AAA Cards - Game 322

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. We have a theme for you, back to the 70s and 80s.

I had another set I was going to use with an Etch a Sketch but I could not find it so a cassette tape is the next best thing I could find that reminded me ot the 70s or 80s.

The cassette tape is a die set by Concord & 9th and the swirly stencil was in my stencil box but I am pretty sure it's by Dare 2B Artzy. 

Rediscover Your Supplies - August Edition

Today's card is for the Insta Hop, Rediscover Your Supplies. This hop encourages us to create with older supplies that we haven't used in a while or ever tucked away in our crafty spaces. My card uses a Create in Quads stencil by Taylored Expressions along with a balloon die and stamp set by The Stamp Market.

Full Steam into the Holidays

The holidays are quickly approaching, and we are in the process of moving so I am working on my holiday cards when I can. Dare 2B Artzy has some cute sets for the holiday season.

To make this card, I started with a top folding A2 card base, a white panel for the image and the snow and a panel of patterned paper for the snowy background. 

I stamped the image, colored it using Copic markers, cut it out with the coordinating dies and added it to the front.

Addicted to CAS 315- Anniversary

The stamp sets I used are by Hero Arts.

Team Tuesday with Hero Arts

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog today sharing this card made using the August My Monthly Hero card kit. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of Aqua cardstock in which I ran through the die cutting machine using a pierced cover plate. I used the BigBook die set from the August card kit by Hero Arts. 

I cut the book out of white cardstock and then placed it down on a Sticky Mat inside of the Original Misti, I masked off the edges of the book and then placed the stencils over the "cover" and created the pattern  for the book. Next I removed the masks and moved them to cover the front of the book and ink blended the binding of the book.  To finish the card I stamped and cut out the sentiment and adhered them using the Precision Glue Press. 

AAA 321 - One plus One

Sending Sunshine August Edition

Today's card is for the Sending Sunshine hop over on Instagram. This hop is a result of the Suicide Awareness hop that we do annually.  Why wait once a year to talk about suicide prevention why not monthly and even daily. So a group of makers get together once a month on the second Friday of the month at 1pm eastern, no theme just an encouraging card you will send out to someone who needs it. 

My card uses the Daisy Delight bundle from Concord & 9th. I started with a white top folding A2 card base . I cut the daisy frame out twice with white cardstock and one with Harbor cardstock for the top piece. Next I cut all the flowers out of white and ink blended them with color.
