming Heart because you can have flowers blooming in the fall. 

I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I stamped the floral heart  and fox on the panel, colored them and  cut them out with the coordinating die. I stamped the scarf for the fox on a piece of patterned paper and fussy cut it out. 

 I popped the heart up with foam tape and then glued the fox to it. To finish the card, I stamped the greeting directly on the card base.

Fall Foxes

Happy November!

It's Fall but let me tell ya how it works for me.  I live in a location where the colors of fall are gorgeous but they are usually gone by November. 

So as far as decorating and how I perceive fall it goes like this. 

Fall is end of August through October 31st. Christmas is November 1st through January 6th.

Thanksgiving is November 28th.

I usually don't make fall cards in November but I will have another next week using this cute little fox.  

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. I used the Falling Leaves stencil to create a background and masked off a section for the greeting.

Comfort & Joy

I am up on the CutCardStock blog today sharing this card using some of our Stardream Metallic Cardstock along with this gorgeous die by Concord & 9th.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of dark green cardstock. For the flowers I used the Stardream Metallic cardstock, the light green and gold are also cut from the metallic cardstock. I added all the pieces to the stitched panel which serves as a guide but can also be used alone. 

To finish the card, I added a sentiment stamped on a kraft strip of cardstock, embossed with gold powder and cut out with the die.

Blended Pansies

Happy Tuesday! I am up on the CutCardStock blog today sharing this card. To make this card, I started out by die cutting all the parts of the pansies in Neenah White. For two of them I also cut out parts in colored cardstock Amethyst, Plum Purple and Sunflower and also ink blended parts of the pansy using distress inks.

After I got all the flowers glued together I arranged them on a glass mat the way I wanted them on the card and then picked them up with a piece of Press and Seal.

For the background I used a waffle Flower cover plate cut out of Neenah Solar White because it needed background texture. Before I placed the pansies down I added some leaves and popped up the pansies.

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.
